Small birches matter: Beetle diversity on burned birch and pine in boreal forests

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Burned birch hosted higher beetle richness than burned pine. Higher beetle richness on birch was associated with its greater post‐fire mortality, with charred, dead birches attracting more specialized beetles. Retaining burned birch alongside pine can enhance saproxylic and pyrophilous beetle diversity after prescribed burning.

Conceptualizing the Multicultural ‘North’ in the Íslendingasögur: Peoples, Places, and Phenomena

Nordlit: Tidsskrift i litteratur og kultur, 2020
During the early medieval period, a large part of Fennoscandia was inhabited by the Sámi (Zachrisson 2008, 32). With written sources such as Historia Norvegiæ, Ágrip af Noregs konungasǫgum, and Heimskringla referring to Sámi settlements in the Viking ...

A single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping panel for efficient genetic stock identification of the Teno river Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) population complex

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel for genetic stock identification in the Teno river Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., fishery was developed, with a view to improving on an existing microsatellite panel. Twenty‐two genetically differentiated reporting units were proposed based on population genetic analyses of 1212 individuals ...

Deciduous forest restoration alters but does not restore functional and phylogenetic diversity of saproxylic beetles

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoring ecological function and stability is crucial amid anthropogenic biodiversity loss. Yet, taxonomic diversity alone provides an incomplete picture, requiring incorporation of functional and phylogenetic diversity. Objectives We evaluated how boreal deciduous forest restoration influences functional and phylogenetic ...

Resurvey of Boreal Earthworm Communities in Southern and Northern Finland

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 4, December 2026.
Boreal forests account for 11.5% of the Earth's land area, and, unlike oceanic and mediterranean forests, their cold winters typically represent the harshest season for earthworms. In Fennoscandia, these forests are subject to substantial global changes, notably climate change and land use intensification, which might impact earthworm populations.

Contemporary Management of Human‐Caused Hybridization in Mammals: A Review

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 4, December 2026.
By reviewing studies on human‐mediated (i.e., anthropogenic) hybridization, we identify key management gaps, including inconsistent identification of admixed individuals, limited population‐level assessments, insufficient social engagement, and unclear management objectives.

Major decline in fires in coniferous forests – reconstructing the phenomenon and seeking for the cause

Silva Fennica, 2011
Steep decline in forest fires about a century ago occurred in coniferous forests over large areas in North America and Fennoscandia. This poorly understood phenomenon has been explained by different factors in different regions.

Widespread synchrony in phosphorus concentrations in northern lakes linked to winter temperature and summer precipitation

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2023
In recent years, unexplained declines in lake total phosphorus (TP) concentrations have been observed at northern latitudes (> 42°N latitude) where most of the world's lakes are found.
