  1. 1. Oviposition cues as a tool for developing a new malaria control strategy

    Författare :Lynda Eneh; Anna-Karin Borg-Karlson; Willem Takken; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :Anopheles gambiae; Malaria; Oviposition; Volatile compounds; GC-MS; DGGE; Sorption; Fungi; Bacteria; Physicochemical parameters; Nut grass; Bermuda grass; Anopheles gambiae; Malaria; Äggläggning; Flyktiga ämnen; GC-MS; DGGE; Sorptionen; Svampar; Bakterier; Gräs; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Anopheles gambiae sensu lato mosquitoes are among the dominant malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa. However, not much is known about the oviposition behaviour of these species necessary for the development of malaria vector control strategies. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Reproduction and survival in the lesser spotted woodpecker. Effects of life history, mating system and age

    Författare :Ulf Wiktander; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Picoides minor; Dendrocopos minor; Picidae; polygyny; polyandry; parental care; breeding biology; altricial birds; birds; single-brooded birds; Animal ecology; Djurekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Over 9 years, 116 breeding attempts made by individually marked lesser spotted woodpeckers (Dendrocopos minor) were followed in a study area in southern Sweden. The home-range area decreased from on average 742 ha in winter to a defended territory of 103 ha prior to breeding and 43 ha during nesting. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Stress responses of Arabidopsis plants with a varying level of non-photochemical quenching

    Författare :Hanna Johansson Jänkänpää; Stefan Jansson; Barbara Demmig-Adams; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis; NPQ; PsbS; photosynthesis; field experiment; metabolomics; Physiological Botany; fysiologisk botanik; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : When light energy input exceeds the capacity for photosynthesis the plant need to dissipate the excess energy and this is done through non-photo-chemical quenching (NPQ). Photochemical quenching (photosynthesis), NPQ and fluorescence are three alternative faiths of excited chlorophylls. PsbS associates to photosystem II and is involved in NPQ. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Costs and Tactics in the Evolution of Reproductive Effort

    Författare :Ingemar Jönsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; capital breeding; Falco tinnunculus; body mass; DEE; reproductive effort; reproductive costs; income breeding; Animal ecology; Djurekologi;

    Sammanfattning : This study focuses on various aspects of costs of reproduction and the evolution of energetic breeding tactics. It emphasizes the distinction between demographic costs of reproduction expressed already before current offspring have reached independence (prebreeding costs), and costs expressed only after offspring independence (postbreeding costs).

  7. 5. Migration of Sea Turtles from Caribbean Costa Rica: Implications for Management

    Författare :Sebastian Troëng; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal ecology; conservation; predation; remigration; annual survival probability; mtDNA; satellite telemetry; tagging; Costa Rica; Tortuguero; endangered; migration; Djurekologi; sea turtles;

    Sammanfattning : Tortuguero National Park in Costa Rica hosts nesting by four species of highly migratory and endangered sea turtles (green, hawksbill, leatherback and loggerhead turtles). Sea turtle research at Tortuguero has been continuous since Dr. Archie Carr began studies in the 1950?s. LÄS MER
