Recent study found an ecological shift from a 2-year developmental period to a 1-year developmental period for U. pallikuukensis. This implies future changes in adaptation abilities and the time-lag interactions with other organisms, which will continue to impact phenology of a variety of taxa involved in the transmission of diseases. This study aimed to develop a model depicting the past, present, and future trends in U. pallikuukensis development in the arctic tundra accounting for variables in soil-surface temperature, the threshold temperature, etc. Read more about how global warming is allowing for the expansion of disease-carrying parasites to invade Arctic wildlife: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0304401709003495
