Direct Interaction Between Roe Deer and Mountain Hare, a Case of Interference Encounter Competition?
Here, we report on a case of direct interaction between a roe deer doe and a mountain hare recorded by a camera trap in Tydal Municipality, Norway, suggestive of direct interference competition. The roe deer doe is following and displacing the mountain hare for at least 2 min and 29 s, including a 19 s active phase.

Rewetting drained boreal peatland forests is increasingly promoted as a climate mitigation strategy, yet its effects on carbon (C) and greenhouse gas (GHG) balances remain uncertain. This study quantified CO2 and CH4 fluxes over 2 years before and after rewetting in a low‐productive peatland forest, with and without tree harvest.
