Climate change has brought about fluctuations in the behavior of anemones, gnats, and crickets, much like a roller coaster ride. While spring may be earlier and milder on average, there can still be storms and snow. This variability presents challenges for both plants and animals. When conditions are warm and snow-free, plants need to sprout early, insects need to take flight, and birds need to lay their eggs. However, in colder winter years, these activities become more difficult and costly.
The North and Arctic regions face particularly tough selection situations due to the rapid warming of land areas. In Northeast Greenland, researchers have been monitoring the spring activities of plants, arthropods, and birds for the past 25 years. The study region includes the North Arctic region, Svalbard, Arctic Ocean islands, and the northernmost coasts of Siberia and Canada. The research has shown that while there is an overall warming trend
