The strontium content of Finnish foods was analyzed and the average daily intake of strontium estimated according to national food consumption statistics. The average intake was 1.9 mg of Sr/d/person, which is well within the range of intakes found in other industrialized countries. The most important sources were dairy products (35%), and vegetables and fruits (32%). The strontium contents of foods showed a highly significant correlation with their calcium contents. No special problem was evident in dietary strontium in Finland.

Myxomatosis, caused by myxoma virus (MYXV), is a fatal disease of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). It has a worldwide distribution and has become an endemic disease throughout Europe since its introduction into the rabbit population in 1950. This study describes the first outbreak caused by MYXV in Finland in summer 2020.

Marine pollution management requires identifying all sources of contaminants, yet shipping's role in marine contamination remains unexplored. To address this gap, we investigated shipping contribution to water and air pollutant loads in the Northern Adriatic Sea in 2018 and under two future scenarios. The approach integrated (i) modelled data of shipping-related emissions, (ii) load from tributaries, and (iii) land-based emissions to the atmosphere.

The hoarding behaviour of animals has evolved to reduce starvation risk when food resources are scarce, but effects of food limitation on survival of hoarding animals is poorly understood. Eurasian pygmy owls (Glaucidium passerinum) hoard small mammals and birds in natural cavities and nest boxes in late autumn for later use in the following winter. We studied the relative influence of the food biomass in hoards of pygmy owls on their over-winter and over-summer apparent survival.
