A thread on what we found out🧵

1. Arthropods perform key roles in ecosystem processes on islands, especially on seabird islands where they affect nutrient cycling and disposition. But, what happens when these arthropod communities 🐜🕷️🪰🪲🦗are subject to a novel predator, such as house mice? 🐭
2. Mice are slated for eradication on Midway Atoll NWR once it was discovered that they were attacking and killing nesting albatross😟However, how will Midway's arthropod communities respond or recover once mice are gone? How do communities differ where mice are/aren't present?🧐
