1. Approaches to Species Delineation in Anamorphic (mitosporic) Fungi : A Study on Two Extreme Cases
Sammanfattning : Since the beginning of mycology, studies of species concept in fungi have been mainly based on morphology, partially due to the history of mycology as part of botany. Current advances in biochemical and molecular research have provided mycologists with powerful tools that can be used for delineation of fungal taxa. LÄS MER
2. Interactions between plants, microbes and insects
Sammanfattning : Plants interact with an astonishing diversity of insects and microorganisms. Both above- and belowground, plants are attacked by herbivores and pathogens, and interact with mutualists such as pollinating insects and beneficial microorganisms. LÄS MER
3. Population biology of the clonal plant Ranunculus lingua
Sammanfattning : The scope of this thesis was to identify, describe and quantify important life-history traits for the pseudoannual aquatic plant Ranunculus lingua in different ecological settings, by comparing populations from geographically marginal vs. central habitats. LÄS MER
4. The hidden half of the meadow : Interactions between drought, soil carbon, roots and soil microbial communities
Sammanfattning : Soil is a hidden ecosystem which harbours plant roots and countless microorganisms, vital for sustaining life aboveground. These belowground communities provide essential ecosystem services like soil stabilisation and organic matter decomposition. LÄS MER
5. Fungal and bacterial contributions to decomposition in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems
Sammanfattning : Microbial decomposers process a great majority of net primary production in the biosphere and regulate carbon (C) and nutrient cycling. Microbial communities are extremely diverse and often disregarded from global C-cycling models, but one strategy to overcome this challenge is to focus on the major decomposer groups: fungi and bacteria.
