  1. 1. The use of regurgitated pellets from the great cormorant to detect the presence of the round goby

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Tim Dorup; [2023-08-07]
    Keywords : Invasive species; Regurgitated pellets; Great cormorant; Round goby; dPCR;

    Abstract : The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is an invasive alien species that poses one of the greatest threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services in Sweden today. The round goby originates from the Black Sea and Caspian Sea but has in recent decades rapidly spread with global shipping traffic to new areas in Europe and North America. READ MORE

  3. 2. How do rainfall patterns change microbial induced carbon dynamics in soil?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

    Author : Maria João Silva; [2023]
    Keywords : drying and rewetting; bacterial growth; fungal growth; annual crops; perennial crops; soil depth; climate change; biotechnology; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Climate change is changing the precipitation patterns around the globe, leading to more extreme weather events like severe drought and heavy rainfalls. These events are intrinsically related to soil moisture fluctuations, which strongly modulates carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems. READ MORE
