  1. 1. Movement patterns and displacement of a soil insect

    Författare :Elna Nilsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; attraction; repellence; fatty acid; Ecology; Ekologi; alarm; autoregressive model; autocorrelation; random walk; Protaphorura armata; Collembola; migration; dispersal; movement; displacement;

    Sammanfattning : Movement and dispersal are important determinants of the spatial distribution and persistence of animal populations in a heterogeneous environment. I studied the small-scale movement pattern of a soil-living insect, Protaphorura armata (Collembola) by using a video-equipment. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Colonization processes of soil fauna and mycorrhizal fungi

    Författare :Dagmar Gormsen; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal ecology; abandonment; land use; ectomycorrhiza; arbuscular mycorrhiza; lumbricid earthworms; Acari; soil fauna; collembola; Djurekologi; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Colonization consists of two parts, a dispersal phase followed by establishment and reproduction at a new site. Dispersal behaviour influences survival and the access to resources and mates of individuals and is thus closely linked to an organism's fitness. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Springtails in space : factors structuring Collembola populations and communities, revealed by trait-based analyses

    Författare :Lina Ahlbäck Widenfalk; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The relative influence of environmental conditions, biotic interactions and dispersal limitation for community structure and diversity patterns is a reoccurring theme in community ecology. In studies of soil fauna communities, small-scale horizontal and vertical variations in environmental variables and biotic interactions have often been disregarded, despite these being key factors to understanding the diversity of soil fauna communities.

  5. 4. A song of ice and mud : Interactions of microbes with roots, fauna and carbon in warming permafrost-affected soils

    Författare :Sylvain Monteux; Ellen Dorrepaal; Frida Keuper; James T. Weedon; Joshua Schimel; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microbial communities; permafrost; functional limitations; rhizosphere; SOM decomposition; soil fauna; climate change; carbon dioxide;

    Sammanfattning : Permafrost-affected soils store a large quantity of soil organic matter (SOM) – ca. half of worldwide soil carbon – and currently undergo rapid and severe warming due to climate change. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The big picture from small landscapes : investigations of spatial patterns and processes using a model metacommunity

    Författare :Jens Åström; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Habitat fragmentation is a major current threat to natural environments. Still, fundamental questions of what influences ecological communities in spatially structured habitats are unanswered. In this thesis, microarthropods in moss patches were used in a model system, where both biotic and abiotic factors could be manipulated. LÄS MER
