1. Neuropeptide signaling in insects : peptide binding sites, tachykinin receptors and SNAP-25
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Insects as exotoxicological tools : uptake, accumulation, biomagnification and excretion of heavy metals in terrestrial insects
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Temperature variation in time and space, and its effects on insects
Sammanfattning : Nature is variable. Unfortunately, compressed representations of this variable world, like averages, are often lossy and insufficient for ecological purposes. This is particularly true for temperature variation, which organisms typically respond to in a nonlinear way. LÄS MER
4. Micro- and macroevolutionary aspects of body size diversification and thermal adaptation in insects
Sammanfattning : Body size and body temperature are the two most important traits in biology. In this thesis I show how these twovariables have shaped the evolution of insects over the last 300 million years. LÄS MER
5. Ommatidial adaptations for vision in nocturnal insects
Sammanfattning : Nocturnal vision is a demanding task for insects with small eyes. As it gets dimmer the noise imposed by the stochastic nature of photon arrival makes vision unreliable. Despite this, there are quite a number of animal species that are active at night and apparently see well. LÄS MER
