Vehicle‐assisted suicidal strangulation: A case report and literature review

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Vehicle‐assisted suicidal strangulation is an unusual method of suicide where the victim completes suicide by pulling a ligature tied around their neck using the acceleration of the vehicle they are driving. This report describes a case of a 48‐year‐old man who completed suicide by tying a rope to his neck and to a parked tractor, then using ...

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

Norway spruce in the Right Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine: perspectives of use and improvement of reproduction methods

open access: yesНаукові праці Лісівничої академії наук України, 2018
Today, in Ukraine and abroad, the drying up of Norway spruce trees in forest plantations of different purpose has become a serious problem. Considering the important economic and social significance of spruce, studies of its condition, growth and ...

Induced Resistance to Pathogenic Fungi in Norway Spruce [PDF]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 1999
Abstract Norway spruce (Picea abies) trees (approximately 16 m high) of a single clone were used to study the effects of fungal infection and wounding on induction of resistance to the bark beetle-associated bluestain fungusCeratocystis polonica.

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.

Flavanone-3-Hydroxylase Plays an Important Role in the Biosynthesis of Spruce Phenolic Defenses Against Bark Beetles and Their Fungal Associates

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Conifer forests worldwide are becoming increasingly vulnerable to attacks by bark beetles and their fungal associates due to the effects of global warming.

Can Wapiti (Cervus elaphus) Browsing Stimulate the Chemical Defense of Taxus cuspidata—A Case of Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We study that browsing by wapiti reduces the growth of saplings, and it develop chemical defenses to prevent themselves browsed again. These results reduce our concern about wapiti browse T. cuspidate saplings, and provide basic data for the study of the interaction between them, and also provide theoretical basis for the population restoration and ...

Climatic adaptation of seed maturity in Scots pine and Norway spruce populations

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2001
Seed maturation of Scots pine and Norway spruce in a provenance experiment at Kortkeros (northern Russia) was examined by the X-ray method. Logarithmic relationships were found between seed anatomy development and long-term average thermal sum.

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...
