Biology, Ecology and Cold Tolerance of Arctic Insects
Principal Investigator: Ring, Richard A.
Licensed Year(s): 1993 1992 1990 1987
Summary: The researcher and his team will collect and identify arctic insects. Such studies should lead to a better understanding of food webs in Arctic ecosystems which are often regarded as fragile but complex, and could prove useful in monitoring more subtle effects on food chains brought about by disruption of the habitat by physical or chemical forces....

Mechanisms Mediating Freezing Tolerance in Arctic Insects
Principal Investigator: Kukal, Olga
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991
Summary: Arctic arthropod communities are extremely sensitive to changes in their physical environment and their composition reflects trace elements in the atmosphere or minor fluctuations in termperature. This project is part of a larger, long-term project involving a survey of arctic arthropods which will ultimately provide a monitoring system for global climatic changes and indicate levels of pollutants...
