  1. 11. Population biology and conservation of beetles and pseudoscorpions associated with hollow oaks

    Författare :Thomas Ranius; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systematic zoology; wood mould; tree hollow; pseudoscorpion; population variability; Osmoderma eremita; metapopulation; mark-recapture; habitat fragmentation; genetic structure; dispersal; beetle; computer simulation; taxonomy; zoogeography; Zoologisk systematik; djurgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : Many species associated with old trees are threatened, as this habitat has decreased severely in Europe during the last 200 years. In old oaks, hollows with wood mould often form in the trunks and these harbour a specialized fauna mainly consisting of beetles, flies and pseudoscorpions. LÄS MER

  2. 12. Hidden Creatures – systematics of the Euphorinae (Hymenoptera)

    Författare :Julia Stigenberg; Fredrik Ronquist; Johannes Bergsten; Andrew Austin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Parasitic wasps; Braconidae; Euphorinae; systematics; phylogeny; molecular taxonomy; cryptic species; evolution; host preferences; identification keys; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : Parasitic wasps constitute one of the last remaining frontiers in the charting of animal diversity. The Braconidae is the second most species-rich family of parasitic wasps; the world fauna has been estimated at 40 000 species and the Swedish fauna is believed to include a little more than 2 000 species, 1 200 of which are currently documented.

  3. 13. Taking a Bite out of Diversity - Taxonomy and systematics of biting midges

    Författare :Jonas Strandberg; Kjell Arne Johanson; Urban Olsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ceratopogonidae; Dasyhelea; barcoding; COI; phylogeny Sweden; Forcipomyia; Bezzia; Palpomyia; Degen1; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : The biting midges (family Ceratopogonidae) is one of the most species rich amongst the biting flies (Diptera) and has been recorded from most parts of the world. The species are mostly known for their capability to act as vectors for several important diseases, which have helped in shaping the focus to one of its genera, Culicoides Latreille, 1809. LÄS MER

  4. 14. Automated image-based taxon identification using deep learning and citizen-science contributions

    Författare :Miroslav Valan; Fredrik Ronquist; Serge Belongie; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : The sixth mass extinction is well under way, with biodiversity disappearing at unprecedented rates in terms of species richness and biomass. At the same time, given the currentpace, we would need the next two centuries to complete the inventory of life on Earthand this is only one of the necessary steps toward monitoring and conservation of species.

  5. 15. Molecules and morphology in Empidoidea (Diptera) : Phylogenetic analysis and taxonomical implications

    Författare :Emma Wahlberg; Kjell Arne Johanson; Thomas Pape; Jeffrey Cumming; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Empidoidea; Empididae; Hybotidae; phylogeny; taxonomy; systematics; molecular data; morphology; revision; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : The classification and evolutionary history of the superfamily Empidoidea (Diptera) have been far from straightforward subjects. Morphology based phylogenies of the superfamily have been unable to answer many questions raised by both systematists and biogeographers, as well as ecologists and ethologists, partly due to morphological modifications and adaptations difficult to interpret.
