1. Temperature variation in time and space, and its effects on insects
Sammanfattning : Nature is variable. Unfortunately, compressed representations of this variable world, like averages, are often lossy and insufficient for ecological purposes. This is particularly true for temperature variation, which organisms typically respond to in a nonlinear way. LÄS MER
2. Thermal adaptation along a latitudinal gradient in damselflies
Sammanfattning : Understanding how temperature affects biological systems is a central question in ecology and evolutionary biology. Anthropogenic climate change adds urgency to this topic, as the demise or success of species under climate change is expected to depend on how temperature affects important aspects of organismal performance, such as growth, development, survival and reproduction.

3. From behaviour to genes: anti-predator responses of brown trout (Salmo trutta) under winter conditions
Sammanfattning : Temperature has major effects on the performance of poikilotherms. In encounters with predators, low winter temperatures constrain predator detection and escape capabilities in prey fishes. LÄS MER
4. Production and emission of CO2 in two unproductive lakes in northern Sweden
Sammanfattning : Unproductive lakes are one of few natural landscape compartments with net release of carbon to the atmosphere. Lakes also generally decrease the net terrestrial carbon uptake, since most of the CO2 production in unproductive lakes are derived from organic carbon produced on land (e.g. in forests). LÄS MER
5. Nesting ecology of the grass snake (Natrix natrix) and its implications for conservation
Sammanfattning : The onset of agriculture about 12,000 years ago has had a major influence on the biodiversity of plants and animals. Unfortunately, the rapid changes in agricultural practices that has occurred in recent times has negatively affected many farmland species. LÄS MER
