Reliable abundance estimates provide essential information in ecology, conservation and management of many wild grouse populations. In this 3‐year study, we comparatively evaluate the suitability of traditional line transect distance sampling of flushed birds versus a spatial capture–recapture survey with noninvasive DNA samples for individual ...

Seasonal changes shape herbivore behaviour by altering forage availability and habitat conditions; however, few studies integrate diet and habitat selection data across temporal scales. This study uses seasonality as a unifying framework to combine fine‐scale GPS‐based habitat selection data with broader‐scale dietary information from stable isotope ...

Variation in structure and selected properties of Finnish birch wood. II.
The anatomical variation of a lateral root was compared with that of the stem of the same tree at breast height by concentrating on the intrelationships of certain anatomical features in and The results showed that root wood has several essential ...

Two Birch Species Demonstrate Opposite Latitudinal Patterns in Infestation by Gall-Making Mites in Northern Europe. [PDF]
Latitudinal patterns in herbivory, i.e. variations in plant losses to animals with latitude, are generally explained by temperature gradients. However, earlier studies suggest that geographical variation in abundance and diversity of gall-makers may be ...

Abstract Introduction Climate mitigation by peatland restoration is suggested, but data from restored forestry‐drained peatlands (FDP) is sparse. Studies using surrogate emission factors from pristine peatlands have indicated a long‐lasting warming effect of restoration of nutrient‐poor FDPs, while restoration‐specific studies are missing.

Summary Soil nutrients and vertebrate herbivory are key ecological factors with opposite and interactive effects on grassland plant traits and biomass. Partitioning trait changes into species turnover and intraspecific change provides a mechanistic linkage between trait shifts and biomass responses.

A comparative study of birches (Betula pendula Roth and Betula pubescens Ehrh.), growing in relatively clean natural habitats (e.g."Kivatch" forest reserve) and urban areas (e.g. cities of Petrozavodsk and Kondopoga), indicated significant differences in

To improve our understanding of factors influencing the success of natural regeneration with downy birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.) and silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) on abandoned farmlands, a survey was conducted to analyse the effects of site ...
