1. Behavioural energetics : acquisition and use of energy by hummingbirds
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Novel approaches in modeling of soil carbon : Upscaling theories and energetics
Sammanfattning : Soils contain more carbon (C) than terrestrial (above ground) and atmospheric carbon combined. Mismanagement of soil C could lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions, whereas practices leading to increased C storage would help mitigate climate change while improving soil fertility and ecological functions.

3. Water in and on ionic materials : Structure, energetics, and vibrations
Sammanfattning : Many chemical and physical phenomena in nature, in industrial processes, and in our daily lives take place at water/solid interfaces. The aim of this thesis is to further our knowledge of such processes at a molecular level. LÄS MER
4. Bird orientation: external cues and ecological factors
Sammanfattning : Birds are generally capable of accurate orientation. In this thesis I present studies about the external cues and the ecological factors that influences bird orientation. A multitude of environmental cues are used to select and maintain a proper direction. LÄS MER
5. Costs, benefits and constraints in the evolution of avian reproductive tactics: a study on the blue tit
Sammanfattning : In this study I have investigated the various factors influencing reproductive tactics among breeding blue tits (Parus caeruleus). The study was carried out in a nestbox-breeding population of marked individuals at the Revinge Area, outside Lund, southern Sweden. LÄS MER
