Animal Conservation, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 334-352, June 2025.Our review of 195 studies highlights the consensus on raptors’ avoidance behavior and population decline post‐wind farm installation, emphasizing the significant risks posed by mountaintop wind farms to soaring raptors. Adult raptor mortality, particularly among endangered species, and the elevated collision risks faced by young individuals underscore ...

Norwegian lemmings, Lemmus lemmus: a case for a strong herbivore–plant interaction
Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.In his classical contributions, Olavi Kalela proposed that, due to the low primary productivity of the tundra, Norwegian lemmings are locked in a strong interaction with their winter forage plants. Proposedly, Norwegian lemmings respond to the threat of critical resource depletion by conducting long‐range migrations at their population peaks.

Migratory Birds Advance Spring Arrival and Egg‐Laying in the Arctic, Mostly by Travelling Faster
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 4, April 2025.A warming climate is affecting the phenology of life on earth, including when birds migrate and start breeding. We show that earlier arrival is a general pattern also for birds travelling to the Arctic region, arriving earlier when snow melts early as well as with time.

Changes in parasite transmission stage excretion after pheasant release [PDF]
, 2012 The production of parasite transmission stages was investigated in the faeces of 77 farm-bred ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus). Coccidian oocysts (Eimeria sp.), and nematode eggs (Heterakis sp., and Capillaria-like eggs) were recovered before ...

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 1, January 2025.Abstract The exact mechanisms behind population cycles remain elusive. An ongoing debate centers on whether predation by small mustelids is necessary and sufficient to generate rodent cycles, as stipulated by the specialist predator hypothesis (SPH).

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Understanding the organisation of the wide variety of ecological interactions is crucial to advancing our understanding and management of real ecosystems. We aimed to compile a ‘complete’ network of tetrapod trophic and non‐trophic interactions for the entire North American boreal forest biome that could be analysed to gain insights into ...
