Abstract:
... The seasonal mortality of black grouse Tetrao tetrix was studied in southeastern Norway (60°26′N, 10°54′E), in a study area dominated by up to 80% Norway spruce Picea abies. Modem forestry with clear‐cuttings has been practised, and 50% of the forest was younger than 30 years. Fourteen males and seven females were captured on a lek in spring 1991 and equipped with radio transmitters. During the fo ...

We tested this hypothesis by comparing movement from leks to summer range in three geographical regions, viz. northwest Russia (Pechora), southwest Russia (Tver) and southeast Norway (Varaldskogen). All radio‐collared males dispersed out of thei ...

Abstract:
... To survive in harsh winter conditions, animals must make behavioural and physiological adaptations. The selection of good habitats may prevent a negative energy budget and reduce predation risk. The capercaillie Tetrao urogallus, the largest of all grouse, feeds in winter on conifer needles, a superabundant but low-energy food resource. We hypothesised that capercaillie should select nocturnal roo ...

Common Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) populations are dependent on specific key conifer species for their primary food supply, but many of these conifers standardly show irregular cone crop production. Consequently, the species has evolved a nomadic behavior, breeding in areas with a high crop production in given years. Northern European crossbills mostly forage on Norway Spruce (Picea abies) and m ...

Abstract:
... 7-Hydroxymatairesinol (7-HMR) is a plant lignan abundant in various concentrations in plant foods. The objective of this study was to test HMRLignan™, a purified form of 7-HMR, and the corresponding Picea abies extract (total extract P. abies; TEP) as dietary supplements on a background of a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic syndrome in mice and in the 3T3-L1 adipogenesis model. Mice, 3 weeks ...

Abstract:
... Seed orchards function as the primary source of high-quality seeds for reforestation in many European countries, but their seed yields can be severely reduced due to seed- and cone-feeding insects. We evaluated various parameters of pheromone-based mating disruption for control of the moths Cydia strobilella and Dioryctria abietella, which are major pests in European Picea abies seed orchards. We ...

Abstract:
... The North American lodgepole pine Pinus contorta has been planted on 660 000 ha in Sweden. We compared the performance of Ips typographus and Pityogenes chalcographus in storm‐felled and standing pheromone‐baited trees of the historical host species Norway spruce (Picea abies) and lodgepole pine. In the first summer after a storm, I. typographus colonized 0.2% and P. chalcographus colonized 2.4% o ...

Abstract:
... The bark beetle Polygraphus punctifrons (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a species that feeds on Norway spruce (Picea abies) and is found in the Northern parts of Europe and Russia. The release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by males and females of P. punctifrons when the beetles bore into spruce stem sections in a laboratory environment was studied using solid phase microextraction ( ...

Abstract:
... The larva and pupa of the saproxylic Euryommatus mariae Roger, 1857, the weevil species extremely rare in Europe, are described from Poland. It was reared from galleries in dead branches of a fallen spruce Picea abies. The larval morphology is compared with available larval descriptions of other genera of the supertribe Conoderitae, namely, the Palaearctic Coryssomerus, and the Nearctic Cylindroco ...

Three species of Polygraphus can be found in this region; Polygraphus poligraphus, Polygraphus punctifrons and Polygraphus subopacus. Efficient pheromone traps would facilitate further investigations of these species and ...

Abstract:
... Genetic variation and phenotypic stability in Norway spruce were studied based on provenances, families, and clones planted in trials at 12 sites in four Nordic countries. The families were generated in a factorial cross between 10 parents of Norwegian origin and 10 parents of Eastern European origin, and the clones were propagated from seedlings within 20 of the same families. Traits analyzed wer ...

Abstract:
... In the last decades, the structural and functional role of standing dead trees and lying deadwood in forests has been widely recognized by scientific community and forest managers. However, a large amount of deadwood in forests can have negative impacts on recreational forests by reducing the aesthetic value and site attractiveness. The aims of the present study are to investigate whether deadwood ...
