  1. 1. Rarity in boreal stream: patterns, causes and consequences

    Författare :Per-Ola Hoffsten; Bo W. Svensson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Central Sweden; site occupancy; dispersal limitation; natural disturbances; recolonization; flight-morphology; metapopulation; habitat stability; spring specialists; Crunoecia irrorata; niche limitation; Isogenus nubecula; nestedness; longitudinal distribution; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; zooekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Patterns of site occupancy among boreal stream insects were studied in central Sweden with focus on sparsely distributed species and the role of dispersal and niche limitations.In the study of dispersal limitation, I found that effects of an extraordinarily harsh winter in small to medium-sized streams were strongest in sites located in small streams and far from lake outlets.

  3. 2. Biodiversity and Species Extinctions in Model Food Webs

    Författare :Charlotte Borrvall; Bo Ebenman; Owen Petchey; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; food webs; redundancy; relaxation time; stability; stochasticity; species deletion; species extinction; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Many of the earth’s ecosystems are experiencing large species losses due to human impacts such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, climate change, species invasions, pollution, and overfishing. Due to the complex interactions between species in food webs the extinction of one species could lead to a cascade of further extinctions and hence cause dramatic changes in species composition and ecosystem processes.

  4. 3. How transient interactions in the crowded cytosol affect protein mobility and stability

    Författare :Sarah Leeb; Mikael Oliveberg; Magnus Wolf-Watz; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diffusive transient interactions; macromolecular crowding; protein stability; in-cell NMR; protein evolution; Biophysics; biofysik;

    Sammanfattning : Most biochemical reactions have evolved in crowded intracellular environments. However, the complexity of intracellular environments is often neglected in structural or functional studies of proteins. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Ecological systems in space: From islands to contiguous landscapes

    Författare :Ankit Vikrant; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ecosystem stability; metacommunity; Metapopulation; community assembly; species area relationships; complex ecological systems;

    Sammanfattning : Dispersal and interaction networks underlie many ecological systems, often dictating spatio-temporal dynamics as well as emergent patterns. Dispersal has implications for establishment for distinct subpopulations of individual species as well as for the emergence of universal spatial patterns and varied community level structures.

  7. 5. Urban Climate and Air Pollution in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso

    Författare :Jenny Lindén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sub-Saharan Africa; Sahel; semi arid; nocturnal cooling; urban vegetation; evening evaporative cooling; cooling rate; atmospheric stability; thermal wind; carbon monoxide; particulate matter; road dust; exposure differences;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Africa has recently been singled out by UN Habitat as the fastest urbanizing continent in the world. The most extreme case was found in the Sahelian city of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, where the population is expected to almost double over the next ten years. LÄS MER
