1. 1. Domestication effects on foraging behaviour : consequences for adaptability in chickens

   Författare :Christina Lindqvist; Per Jensen; Björn Forkman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Etologi; chicken; domestication effects; behaviour; red jungle fowl RJF ; contrafreeloading CFL ; egg production; Ethnology; Etnologi;

   Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis was to study domestication effects on foraging behaviour in chickens and to investigate whether and how domestication and selection for high production have influenced adaptability in chickens. Two domestic strains of chickens (egg layers and meat type chickens) and their wild ancestor, the red jungle fowl (RJF) were compared in different test situations with respect to foraging behaviour and adaptability.

4. 3. Characterisation of social behaviour in red junglefowl and White leghorn laying hens : phenotypic and genetic studies

   Författare :Johanna Väisänen; Harry Blokhuis; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Red junglefowl; social behaviour; behaviour tests; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

   Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis was, by using two model strains of chicken, red junglefowl and White Leghorn layer, to study differences in social behaviour of the species that could be derived from domestication and production related selection processes. The social phenotype characterisation was done to be able to further study the association of the social differences to specific production related traits as well as to certain genome areas in intercross and backcross lines generated from these two parental populations.

5. 4. Driving it home! Exploring and enhancing the adoption of eco-driving

   Författare :Helena Strömberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pro-environmental behaviour; exploratory approach; behaviour change; interventions; eco-driving;

   Sammanfattning : One strategy to reduce the environmental impact of the transport sector is to increase the adoption of eco-driving among both professional and private drivers. Attempts to introduce eco-driving have though had varying success, and many questions remain to be answered. LÄS MER

7. 5. Creating space for action - Supporting behaviour change by making sustainable transport opportunities available in the world and in the mind

   Författare :Helena Strömberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; behaviour change; sustainable mobility; user-centred design; action space; travel behaviour; everyday transport;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the work presented in this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge of how to create conditions for individuals to change their travel behaviour in a more sustainable direction. Earlier studies point to potential contributions through exploration of the individual’s process of behaviour change, addressing the role of the design of the transport system, as well as investigating the potential effects of enabling structural interventions within the transport system.
