The fauna of surface-active spiders was studied in 12 cereal fields, with two types of subcrop, and in four young (17 months old) perennial leys (grass/clover). The fields were located in the southeastern (A), central (B) and western (C) parts of Norway. In total, 3945 spiders were caught from May to September 2004, using pitfall traps. Linyphidae was the most numerous family, with Erigone atra Blackwall 1833 representing 56% of all trapped individuals. The total numbers of spider species and individuals were significantly higher in leys than in barley at sites where both crops were present (sites A and B), with on average 11 species and 93 specimens in barley, and 20 species and 393 specimens in leys. Thus, young perennial leys appeared to provide a better habitat for spiders than did cereal fields, as has previously been documented for older perennial leys. The use of multi-species crops instead of a single crop species undersown in cereals, tended to result in higher spider species diversity, but it did not influence the total number of specimens. An ordination (DCA) showed a clustering of the spider fauna from the same site, but no clear separation between main crop types (ley vs. barley) was apparent. The main crops, subcrops, and the surrounding environs of the cropped field seem to affect the diversity and abundance of spiders.

The mating system ofCapercaillie has been referred to as “exploded lek” because displaying males are spaced farther apart than on classical leks. However, inter-male distances and spacing behavior rarely have been quantified. In 2009–2011, we examined the spatial relationships of males on two leks in southeastern Norway by GPS satellite telemetry. Largely exclusive display territories (median 2 ha) surrounded the mating site, but the males spent most of the time displaying on smaller, well-defined display sites (median 182 m2) within their territories. When on their display sites, neighboring birds were spaced 64–212 m apart; decreasing to a minimum during the time of mating. Occasionally, males made long exploratory excursions (median 243 m) across the territories of neighbors, sometimes interacting with them at close distance (< 10m). During daytime, males resided solitarily in radially extending ranges within 1 km of the lek center, commuting to the lek either in the evening or morning by walking or flying, leaving in the morning mostly by walking. The distance from the lek center to night roosting trees and daytime resting areas decreased during the mating season. With interacting males and a spatial arrangement in-between that of classical leks and dispersed polygyny, the term “exploded lek” seems appropriate for the mating system of Capercaillie.

The potential of ×Festulolium as a forage species for Nordic conditions was investigated by comparing Norwegian candivars (LpFp-T, LmFp-T, LpFp-D-N, LpFp-D-UK) differing in parental origin and ploidy level with commercial cultivars of ×Festulolium (Hykor, Felopa), the parental species perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis L.), and timothy (Phleum pratense L.). Plant development was observed as leaf:stem ratio and standardised development stage, and dry matter yield and digestibility were studied throughout two consecutive harvest seasons (2007 and 2008) as an effect of taking the first cut at four maturity stages, namely: 1) vegetative growth, 2) early heading), 3) heading and 4) anthesis, and then consecutive cuts throughout the season. Observations were made at two locations in Norway (61°N, 67°N). Leaf:stem ratio and standardised development stage were affected by maturity stage, and the loloid types of ×Festulolium (Felopa and the candivars) grouped between the parental species as to developmental pattern. The most extreme changes across maturity stages 1-4 in first cut were seen in the festucoid type Hykor (smallest) and in timothy (largest). Across maturity stages 2 and 3, for two years Hykor obtained higher dry matter yield than the other entries, but overall digestible dry matter yield was equal in Hykor and LpFp-T due to the better digestibility in LpFp-T. The lower dry matter yield obtained in ×Festulolium Felopa, the diploid candivars and LmFp-T was mainly due to winter damages. Consistency was found between the locations for the entries investigated. For Nordic growing conditions, in which winter hardiness is required for commercial cultivars, the amphitetraploid breeding approach of perennial ryegrass and meadow fescue should be pursued. It is the parental origin of the candivar LpFp-T, which was comparable to Hykor, the best of the commercial ×Festulolium cultivars, and performed better than the cultivars of the parental species.
