Elements on the move: How ungulate migration expands Alpine biogeochemical footprints
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Using a spatially explicit model parameterized with GPS telemetry, we show that migratory and resident red deer play distinct roles in nitrogen redistribution across alpine landscapes. Migrants uniquely transport nitrogen upslope and up elevation, linking ecosystem element pools and revealing how the loss of migration alters large‐scale ecosystem ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2016 While the upward shift of plant species has been observed on many alpine and nival summits, the reaction of the subalpine and lower alpine plant communities to the current warming and lower snow precipitation has been little investigated so far.

Insect Science, EarlyView.The Moorland Clouded Yellow (Colias palaeno) benefited from cattle grazing in three different ways by (i) fostering the nectar supply; (ii) enhancing rejuvenation of the host plant (Vaccinium uliginosum); and (iii) improving microclimatic conditions for successful development of the immature stages.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

Patterns of past and recent conversion of indigenous grasslands in the South Island, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2012 We used recent satellite imagery to quantify the extent, type, and rate of conversion of remaining indigenous grasslands in the inland eastern South Island of New Zealand in recent years.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...

SOWING GRASSLANDS – EFFICIENT SOLUTION FOR ZOOTEHNICAL PRODUCTION
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 Recruitment is critical for the maintenance of plant populations and community diversity, but sexual regeneration is considered to be infrequent in climatically harsh habitats such as sub alpine grasslands.

McCaskill Alpine Garden, Lincoln College : a collection of high country native plants [PDF]
, 1984 The garden, named after the founding Director of the Tussock Grasslands and Mountain Lands Institute, is intended to be educational. From the early 1970s, a small garden plot provided a touch of character to the original Institute building, but it was in

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Our analysis revealed that while climate strongly influenced species distributions, habitat change drove most observed delays in distribution responses. In terms of community ecology, dispersed communities exhibited shorter time lags than concentrated groups. Analyses of lag duration revealed a 5–6‐year distribution lag effect in high‐altitude ungulate
