  1. 1. Biodiversity patterns and the processes regulating them along elevation gradients in the Swedish mountains

    Författare :Johannes Måsviken; Love Dalén; Anne Bjorkman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; elevation gradients; spiders; insects; plants; latitude; altitude; alpha diversity; beta diversity; taxonomic diversity; phylogenetic diversity; functional diversity; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : Biodiversity describes the total variation of life and includes the taxonomic, genetic, and phenotypic differences among organisms. Variations of biodiversity in space and time may be driven by ecological, evolutionary, or neutral processes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Diversity Underfoot : Systematics and Biogeography of the Dictyostelid Social Amoebae

    Författare :Allison L Perrigo; Sandra Baldauf; Maria Romeralo; David Bass; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Amoeba; biogeography; cryptic species; dictyostelid; latitudinal gradient; multicellularity; protist; social amoeba; phylogenetics; systematics; new species; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

    Sammanfattning : Dictyostelids (Amoebozoa) are a group of social amoebae consisting of approximately 150 species, which are found in terrestrial habitats worldwide. They are divided into eight major clades based on molecular phylogeny, and within these clades are many species complexes. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Diversity of soil microbial communities: In the perspective of targeting functional genes

    Författare :Lokeshwaran Manoharan; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Soil; metagenomics; sequence capture; microbial communities; functional diversity; taxonomic diversity;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Intensive land use in agriculture can lead to higher loss of biodiversity in soils and subsequently carbon due to tillage and application of pesticides and fertilizers. The microbial communities are pivotal to ecosystem processes in soil such as nutrient cycling, soil formation and plant productivity and thus are affected by land use. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Soil microbial diversity in agriculture : Responses to land-use and extreme weather events

    Författare :Katja Kozjek; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; agriculture; drought; soil microbial communities; taxonomic diversity; functional diversity;

    Sammanfattning : Land-use intensification of agricultural soils and increased occurrence and intensity of extreme weather events like drought periods are two of the main threats responsible for soil biodiversity declines. These changes in soil biodiversity can alter ecosystem functions performed especially by soil microbial communities that could further contribute to those threats. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Charting Insect Diversity

    Författare :Dave Karlsson; Fredrik Ronquist; Torbjørn Ekrem; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; insect faunas; biological inventories; citizen science; DNA barcoding; morphotype barcoding; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Despite Sweden's rich legacy in entomology, a significant portion of its insect fauna remains poorly studied. Addressing this and other biodiversity knowledge gaps, the Swedish government unveiled the Swedish Taxonomy Initiative (STI) in 2002, with the ambitious goal of documenting and scientifically describing all multicellular species in the country.
