1. 1. How the sensory ecology of the bumblebee affects their functional traits

   Författare :Vun Wen Jie; Emily Baird; Mikael Carlsson; Martin How; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bumblebee; functional morphological traits; intraspecific differences; allometry; DRA; micro-CT; co-existence; Functional Zoomorphology; funktionell zoomorfologi;

   Sammanfattning : Morphological traits are important for trait-based ecological studies as they allow for the prediction of biodiversity across the biosphere. Currently, the predictive power of trait-based ecology is not often applied to terrestrial arthropods, even though they provide us with important agricultural, ecological, and cultural value.

3. 2. Factors Affecting the Distribution of Rocky-Shore Macroalgae on the Swedish Coast : Morphological, Physiological, Reproductive and Genetic Aspects

   Författare :Gustav Johansson; John Raven; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to examine factors affecting the distribution of macroalgal species both vertically (depth zonation) and geographically along the Baltic Sea salinity gradient. Interactions between the physical environment and basic biological traits of the algae are emphasised. LÄS MER

4. 3. A functional genomic investigation of an alternative life history strategy : The Alba polymorphism in Colias croceus

   Författare :Alyssa Woronik; Christopher Wheat; Antonia Monteiro; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; alternative life history strategy; butterfly wing color; Alba; Colias; color polymorphism; dimorphism; life history traits; physiology; lipidomics; genomics; pooled sequencing; phylogenomics; RNA-Seq; Pool-Seq; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : Life history traits affect the timing and pattern of maturation, reproduction, and survival during an organism’s lifecycle and are the major components influencing Darwinian fitness. Co-evolved patterns of these traits are known as life history strategies (LHS) and variation occurs between individuals, populations, and species. LÄS MER

5. 4. Biodiversity-ecosystem function in a willow biomass production system : tree productivity, litter decomposition and fungal community

   Författare :Stefanie Hoeber; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function is an important issue in ecology. Stands of Salix (willow) are suitable model systems to study this relationship. Salix and other crops are mainly grown in monoculture in agricultural systems. LÄS MER

7. 5. Understanding evolutionary novelty through female-limited polymorphisms

   Författare :Kalle Tunström; Christopher W. Wheat; Rhonda R. Snook; Patrícia Beldade; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

   Sammanfattning : Understanding how novel traits evolve is a central question in evolutionary biology. However, unraveling the complex genetic and developmental mechanisms underlying trait innovation can be challenging, especially when the trait evolved a long time ago. LÄS MER
