About Rudy Boonstra

Rudy Boonstra, With an exceptional h-index of 76 and a recent h-index of 39 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of Toronto, specializes in the field of role of stress in nature, maternal effects, epigenetics, population regulation, life history adaptations.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Long‐term monitoring of cycles in Clethrionomys rutilus in the Yukon boreal forest

Down-regulating the stress axis: Living in the present while preparing for the future

Coping with extreme free cortisol levels: Seasonal stress axis changes in sympatric North American flying squirrels

Trends in groundberry cover under climate change in the southern and central Yukon, 1997 to 2022

Long-term monitoring in the boreal forest reveals high spatio-temporal variability among primary ecosystem constituents

An experimental analysis of density‐dependence in meadow voles: Within‐season and delayed effects

Does coat colour influence survival? A test in a cyclic population of snowshoe hares

Coat color mismatch improves survival of a keystone boreal herbivore: Energetic advantages exceed lost camouflage
