The diel niche of brown bears: constraints on adaptive capacity in human‐modified landscapes

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 10, October 2025.
Diel activity rhythms, representing the behavioral pattern of the sleep–wake cycle, may be adjusted by wildlife in response to changes in environmental conditions. An increase in nocturnality is typically recognized as an adaptive strategy to segregate from humans and mitigate heat stress. Numerous studies have investigated spatial patterns and habitat

The Inverse Problem of Identification of Hydrogen Permeability Model

Advances in Mathematical Physics, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
One of the technological challenges for hydrogen materials science is the currently active search for structural materials with important applications (including the ITER project and gas‐separation plants). One had to estimate the parameters of diffusion and sorption to numerically model the different scenarios and experimental conditions of the ...

Pondering the non‐return of ageing migrants in the Finnish–Russian everyday transnational context

International Migration, Volume 63, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract In the Finnish–Russian migratory context, return migration does not exist as such. In this article, we examine the non‐return migration of Russian‐speaking elderly migrants through the lens of the transnational everyday. The transnational everyday of Russians in Finland has, until recently, enabled their back‐and‐forth trips from Finland to ...

PDO Dynamics Shape the Fire Regime of Boreal Subarctic Landscapes in the Northwest Territories, Canada

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract Spatially explicit reconstructions of fire activity in northwestern boreal Canada are rare, despite their importance for modeling current and future disturbance regimes and forest dynamics. We provide a dendrochronological reconstruction of historical fire activity along Highway 3 in the Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, within the boreal ...

Younger Dryas and Early Holocene ice‐margin dynamics in northwest Russia

Boreas, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 376-400, July 2024.
Although the dynamics of the last Fennoscandian Ice Sheet are relatively well constrained in the Nordic countries, ice‐margin dynamics in NW Russia are comparatively less well understood. In this paper, large‐scale geomorphological data and a comprehensive numerical age database are used to reconstruct Younger Dryas and Early Holocene ice‐margin ...

Expanding from local to continental scale—A genetic assessment of the Eurasian wolverine

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract Aim Our aim was to assess the population structure, genetic diversity and demographic history of the wolverine (Gulo gulo) throughout its entire Eurasian range. Additionally, we aimed to contextualize and put into perspective the state of the endangered Fennoscandian population by emphasizing its connectivity to other populations. Location The
