Does the restoration of shallow marginal peatlands alter the distribution or abundance of bog asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum)? [PDF]
Bog asphodel, Narthecium ossifragum, is a flowering plant, commonly found in many wet acidic habitats, including upland blanket bogs where sheep and cattle grazing has been considered as the most feasible economic activity.

Aniulus Paludicolens, N. SP. (Julida: Paraiulidae), a Bog-Dwelling Milliped [PDF]
Almost without exception, millipeds require a continuously moist substratum, yet they do not tolerate flooding. Other ecological factors that limit their distribution are subtle and difficult to recognize. Aniulus paludicolens, n.

Octahedral tilting and ferroelectricity in RbANb2O7 (A = Bi, Nd) from first principles [PDF]
The effects of octahedral tilting of RbANb2O7 (A = Bi, Nd) compounds was studied using density-functional theory. In this compound, the structural phase transition was correlated with two octahedral tilting modes (a-a-c0 tilting and a0a0c+ tilting), and magnitude of the octahedral tilting mode was analyzed in the optimized structure.
