Description
Arthropod food webs were explored in a glacier foreland area in Kobbefjord, near Nuuk in West Greenland during the summers of 2015 and 2016 using a combination of wet and dry pitfall traps. The primary aim is to describe the food web in the early stages of succesion after ice retreat. Arthropod predators and their potential arthropod prey were identified to family or species level.
