Traditional Knowledge and Conservation Priorities of Eurasian Red Squirrel (<i>Sciurus vulgaris</i>) in Finland. [PDF]
Ecol EvolEurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) has played an important role in Finnish traditional culture and livelihoods from pre‐historic times. Convergence of observations points to the case where the iconic mammal of the northern forests is in decline and migrating to the urban habitats, with a number of important consequences.

Changes in electrocardiogram parameters during acute nonshivering cold exposure and associations with brown adipose tissue activity, plasma catecholamine levels, and brachial blood pressure in healthy adults. [PDF]
Physiol Rep, 2021 Sympathetic activity causes changes in electrocardiogram (ECG) during cold exposure and the changes have been studied mostly during hypothermia and less during mild acute nonshivering cold exposure. Cold‐induced sympathetic activity also activates brown adipose tissue (BAT) and increases arterial blood pressure (BP) and plasma catecholamine levels.

Grazing hay meadows: History, distribution, and ecological context
Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 26, Issue 2, April/June 2023., 2023 Grazing hay meadows, once widespread across Europe, became limited to rural regions with maintained traditional agriculture. Spring and autumn grazing, along with corralling and manuring of hay meadows, were integral parts of all farming systems existing in the Carpathian Mountains in parallel before agricultural intensification. We describe details on

Plot size matters: Toward comparable species richness estimates across plot‐based inventories
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Species richness is a commonly used biodiversity indicator. Because it strongly depends on the area sampled, comparability of species richness estimates across inventories using different plot sizes is not directly possible. We provide a methodological framework based on rarefaction curves to tackle this challenge.

Patterns of protist distribution and diversification in alpine lakes across Europe
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 10, Issue 4, August 2021., 2021 Deviations of high‐mountain protist communities from lowland communities are well known but the underlying diversification processes are hardly understood. Here, we studied protist communities in several European high‐mountain ranges and analyzed commonalities and deviations between these sites.

Reconstruction of Chronic Proximal Hamstring Tear: Description of a Surgical Technique
Arthroscopy Techniques, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page e1307-e1313, May 2021., 2021 Abstract While proximal hamstring tears at the myotendinous junction are common sports‐related injuries that are often successfully treated nonoperatively, complete avulsions from the origin on the ischial tuberosity are less common and better treated with surgical repair to prevent significant functional limitations and ongoing weakness. The diagnosis
