Predators attract prey through ecosystem engineering in the Arctic

open access: yesEcosphere, 2018
Predators can affect prey through mechanisms other than predation; for example, redistributing resources could modify habitats favorably for other organisms.

Contradictory instruments undermine the implementation of agricultural nutrient management policy mixes

open access: yesAgronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Optimizing agricultural nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) nutrient application and crop structure regulation are common ways to control non‐point pollution. However, comprehensive effects of nutrient surplus and farmers’ revenue remain poorly understood.

Does water vole diet meet the prerequisites of the “plant hypothesis” for explaining population cycles?

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Rodent population cycles are observed in highly seasonal environments. As most rodents are herbivorous, the availability and the quality of their food resources vary greatly across seasons. Furthermore, it is well documented that herbivore densities have a measurable effect on vegetation and, conversely, that vegetation dynamics can influence ...

Tonic cuff pressure pain sensitivity in chronic pain patients and its relation to self-reported physical activity

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Pain, 2023
Physical inactivity is a global health concern and a significant problem among chronic pain patients. They often experience pain flare-ups when they try to increase their physical activity level. Most research on the relationship between pain sensitivity

Of Titans and Terraria: Exploring and Conceptualising Philanthropic Foundations Through the Lens of Metaphors

open access: yesJournal of Philanthropy, Volume 31, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Addressing ongoing calls for a more robust understanding of philanthropic foundations, this paper uses metaphor analysis to map and analyse analogical metaphors on foundations—metaphors that make a direct comparison between philanthropic foundations and another domain—put forward in academic and non‐academic discourse.

Borys Vynogradov, a mammalogist of the Kharkiv School and founder of the ZIN Theriological Laboratory [PDF]

open access: yesNovitates Theriologicae, 2022
An essay about a zoologist who began his career in Kharkiv in the system of plant protection stations. During this period (1913–1921), the researcher paid attention to the taxonomy and ecology of rodents.

Sugarcane nutrition under organomineral fertilizer, phosphate‐solubilizing bacteria, and reduced phosphate doses

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 815-831, May 2026.
Sugarcane phosphorus (P) availability is limited in tropical soils, requiring strategies to improve fertilizer efficiency. This study evaluated Bacillus velezensis UFV 3918 (Bv) in combination with an organomineral fertilizer (OF) at reduced monoammonium phosphate (MAP) doses. It showed that Bv + OF + 1/3 MAP achieved soil and plant P levels comparable

Why do predators specialize on lemmings? Insights from long-term monitoring in the Norwegian low Arctic

open access: yesArctic Science
Rodent prey sustains a diverse assemblage of Arctic predators. While lemmings and voles cooccur in large parts of the Arctic, certain predators appear to specialize on lemmings.

Vole abundance and reindeer carcasses determine breeding activity of Arctic foxes in low Arctic Yamal, Russia

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2017
Background High latitude ecosystems are at present changing rapidly under the influence of climate warming, and specialized Arctic species at the southern margin of the Arctic may be particularly affected.
