  1. 1. Behaviour of Pine Sawflies in Relation to Pheromone-Based Pest Management

    Författare :Fredrik Östrand; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal ecology; effective sampling area; mark-release-recapture; climate; longevity; sampling range; Symphyta; Hymenoptera; monitoring; dispersal; polyandry; mating disruption; integrated pest management; behaviour; sex pheromone; Neodiprion sertifer; Diprionidae; Djurekologi; Zoology; Zoologi; Silviculture; forestry; forestry technology; Skogsvetenskap; skogsbruk; skogsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Pine sawflies (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae) are severe pine defoliators. This thesis investigated sawfly behaviour related to the use of pheromones in integrated pest management, including monitoring with pheromone traps and mating disruption. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Conservation biology and genetic structure of fringe populations of the scarce heath butterfly in Sweden

    Författare :Anna Cassel; Volker Loeschcke; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; fragmentation; genetic structure; mobility; inbreeding; habitat requirements; Lepidoptera; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Conservation Biology; naturvårdsbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : During the past century, about 82% of meadows and pastures have been lost in Sweden, with negative consequences for their flora and fauna. An example is the scarce heath butterfly, which is one of the red-listed species threatened by such habitat loss through afforestation. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Population biology and conservation of beetles and pseudoscorpions associated with hollow oaks

    Författare :Thomas Ranius; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systematic zoology; wood mould; tree hollow; pseudoscorpion; population variability; Osmoderma eremita; metapopulation; mark-recapture; habitat fragmentation; genetic structure; dispersal; beetle; computer simulation; taxonomy; zoogeography; Zoologisk systematik; djurgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : Many species associated with old trees are threatened, as this habitat has decreased severely in Europe during the last 200 years. In old oaks, hollows with wood mould often form in the trunks and these harbour a specialized fauna mainly consisting of beetles, flies and pseudoscorpions. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Ecology and evolution of genetic and phenotypic variation in fritillary butterflies

    Författare :Daniela Polic; Anders Forsman; Marjo Saastamoinen; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Evolutionary Biology; Evolutionsbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding how eco-evolutionary processes and environmental variation shape different dimensions of biodiversity is a major goal in evolutionary biology and ecology, and essential for the successful protection of biological variation. In this thesis, I used fritillary butterflies as model organisms to explore and further understand the origin and dynamics of genetic and phenotypic variation at different hierarchical levels of organisation and across different spatial scales.

  7. 5. Insect Diversity in Changing Landscapes

    Författare :Markus Franzén; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; växtparasitologi; Entomologi; plant parasitology; Zoology; Zoologi; Entomology; Ekologi; Ecology; butterfly; bee; dispersal; extinction; Djurekologi; Animal ecology;

    Sammanfattning : During recent decades, concern about the loss of biodiversity has increased. To change this negative trend there is an urgent need for effective conservation measures and there are ample evidence that conservation of organisms without an understanding of their ecology and behaviour is impossible.
