  1. 6. Temperature- and body size scaling: effects on individuals, populations and food webs

    Författare :Max Lindmark; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Climate warming impacts organisms directly through changes in their physiology. Empirical evidence suggest warming has already led to changes in growth, body size, population and community size-structure of natural populations. However, it is difficult to understand the underlying mechanisms from observational data alone. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Effects of size-dependent predation and competition on population and community dynamics

    Författare :Karin Nilsson; Lennart Persson; Volker Rudolf; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :size-structure; cannibalism; resource competition; predation; emergent facilitation; population regulation; population dynamics; overcompensation; density-dependence; cycles; zooekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Most animals grow substantially during their lifetime and change in competitive ability, predatory capacity and their susceptibility to predation as they grow. This thesis addresses the implications of this on regulation and dynamics within populations as well as between population interactions. LÄS MER

  4. 8. The decline of great Arctic charr in Lake Vättern : empirical and theoretical analyses of suggested causes

    Författare :Malin Setzer; Tomas Jonsson; Bo Ebenman; Mark C. Emmerson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Naturvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Human activity is affecting species and ecosystems all over the world. In aquatic systems negative trends can be seen for many fish stocks and potential consequences of this, for ecosystem structure and functions, are of particular concern. LÄS MER
