  1. 1. INDIVIDUAL TRAIT MATCHING OF BUMBLEBEES (BOMBUS) AND FLOWERS ALONG AN ENVIRONMENTAL GRADIENT

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Johan Per Michael Svedin; [2022]
    Keywords : Arctic climate change; Bombus; Flower morphology; Plant-pollinator trait-matching;

    Abstract : Insect pollinators serve a critical role in maintaining plant biodiversity and are especially susceptible to changes within their environment. To study the possible effects of seasonal variation in temperature, as well as climatic temperature increase on the plant-pollinator community, the relationship between bumblebee and flowering plant traits along an elevational gradient, representing warming-induced changes in plant community, were examined.

  4. 3. The role of wood ants (Formica rufa) in the Arctic tundra and how climate change may alter this role

    University essay from

    Author : Michael Meijer; [2020]
    Keywords : Wood ants; ants; mounds; climate change; arctic tundra; ecosystem; ecology; vegetation; arthropods;

    Abstract : In the Arctic tundra, wood ants play an important ecological role in aerating the soil, cycling nutrients, for seed dispersal and, as biological control by preying on forest pest insects during outbreaks. The increase in temperature, caused by climate change, is positively associated with ant abundance. READ MORE

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Alexander Morell; [2019]
    Keywords : tillgänglighetsanpassning; skyddad natur; naturupplevelser; konflikt;

    Abstract : I Sverige saknas idag tydliga exempel på längre leder i högfjällsmiljöer som är tillgänglighetsanpassade för människor med nedsatt rörelseförmåga. Uppfattningen att det råder en konflikt mellan tillgänglighet och kvaliteten av naturupplevelser försvårar dock motiveringen till anläggningen av sådana leder, särskilt i skyddad natur. READ MORE
