  5. 14. Costs in the ecology and evolution of the vertebrate immune system

    Författare :Lars Råberg; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cost of resistance; ecological immunology; immunocompetence; Parus caeruleus; transgenic mice; Animal ecology; Djurekologi; blue tit; basal metabolic rate;

    Sammanfattning : A central assumption of theories of the ecology and evolution of immunological defence is that defence has not only benefits (in the form of resistance against parasites), but also costs. The aim of my studies was to investigate the nature and magnitude of costs of the vertebrate immune system, and to examine some of the consequences of these costs. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Environmental-flow assessments for current and future run-off in a large river system regulated for hydropower production

    Sammanfattning : In 2019, Sweden implemented legislative changes to renegotiate hydropower permits to both consider environmental rehabilitation and to ensure national supply of hydropower. This means that efforts for environmental rehabilitation of the 2,000 hydropower plants in Sweden need to be considered. LÄS MER
