  1. 21. Ecological disturbances: the good, the bad and the ugly

    Författare :J. Robin Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Disturbance; Diversity;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract. This thesis focuses on the definitions, characterizations and quantifications of ecological disturbances, as well as hypotheses on their impacts on biological communities. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Bacterioplankton in the light of seasonality and environmental drivers

    Författare :Carina Bunse; Jarone Pinhassi; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; marine bacteria; marine microbiology; seasonal succession; ocean acidification; proteorhodopsin; photoheterotrophy; microbial time series; Akvatisk ekologi; Aquatic Ecology; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science;

    Sammanfattning : Bacterioplankton are keystone organisms in marine ecosystems. They are important for element cycles, by transforming dissolved organic carbon and other nutrients. Bacterioplankton community composition and productivity rates change in surface waters over spatial and temporal scales. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Community Assembly and Spatial Ecology of Saproxylic Coleoptera

    Författare :Jonas Victorsson; Mats Björklund; Stefan Ås; Anne Magurran; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Terrestrial ecology; Terrestisk ekologi; Animal Ecology; zooekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Community assembly is the process deciding inclusion/exclusion of species in a developing community. Spatial ecology integrates spatial habitat factors with local biotic interactions within a given patch. I used standardized tree bolts (0.35-1 m long) to sample saproxylic (wood living) beetles in natural and managed forest types. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Plant-climate interactions over historical and geological time

    Författare :Sharon A Cowling; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; atmospheric CO2; plant evolution; palaeoecology; plant-climate interactions; vegetation modelling; Plant ecology; Växtekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Data-model comparisons are a useful approach to elucidating the relative influence of past climate change on vegetation dynamics over various spatial global, regional, stand) and temporal (historical, geological) scales. Comparisons between changes in tree species abundance reconstructed from pollen and simulated from a forest gap model, for example, indicate that based solely on climate change over the past 1500 years, southern Scandinavian forests should be co-dominated by Tilia and Fagus.

  7. 25. Species distribution models : ecological applications for management of biodiversity

    Författare :Simon Hallstan; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Species distribution models are a group of methods often used to estimate consequences of global change, to assess ecological status and for other ecological applications. The main idea behind species distribution models is that the geographical distributions of species can, to a large part, be explained by environmental factors and that species distributions therefore can be predicted in time or space.
