Determining oviposition preferences to inform population reinforcement of the specialist chequered blue butterfly (Scolitantides orion) by Aivars Dunskis, Julia Stigenberg, Jon Ågren, Nina Sletvold

“…In a Swedish island population of the red‐listed chequered blue butterfly (Scolitantides orion), we characterised oviposition preference by documenting whether the presence and abundance of eggs (i) increased with size and local density of its host plant, orpine (Hylotelephium telephium), and (ii) was associated with nectar plant abundance, degree of shading, and ground cover composition within small and large circular plots (1 m vs. 5 m radius) around focal plants. …”

Filling the gaps: Original chronologies of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) living trees in the French PyreneesDataverse by Mélanie Saulnier, Vincent Labbas, Roberta D’Andréa, Sylvain Burri, Laurent Larrieu, Sylvain Morvan, Nicolas Martin, Caroline Scotti-Saintagne, Frédéric Jean, Nicolas Poirier, Vanessa Py-Saragaglia

“…In each stand, we established three to five circular plots of 1 ha each. Depending on the main objective of the research projects, trees were selected from the largest, dominant or co-dominant individuals according to a pre-established protocol, as for the BENDYS project [1] (full description in Py-Saragaglia et al., 2020), or to represent the full range of diameter at breast height (DBH) available in the 1 ha circular plots. …”
