Arthropods play an essential role in terrestrial ecosystems, not least by forming the food base for insectivorous birds. To better understand such trophic interactions, it is essential to monitor seasonal trajectories in arthropod biomass.

Studies on insectivorous birds have often used such relationships with a low taxonomic resolution and/or small sample size and/or adopted regressions calibrated in different biomes. Despite the scientific interest in the ecology of arctic arthropods, no site-specific family-level length-biomass relationships have hitherto been published.
