1. Migratory behaviour of Baltic salmon (Salmo salar L.) : adaptive significance of annual cycles
Sammanfattning : This thesis evaluates the adaptive significance of annual cycles on the migratory behaviour of Baltic salmon (Salmo salar L.). The studies have included field experiments as well as laboratory studies gf maturity and migratory behaviour patterns of smolts and postsmolts mainly from the Angerman river population. LÄS MER
2. Stopover behaviour in migratory songbirds: timing, orientation and departures
Sammanfattning : Songbird migrants use stopovers between flight bouts to rest and refuel for the upcoming flights. Behaviours affecting where, when and how long to stay at stopover sites will affect how successful the overall migration will be, which has significant consequences for the overall fitness and mortality of the birds.

3. There and Back Again - nocturnal migratory behaviour of birds during spring and autumn
Sammanfattning : This dissertation explores the migratory behaviour of nocturnally migrating passerines and common swifts (Apus apus). Birds passing Lund (southern Sweden) and Abisko (northernmost Scandinavia) where sampled using tracking radar. The aim has been to investigate potential diverging strategies between spring and autumn migration. LÄS MER
4. Conservation of landlocked Atlantic salmon in a regulated river : Behaviour of migratory spawners and juveniles
Sammanfattning : Hydropower dams represent one of the major threats to river ecosystems today. The dams block migratory routes in many rivers, which is problematic for migratory fish species. Trap-and-transport may be an alternative to fish passage solutions, as a strategy to compensate for lost river connectivity. LÄS MER
5. Behaviour and metabolic rates of brown trout and Atlantic salmon : Influence of food, environment and social interactions
Sammanfattning : For Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta), the decision to migrate or when to migrate is believed to be influenced by the individual’s metabolic rate (MR) relative its food intake. As MR was expected to be related to behaviour, the potential links between behaviour and metabolic costs was studied. LÄS MER
