    Sammanfattning : When lumping the notions of “status” and “consumption” together, people often think of expensive brands, conspicuous luxury, bling-bling and spectacular extravaganza.

  4. 8. Seasonal change in defensive coloration in a shieldbug

    Författare :Aleksandra I. Johansen; Gabriella Gamberale-Stille; Birgitta S. Tullberg; Graeme Ruxton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Shield bug; colour change; protective coloration; cryptic; aposematic; behavioural change; etologi; Ethology;

    Sammanfattning : Protective coloration such as aposematism and crypsis occurs in many insects but only a few species alter their defensive strategy during the same instar. We hypothesize the adult shield bug Graphosoma lineatum with an alternating black and non-melanised longitudinal striation exhibit such a change in defensive coloration. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Nature-inspired passive flow control using various coatings and appendages

    Författare :Ugis Lacis; Shervin Bagheri; Christophe Eloy; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flow control; passive appendage; surface coating; pressure drag; friction drag; Flödeskontroll; passiva bihang; ytbeläggning; tryckmotstånd; friktionsmotstånd;

    Sammanfattning : There is a wide variety of tails, fins, scales, riblets and surface coatings, which are used by motile animals in nature. Since organisms currently living on earth have gone through millions of years of evolution, one can expect that their design is optimal for their tasks, including locomotion. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Studies of fish responses to the antifoulant medetomidine

    Författare :Anna Lennquist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :antifouling; fish; medetomidine; ecotoxicology; biomarker;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Growth of marine organisms, fouling, on man-made constructions submerged in the water is regarded as a major problem. For vessels, fouling increases drag and thereby fuel consumption, wherefore antifouling paints are used. Traditionally, they contain toxic compounds, and several of these have unwanted effects in the environment. LÄS MER
