1. 1. Assessment and Study Strategies : A study among Rwandan Students in Higher Education

   Författare :Innocent Sebasaza Mugisha; Sven Andersson; Elisabeth Ahlstrand; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Higher Education; students’ conceptions of assessment; cue-seeking; studying the teacher; individual and group study strategies; alternative modes of assessment; Högre utbildning; studenters uppfattningar av bedömning; ‘cue-seeking’; individ- och gruppstrategier; alternativa bedömningsformer; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this study is to gain understanding of students’ experiences of assessment and the study strategies they adopt in the context of Higher Education in Rwanda. The study is governed by questions on how students conceive their experiences with assessment in their courses, how they determine study strategies, and how they reflect on alternative ways of assessment.

3. 2. Comparative studies of cognitive abilities in the Paridae : Evidence from laboratory studies

   Författare :Utku Urhan; Evolutionär ekologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Comparative cognition; Spatial memory; Food hoarding; Observational spatial memory; motor self-regulation; Cognitive sex differences; foraging strategies;

   Sammanfattning : The Paridae (tits, titmice and chickadees) is a bird family consisting of both food hoarding and non-hoarding species. Many studies have been conducted on birds that are considered to be cognitively advanced, such as parrots and corvids, whereas much less is known about these small passerines. LÄS MER

4. 3. Behaviour under predation risk - antipredator strategies, behavioural syndromes and sex-specific responses in aquatic prey

   Författare :Sanna Harris; Biodiversitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phenotypic integration; Poecilia reticulata; Asellus aquaticus; behavioural syndromes; chemical cues; predation; antipredator behaviour;

   Sammanfattning : In many natural ecosystems, predation is well recognized as a strong evolutionary force, and predator-mediated selection has been demonstrated to induce changes in prey morphology, life history and behaviour. In my thesis, I have focused on behavioural responses in aquatic prey under the risk of predation. LÄS MER

5. 4. The Problem of Partial Migration - the Case of the Blue Tit

   Författare :Anna Nilsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Naturvetenskap; Natural science; Djurekologi; Animal ecology; Ekologi; Ecology; weather; personality; partial migration; metabolic rate; evolution of migration; dominance; Cyanistes caeruleus; climate change; blue tit; behavioural strategies; bird migration;

   Sammanfattning : In the evolution of bird migration, partial migration is assumed to be an important intermediate step between migration and residency. Partial migration is characterised by the existence of both migratory and resident individuals in a given population. LÄS MER

7. 5. Stress in chickens : Effects of domestication and early experience on behaviour and welfare

   Författare :Maria Ericsson; Per Jensen; Linda Keeling; Bjarne Braastad; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : The domestication is the process where animals have adapted to human conditions. A prerequisite for domestication is tame behaviour towards humans and subsequently, selection for other desirable traits took place which led to changes in several behavioural and physiological parameters.
