Data from: Transferability of biotic interactions: temporal consistency of arctic plant-rodent relationships is poor
Variability in biotic interaction strength is an integral part of food web functioning. However, the consequences of the spatial and temporal variability of biotic interactions are poorly known, in particular for predicting species abundance and distribution. The amplitude of rodent population cycle...

Variability in biotic interaction strength is an integral part of food web functioning. However, the consequences of the spatial and temporal variability of biotic interactions are poorly known, in particular for predicting species abundance and distribution.

Rodent abundance was related to both food and shelter biomass during the first peak, and spatial transferability was mostly good.
