Resumé
We seek travel and accommodation funding to initiate new work on Arctic terrestrial and aquatic arthropods facing rising temperatures and limited ability to cope through evolution. We will develop camera‑based species identification tools, map biodiversity along a 0–800 m Narsarsuaq gradient, and measure tolerance to test if thermal adaptation and physiological limits vary along the gradient.
