  1. 1. Evolving ecological communities in changing environments

    Författare :Jacob Johansson; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; adaptive dynamics; competition; community evolution; ecological communities; environmental change; evolutionary branching;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of theoretical studies of the evolutionary consequences of environmental change in ecological communities. Paper I and II are concerned with the origin of diversity, i.e. how a single lineage can split into two, under the influence of selection induced by competitive interactions (evolutionary branching).

  3. 2. Microbial communities : descriptors of environmental change in marine ecosystems

    Författare :Li Zhao; Agneta Andersson; Xiao-Ru Wang; Alexander Eiler; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In northern marginal seas, like the northern Baltic Sea, climate change will lead to many alterations, for example increased inflows of nutrients and dissolved organic matter (DOM). Nutrients and DOM are fundamental drivers shaping marine microbial communities, including both bacterial and phytoplankton populations. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Extinctions in Ecological Communities : direct and indirect effects of perturbation on biodiversity

    Författare :Alva Curtsdotter; Bo Ebenman; Peter Münger; Elisa Thébault; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In the dawning of what may become Earth’s 6th mass extinction the topic of this thesis, understanding extinction processes and what determines the magnitude of species loss, has become only too relevant. The number of known extinctions (~850) during the last centuries translates to extinction rates elevated above the background rate, matching those of previous mass extinction events. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Human Behaviour in Social-Ecological Systems : Insights from economic experiments and agent-based modelling

    Författare :Caroline Schill; Therese Lindahl; Anne-Sophie Crépin; Johan Colding; Carl Folke; Juan Camilo Cárdenas; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Human behaviour; Common-pool resources; Ecological complexity; Collective action; Sustainable resource use; Regime shifts; Thresholds; Uncertainty; Communication; Knowledge-sharing; Economic experiments; Laboratory and field experiments; Agent-based modelling; Complex adaptive systems; Social-ecological systems; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Sammanfattning : Progress towards sustainability requires changes in our individual and collective behaviour. Yet, our fundamental understanding of behaviour in relation to environmental change remains severely limited. LÄS MER
