   Sammanfattning : In cases where human and wildlife are co-using the same geographical areas and resources, management issues often get complex and stakeholder conflicts are common. The Icelandic harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) population is rapidly decreasing, but direct culling of seals still occurs. LÄS MER

3. 2. Harbour seals (Phoca Vitulina) and tourists in Iceland : Who´s watching who?

   Sammanfattning : Wildlife tourism is at the moment a fast growing sector in the tourism industry. Therefore, there is a need for balancing the protecting of wildlife with the right of tourists and operators to use nature as a resource. Mutual exchange and acceptance of research results between biological- and tourism research has until recently been scarce. LÄS MER

4. 3. Comparative analysis of the thermogenic protein UCP1 across the mammalian phylogeny
