More, better, faster
Ambio , – EDITORIAL More, better, faster Bo Söderström Published online: 31 March The indicators for measuring the performance of Ambio—A Journal of Human Environment all show positive trends. The journal impact factor continued its upward trend and reached for (Fig. 1a). Even more encouraging is that Ambio is reaching more readers every year: the number of full-text downloads of Ambio articles per year has an almost exponential increase (Fig. 1b). In , we will likely surpass more than 1 million downloads. Furthermore, the number of submissions has doubled since I started as editor-in-chief in (Fig. 1c). Besides an increase in number, we also experience an increase in the scientific quality of submissions. Ambio is truly an international journal and this is something we take great pride in. While there is a predominance of authors from Europe and North America, we also have a fair representation from at least two other continents in most regular issues (as shown by corresponding author country of origin). Ambio was one of the first scientific journals to introduce a double-blind review system in which both authors and reviewers are anonymous throughout th

Seasonal change in Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio territory quality - the role of nest predation
Ibis,
This paper examines the relationships between territory preference, fortplantnings- performance and more This paper examines the relationships between territory preference, fortplantnings- performance and nest predation in a Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio population breeding in rapidly changing farmland. Territory preference was measured by (a) the beställning of laying dates in territories within years and (b) territory occupation frequency over a five-year period. Seven environmental variables were tested but only the density of Sloe (Blackthorn) Prunus spinosa in territories was correlated positively with territory occupation frequency. Within years, Red-backed Shrikes started to breed earlier in territories with more Sloe, but fortplantnings- performance was not related consistently to territory differences. A high proportion of Sloe-rich territories was vacant each year. Thus, the observed negativ association between settlement beställning and amount of Sloe may reflect a seasonal change in habitat preference. Early breeders prefer Sloe-rich territories whereas late bi
