Do water-limiting conditions predispose Norway spruce to bark beetle attack?

New Phytologist, 2014
Drought is considered to enhance susceptibility of Norway spruce (Picea abies) to infestations by the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus, Coleoptera: Curculionidae), although empirical evidence is scarce. We studied the impact of experimentally

A high‐altitude thermal infrared method for estimating moose abundance and demography in Rocky Mountain National Park, USA

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

Benefit or ecological trap? Monitoring the effects of small clear‐cuts on capercaillie Tetrao urogallus and its mammalian predators

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The shift to ‘close to nature forestry' as the dominating forestry regime in western‐European forests has resulted in increasing timber volume and denser forests with negative effects on photophilic species. Hence, there is an increasing focus on active habitat management measures to support these species.

Programmed cell death and genetic stability in conifer embryogenesis [PDF]

, 2007
Somatic embryogenesis, the generation of embryos from somatic cells, is a valuable tool for studying embryology. In addition, somatic embryos can be used for large-scale vegetative propagation, an application of great interest for forestry.

Maximizing the detection probabilities of dusky grouse for population monitoring

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Despite its status as a game species in the western USA, rigorous monitoring of dusky grouse Dendragapus obscurus populations is limited. Obtaining an adequate number of observations for effective population monitoring of dusky grouse is challenging due to difficult‐to‐reach montane habitats, cryptic behaviors, and limited personnel, time, and funds at

Comparative evaluation of noninvasive DNA sampling and line transect surveys for spring density estimation of black grouse and capercaillie

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reliable abundance estimates provide essential information in ecology, conservation and management of many wild grouse populations. In this 3‐year study, we comparatively evaluate the suitability of traditional line transect distance sampling of flushed birds versus a spatial capture–recapture survey with noninvasive DNA samples for individual ...

Landscape factors influencing predation on capercaillie nests by two competing mesopredators: pine marten and red fox

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predation by pine martens Martes martes and red foxes Vulpes vulpes is an important factor influencing the population dynamics of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relative effects of these mesopredators on the reproductive success of capercaillie. To better understand how various landscape factors influence
