The importance of farmland for Ortolan Buntings nesting on raised peat bogs

open access: yes, 2000
The majority of the Norwegian population ofthe endangered Ortolan Bunting, Emberiza hortulana, breeds on raised peat bogs. I studied whether their breeding site selection was affected by the availability of another habitat (farmland) close to bogs.

Climatic conditions, landscape, and habitat quality drive patch occupancy and larval density of a threatened mire butterfly

open access: yesInsect 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.

Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

Observations upon Bogs of Northern Iowa

open access: yes, 1939
Observations upon bogs in the vicinity of the Okoboji Lakes in Northern Iowa were made in summers of 1936-37-38. The area was about thirty-five by twenty-five miles.

Species‐Specific Genetic Patterns in Sympatric Freshwater Turtles Challenge a Generalized Multi‐Species Conservation Approach

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
We compared genetic diversity and spatial genetic structure in the snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina; left panel), Blanding's turtle (Emydoidea blandingii; bottom right), and spotted turtle (Clemmys guttata; top right) sampled in areas of co‐occurrence across ~49,160 km2.

Taxonomic and functional turnover are decoupled in peat bogs

open access: yes, 2017
In peatland ecosystems, plant communities mediate a globally significant carbon store. The effects of global environmental change on plant assemblages are expected to be a factor in determining how ecosystem functions such as carbon uptake will respond ...
