  1. 1. Glacier-Ocean Interactions in the Arctic : Contemporary calving and frontal melt from field observations, remote sensing, and numerical modelling

    Författare :Felicity Alice Holmes; Nina Kirchner; Benedict T. I. Reinardy; Riko Noormets; Jason Briner; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Glacier-ocean interactions; Arctic; Calving; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Sammanfattning : Globally, glaciers are losing mass as a result of the changing climate, with this mass loss having a considerable societal impact through rising sea levels. Glaciers which terminate in the oceans are particularly vulnerable to changing external conditions as a result of high sensitivity at their marine margins. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Risk assessment and contest behaviour in the Cichlid fish Nannacara anomala

    Författare :Olle Brick; Felicity A. Huntingford; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; zoologi; Zoology;

    Sammanfattning : The risk of predation is an important factor for our understanding of animal behaviour in general. This thesis investigates the influence of predation risk on fighting behaviour in the cichlid fish Nannacara anomala. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Physiological and Environmental Processes Influencing Growth Strategies in Amphibian Larvae

    Författare :Emma Dahl; Anssi Laurila; Felicity Huntingford; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; growth; growth strategies; amphibians; latitudinal gradient; growth hormone GH ; corticosterone CORT ; breeding phenology; compensatory growth; compensatory strategies; Biology; Biologi; Biologi med inriktning mot populationsbiologi; Biology with specialization in Population Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Cost and benefits of high individual growth rates are likely to vary across different environments leading to geographic differentiation in growth strategies. In ectotherms, habitats constrained by short growing seasons favour rapid growth and development leading to adaptive latitudinal clines in these traits. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Physical activity in patients with heart failure : motivations, self-efficacy and the potential of exergaming

    Författare :Leonie Klompstra; Tiny Jaarsma; Anna Strömberg; Felicity Astin; Linköpings universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Background: Adherence to recommendations for physical activity is low in patients with heart failure (HF). It is essential to explore to what extent and why patients with HF are physically active. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Behaviour and metabolic rates of brown trout and Atlantic salmon : Influence of food, environment and social interactions

    Författare :Linnea Lans; Larry Greenberg; Eva Bergman; Felicity Huntingford; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Salmo trutta; Salmo salar; behaviour; metabolic rates; Biology; Biologi;

    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
