1. The theme of the feline-and-prey in archaic Greek art : classification, distribution, origin, iconographical context
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Predator-prey interactions in freshwater systems: The importance of chemical communication
Sammanfattning : Predator released chemical cues provide a valuable source of information to prey organisms that can be used to alter their behaviour in order to reduce predation risk. In this thesis, I have examined under what circumstances chemical cues may be used by prey, and if prey discriminate between different cues. LÄS MER
3. The different roles of crayfish in benthic food webs
Sammanfattning : I show that crayfish consume detritus, algae, macrophytes, and an array of invertebrates. Crayfish were found to reduce invertebrate densities. However, prey mobility seemed to be a key factor regulating the strength of interactions between crayfish and prey. LÄS MER
4. The prey perspective - behaviour and appearance in a world of predators
Sammanfattning : The varieties of prey phenotypes that have been revealed in nature are vast and many of these phenotypes are the result of the selective force that predators have had on prey traits in the past. Even within species and populations we see variations due to both differences in the selection forces they live under but also due to individual trait variation. LÄS MER
5. Foraging behaviour in benthivorous fish
Sammanfattning : The foraging ability of an organism is essential since it affects various traits, e.g. growth, reproduction effort, social status and, ultimately, fitness. LÄS MER
