1. Interaction strength and keystone species in model food webs
Sammanfattning : Ecological communities are often exposed to different kind of disturbances of varied magnitude. The response to disturbances can be affected by, among other factors, the strength of interactions between species within the community. LÄS MER
2. Interaction strength and responses of ecological communities to disturbances
Sammanfattning : Ecological communities are continuously exposed to natural or anthropogenic disturbances of varied intensity and frequency. The way communities respond to disturbances can depend on various factors, such as number of species, structural characteristics of the community, stability properties, species characteristics and the nature of the disturbance.

3. Food webs and the distribution of body sizes
Sammanfattning : Many ecologically relevant life-history traits of organisms, (such as generation time and ingestion rate) are significantly correlated to body size. Since these individual and species characteristics can affect the interactions between the species in a community, it is possible that the distribution of body sizes (in communities) can affect different properties of foodwebs as well.

4. The Finite Difference Methods for Multi-phase Free Boundary Problems
Sammanfattning : This thesis consist of an introduction and four research papers concerning numerical analysis for a certain class of free boundary problems. Paper I is devoted to the numerical analysis of the so-called two-phase membrane problem. Projected Gauss-Seidel method is constructed. LÄS MER
5. Community Robustness Analysis : Theoretical Approaches to Identifying Keystone Structures in Ecological Communities
Sammanfattning : Most of the world’s ecosystems suffer from stress caused by human activities such as habitat destruction, fragmentation, overexploitation of species and climate change. These factors affect the reproduction and/or survival of individual species as well as interactions between species in ecological communities. LÄS MER
