  1. 6. Nest-site attendance and foraging ecology of the Northern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) on the Faroe Islands. Is the Northern Fulmar a useful indicator of ecosystem productivity and pollution?

    Författare :Johannis Danielsen; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nest-site attendance; foraging ecology; indicator species; Fulmar; Fulmarus glacialis; nocturnal activity; ecosystem productivity; pollution; mesopelagic fish;

    Sammanfattning : The Northern Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) is one of the most abundant seabirds in the Northern Hemisphere and the most abundant seabird on the Faroe Islands. Except from a few sporadic observations up until the 1950´s no study has focused on this species on the Faroe Islands. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Ecological connectivity in East African seascapes

    Författare :Charlotte Berkström; Nils Kautsky; Susan S. Bell; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fish; functional group; food-web interactions; nursery; coral; seagrass; mangrove; landscape ecology; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Sammanfattning : Coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangroves constitute a complex mosaic of habitats referred to as the tropical seascape. Great gaps exist in the knowledge of how these systems are interconnected. This thesis sets out to examine ecological connectivity, i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Modeling Collective Decision-Making in Animal Groups

    Författare :Boris Granovskiy; David J. T. Sumpter; Mary R. Myerscough; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; collective animal behavior; collective intelligence; swarm intelligence; wisdom of crowds; mathematical modeling; stochastic modeling; agent-based modeling; Markov chain models;

    Sammanfattning : Many animal groups benefit from making decisions collectively. For example, colonies of many ant species are able to select the best possible nest to move into without every ant needing to visit each available nest site. LÄS MER

  5. 9. The development of resource polymorphism – Effects of diet, predation risk and population dynamical feedbacks

    Författare :Jens Andersson; Lennart Persson; André M. De Roos; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :body shape; diet; geometric morphometrics; phenotypic plasticity; population dynamics; predation risk; resource polymorphism; size structured populations;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the evolution of individuals within a species adapted to utilize specific resources, i.e. resource polymorphism. Although a well-known phenomenon, the understanding of the mechanisms behind is not complete. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Causes and Consequences of Impulsivity in Red Junglefowl

    Författare :Laura Garnham; Hanne Lovlie; Per Jensen; Neeltje Boogert; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Behaviour; Cognition; Gallus gallus; Impulsivity; Inhibitory control; Red junglefowl;

    Sammanfattning : Throughout the animal kingdom, animals vary in cognition (i.e., how they acquire, process, store, and act on environmental information). Yet, the causes and consequences of this variation are currently unclear. LÄS MER
