| Typically built in a conifer, often near cones or knots or on an old cone base, the nest can easily be mistaken for a cone. |
| The warmer, drier climate has also helped cause massive outbreaks of spruce bark beetle and mountain pine beetle in the northern conifer forests. |
| These sites were chosen based on elevation, aspect, accessibility and presence of conifer canopy. |
| The meandering path was littered with conifer branches and layered with a thick carpet of fresh golden straw. |
| The Cambrian mountains, almost overwhelmed by conifer plantations, are growing a new kind of forest. |
| Thousands of sporangia were also collected on a moss covered decaying conifer log on a ground site at night with the use of a flashlight. |
