  1. 1. Biodiversity patterns and the processes regulating them along elevation gradients in the Swedish mountains

    Författare :Johannes Måsviken; Love Dalén; Anne Bjorkman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; elevation gradients; spiders; insects; plants; latitude; altitude; alpha diversity; beta diversity; taxonomic diversity; phylogenetic diversity; functional diversity; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : Biodiversity describes the total variation of life and includes the taxonomic, genetic, and phenotypic differences among organisms. Variations of biodiversity in space and time may be driven by ecological, evolutionary, or neutral processes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Baltic shore-lands facing climate change

    Författare :Alma Strandmark; Sara Cousins; Martin Entling; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arthropod diversity; Baltic shores; Beetles; Climate change; Energy flows; Marine inflow; Sea level rise; Shore ecosystems; Species distribution; Spiders; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis provides new insight concerning drivers behind differences in arthropod diversity and abundance in Baltic shore ecosystems and how the arthropod communities might be affected when the conditions in the Baltic Sea are altered due to climate change.  The focus has been on climate related changes that are unique for coastal ecosystems, especially sea level rise and changes in the inflow of marine nutrients.

  4. 3. Studies of Genome Diversity in Bartonella Populations : A journey through cats, mice, men and lice

    Författare :Hillevi Lina Lindroos; Siv G. E. Andersson; Richard Birtles; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Biology; Bartonella; genome content; genome rearrangement; gene expression; phage; microarray; PFGE; MLST; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Bacteria of the genus Bartonella inhabit the red blood cells of many mammals, including humans, and are transmitted by blood-sucking arthropod vectors. Different species of Bartonella are associated with different mammalian host species, to which they have adapted and normally do not cause any symptoms. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Local and landscape-level impacts of agricultural intensification on arthropod communities and their interaction networks

    Författare :Guillermo Aguilera Nuñez; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Arthropods play a central role in agricultural landscapes being responsible for the delivery of many ecosystem services such as pollination, biological pest control, and nutrient cycling. But the current global decline of arthropods is intensified by habitat modification, loss and fragmentation, pesticide use and other intensive management practices. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Arthropods in Constructed Wetlands : Ecosystem Processes and Riparian Biodiversity

    Författare :David Åhlén; Peter Hambäck; Julien Pétillon; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; constructed wetlands; arthropods; community ecology; spiders; insects; hydrology; shoreline properties; primary production; greenhouse gasses; nutrients; grazing management; Ecology and Evolution; ekologi och evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Constructed wetlands in the agricultural landscape are known to harbor immense arthropod biodiversity, however, riparian arthropod communities have often been neglected compared to aquatic communities when studying environmental responses. These wetlands are highly productive, but vary in form and composition based on its purpose, which influences the communities that inhabit them. LÄS MER
