16. Intraspecific divergence and phenotypic plasticity in behavioural profiles of teleost fish
Sammanfattning : Behavioural differences between and within individuals can greatly affect the outcome of behavioural studies. In addition, behavioural interactions between individuals can compromise the health and welfare of captive fish. LÄS MER
17. Vigilance & Invisibility : Care in technologically intense environments
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the relationship between technology and caring in technologically intense environments. The overall aim was to uncover the meaning of care in those environments as experienced by patients and caregivers. LÄS MER
18. Dynamics of inbreeding and genetic rescue in a small population
Sammanfattning : Isolation at small population size can reduce individual fitness and impede population growth caused by inbreeding and genetic drift (i.e. inbreeding depression). Inbreeding depression can however be circumvented by gene flow from unrelated individuals through masking of recessive deleterious alleles and contribute to population persistence (i. LÄS MER
19. Survival of the Tamest : The Domesticated Phenotype in Red Junglefowl Selected for Tameness
Sammanfattning : Early animal domestication was probably associated with reduced fear of humans. Domestication is a process in which animals adapt to humans and the captive environment provided by humans. Selection on tameness as the only trait has previously been found to generate changes in other phenotypes in different animal species. LÄS MER
20. Impacts of urbanisation on birds : Disentangling the effects of multiple pollutants on avian behaviour and physiology
Sammanfattning : Anthropogenic pollution is a pervasive feature of urbanisation, reaching into ecosystems worldwide and posing novel challenges to wildlife. Not surprisingly, differences in behaviour, and physiology, have been found between urban and rural populations. LÄS MER
