  1. 1. Intraspecific divergence and phenotypic plasticity in behavioural profiles of teleost fish

    Författare :Johanna Axling; Svante Winberg; Johan Höjesjö; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; animal personality; phenotypic plasticity; Salmo salar; Danio rerio; activity; boldness; aggression.; Biology with specialization in Comparative Physiology; Biologi med inriktning mot jämförande fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Behavioural differences between and within individuals can greatly affect the outcome of behavioural studies. In addition, behavioural interactions between individuals can compromise the health and welfare of captive fish. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Defence on Demand : A physiological perspective on phenotypic plasticity in anti-predator traits

    Författare :Jerker Vinterstare; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phenotypic plasticity; inducible defences; stress physiology; cortisol; immune function; trade-offs; sexual dimorphism; crucian carp; visual ecology; predator-prey interactions; POMC pro-opiomelanocortin ; colour change; eco-immunology; Anti-predator defences; Inducible morphological defence; Phenotypic plasticity; Stress physiology; Cortisol; Immune function; Crucian carp; Predator-prey interactions; Trade-offs; Sexual dimorphism; POMC; Pro-opiomelanocortin; Visual ecology; Eye evolution; Melanin; Eco-immunology; Pace-of-life; Behavioural plasticity;

    Sammanfattning : Almost all species face some degree of predation risk, and, hence, evolution has produced a plethora of anti-predator defences. However, anti-predator strategies require resources, and the prevailing risk of becoming prey is influenced by many factors and rarely constant across time and space. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Spring Phenology of Butterflies : The role of seasonal variation in life-cycle regulation

    Författare :Sandra Stålhandske; Olof Leimar; Karl Gotthard; Wolf Blanckenhorn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phenology; Life cycle regulation; Phenotypic plasticity; Local adaptation; Butterflies; Diapause; Pupal development; Anthocharis cardamines; Herbivore – host plant interaction; etologi; Ethology;

    Sammanfattning : Animals and plants in temperate regions must adapt their life cycle to pronounced seasonal variation. The research effort that has gone into studying these cyclical life history events, or phenological traits, has increased greatly in recent decades. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Dynamics of the aphid-ant mutualism

    Författare :Karolina Tegelaar; Olof Leimar; Judith Bronstein; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mutualism; transgenerational; aphids; aphid-ant; conflict of interest; E -β-farnesene; phenotypic plasticity; predation risk; wing induction; maternal effect; reproductive investment; embryo size; etologi; Ethology;

    Sammanfattning : An appreciation of the role of mutualism is essential when studying ecology and evolution in most ecosystems. Information covering aspects of mutualistic interactions can serve as a complement to the somewhat one-sided perspective from the 1950’s and 60’s that is used when teaching biology. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Phenotypic and social effects on behavioural trade-offs in Eurasian perch

    Författare :Gustav Hellström; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Trading between conflicting demands is a fundamental part in how animals interact with its environment and social surrounding. Knowledge of what factors that are affecting behavioural decisions is central in our understanding of animal adaptation and ecology. LÄS MER
