1. The effects of crayfish on interactions in freshwater benthic communities
Sammanfattning : This thesis examines how freshwater crayfish affect community interactions in benthic food webs. I have mainly studied the influence of the introduced signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) on littoral communities, but also the influence of the native noble crayfish (Astacus astacus).

2. Food Web Ecology -- individual life-histories and ecological processes shape complex communities
Sammanfattning : This thesis sets out a food web framework for size-structured populations. The framework enables an ecological approach to food web modelling as the individual life-history from birth, through maturation, and ultimately death is explicitly resolved with the use of bioenergetics based on individual body size.

3. Ontogenetic bottlenecks : effects on intraguild predation systems and ecosystem efficiency
Sammanfattning : Size-dependent differences between individuals in size-structured organisms have fundamental effect on population and community dynamics. Intraguild predation (IGP) is one specifically interesting constellation that often arises when two size-structured populations interact. LÄS MER
4. Omnivore population dynamics and trophic behavior : applications for sustainable willow short rotation coppice
Sammanfattning : Plant traits can mediate the interactions between plant feeding trophic omnivores and their herbivore prey via density effects and by altering the omnivore’s trophic behavior (plant vs. prey feeding). LÄS MER
