1. Deliberating value : On the theory and practice of valuation of nature from neoclassical to ecological economics
Sammanfattning : This thesis is about whether it is a good idea to place monetary value on nature, to remedy the fact that we treat it as having no particular value to us humans, although it clearly has. The thesis is based on five research papers that can be said to position themselves on opposite sides in the debate on monetisation of nature. LÄS MER
2. Rättsligt skydd av biologisk mångfald : etiska perspektiv och normkonflikter
Sammanfattning : En förutsättning för att vi ska uppnå en hållbar utveckling är att vi bevarar den biologiska mångfalden, vilken bland annat hotas av införsel och spridning av invasiva främmande arter. Ett viktigt instrument för att skydda den biologiska mångfalden utgörs av de rättsliga ramar som satts upp på internationell, EU- och nationell nivå. LÄS MER
3. The threat from non indigenous species - ecosystem vulnerability, global distribution and co-occurrence with other major threats
Sammanfattning : We live in a globalised world where people and goods travel large distances. Various species are brought along on these journeys, intentionally or as hitchhikers. Some of these species establish populations in regions to which they could not have spread without human assistance, and where they are considered to be non indigenous species (NIS). LÄS MER
4. D-arabinitol in the diagnosis of invasive candidiasis

5. Ecological interactions in human modified landscapes : Landscape dependent remedies for the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem services
Sammanfattning : Modern agricultural practices have led to an intensification of the agricultural landscape which has negatively affected both biodiversity and the ecosystem services it provides. In my thesis I have used ecological theory of optimal foraging to try and explain how landscape structure, landscape composition and agricultural management can explain the loss of biodiversity and how remedies can efficiently be implemented.
