Low-lying, salt-tolerant goose grazing lawn in foreground, giving way to higher elevation, salt-intolerant tundra in background. Geese require vegetation that is higher in quality and lower in biomass than caribou.

Ninespine stickleback experimental release
Ninespine stickleback experimental release. The addition of small-bodied ninespine stickleback to fishless thermokarst ponds provided valuable information on their ability to influence invertebrate prey. Through consumption, ninespine stickleback substantially reduced invertebrate biomass during the 6-week experiment.
