Winter dormancy reduces or inhibits totally the growth ability of buds. Dormancy release and budburst in Scandinavian Betula pendula Roth. and B. pubescens Ehrh. ecotypes were studied in controlled environments. There was a gradual decline in the heat-sum requirement for budburst with increasing chilling time. Two main clines in time of dormancy release appeared in ecotypes of different geographic origin, a latitudinal cline and a coastal-inland cline in which the duration of dormancy increased southwards and towards the coast. In addition, dormancy was later alleviated in high-altitude than in lowland B. pubescens ecotypes. In late autumn, after 44 chilling days, time to budburst at 15C was less in plants chilled at 0C than in plants chilled at 10C, indicating that 0C was most effective for dormancy release. In January, after 105 chilling days, however, dormancy release was completed, and budburst was earliest in plants chilled at 10C. At this stage there were no detectable differences in effectiveness between fluctuating and corresponding constant temperatures (6 to 21C) in promoting growth and budburst in B. pubescens. Long photoperiods significantly reduced time to budburst in partly dormant buds, but had no effect when dormancy was fully released

A short survey shows a lack of continuity in research on the dipteran family Milichiidae in Norway. One common species has several records from the last century, while little else is found before recent time and the new material presented in this article. The number of Norwegian species in Milichiidae is hereby raised to five, and in addition one possible new species. Comparisons with species numbers in neighbouring countries give an indication that still new species for Norway may be found. Rearing habitats for Neophyllomyza acyglossa (Villeneuve, 1920) and the possible new species Leptometopa sp. are presented for the first time.
