1. 1. Causes and consequences of individual variation in energy turnover rates

   Författare :Johan Nilsson; Evolutionär ekologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; energy turnover rate; metabolic rate; BMR; RMR; life history; oxidative stress; carotenoids; incubation; Parus palustris; Cyanistes caeruleus; Taeniopygia guttata;

   Sammanfattning : Individual energy turnover rates can vary remarkably, even within a species. In this thesis I study the causes and consequences of this pronounced variation and show that individual energy turnover rates can be affected by a large number of factors. LÄS MER

3. 2. The effects of temperature on avian physiology, behavior and development

   Författare :Andreas Nord; Evolutionär ekologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; clutch size; Cyanistes caeruleus; ecological immunology; energy expenditure; fever; Ficedula hypoleuca; heterothermy; hypothermia; incubation; life history; metabolic rate; Parus major; RMR; Taeniopygia guttata; temperature; winter;

   Sammanfattning : Temperature is a property of profound matter in all aspects of animal life, affecting both individual energy budgets and the environments in which animals reside. Thus, a proper understanding of the effects of temperature variation is instrumental in understanding not only animal form and function, but also the structure and dynamics of wild populations.

4. 3. Speciation and Metabolic rate : Insights from an avian hybrid zone

   Författare :S. Eryn McFarlane; Anna Qvarnström; Jenny Boughman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resting metabolic rate; life history; hybridization; speciation; reproductive isolation; Ficedula flycatcher; Biologi med inriktning mot zooekologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Ecology;

   Sammanfattning : The role of divergent climate adaptation in speciation has received surprisingly little scientific attention. My dissertation research focused on how resting metabolic rate (RMR) relates to the build up of prezygotic and postzygotic isolation in a natural Ficedula flycatcher hybrid zone. LÄS MER

5. 4. Nutrition and energy expenditure in women with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

   Författare :Nighat Farooqi; Thomas Sandström; Frode Slinde; Lena Håglin; Tommy Cederholm; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Energy expenditure and women; Women and COPD; Nutrition and women; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : AimThe overall objective of this thesis was to increase the knowledge and validate methods for assessment of total daily energy expenditure (TEE), energy requirement and energy intake (EI) in women with COPD. We also investigated the relationship of BMI with clinical characteristics of COPD in a population-based study. LÄS MER

7. 5. Genetic epidemiological aspects of obesity and related traits. Human studies in Swedish and North-American cohorts

   Författare :Peter Jacobson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Obesity; candidate genes; metabolic syndrome; resting metabolic rate; respiratory quotient; assortative mating;

   Sammanfattning : Aims: To investigate two obesity candidate genes, the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and the adiponectin hormone (APM1), by screening their genomic sequences. To search the human genome for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to resting metabolic rate (RMR), and respiratory quotient (RQ). LÄS MER
