1. Health at Work : The Relationship between Organizational Justice, Behavioral Responses, and Health
Sammanfattning : Bakgrund: Anställdas hälsa, individuella beteenden i ett organisatoriskt sammanhang och upplevd organisatorisk rättvisa är teoretiskt förenade av social utbytesteori, copingteori och teorier som beskriver konsekvenserna av social ojämlikhet. Empiriskt är förhållandet mer oklart. LÄS MER
2. Phenotypic and social effects on behavioural trade-offs in Eurasian perch
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
3. Correlated selection responses in animal domestication : the behavioural effects of a growth QTL in chickens
Sammanfattning : Studying animal domestication offers an opportunity to understand the mechanisms of evolution. Domestication is associated with a change in selection pressures; selection for production traits is introduced, and animals are faced with larger and denser social groups. LÄS MER
4. Behaviour under predation risk - antipredator strategies, behavioural syndromes and sex-specific responses in aquatic prey
Sammanfattning : In many natural ecosystems, predation is well recognized as a strong evolutionary force, and predator-mediated selection has been demonstrated to induce changes in prey morphology, life history and behaviour. In my thesis, I have focused on behavioural responses in aquatic prey under the risk of predation. LÄS MER
5. From wolf to dog: Behavioural evolution during domestication
Sammanfattning : Biologists since Darwin have recognized that domestication, where species are selected to live in human-controlled environments, exerts strong selection on organisms and dramatically impacts their evolutionary trajectories. Across domesticated mammal species, characteristic morphological, physiological and behavioural changes occur simultaneously, as correlated traits, a phenomenon known as the domestication syndrome.
