Reduced snow cover at the alpine treeline: resistance and recovery of saplings. [PDF]
Summary At high elevations, tree saplings and shrubs are usually protected by mid‐winter snow cover, although climate change is expected to extend the snow‐free (SF) period. Exposure to winter drought, freeze–thaw events and freezing temperatures will therefore increase, inducing damages to the hydraulic system and to living cells, resulting in reduced

Recent observations suggest that climate change affects the growth conditions and range of tree species distribution in Europe. This may also have a major effect on communities of different organisms associated with these tree species.

Molecular phylogenetics reveal the first record of Sierran Treefrog, Pseudacris sierra (Jameson, Mackey, & Richmond, 1966) (Anura, Hylidae), in Canada [PDF]
The Pacific chorus frog complex (Pseudacris spp.) includes three closely related species distributed from British Columbia to Baja California: P. hypochondriaca (Hallowell 1854), P. regilla (Baird & Girard 1852), and P.

A Study in the Summer Phenology of Dionychious Spiders from Northern Minnesota Forests [PDF]
Dionychious ground layer spiders from Larix and Populus stands were collected by pitfall traps. The typical pattern of dominant, influent and accessory species was well marked. Populus stands had greater diversity of species than Larix stands.
