  1. 1. Oligolectic bee species. An understudied group in Global Change impacts?

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Monika Böttcher; [2024-03-19]
    Keywords : Solitary bee; global change; oligolecty; red list; taxonomy;

    Abstract : Global change is considered the primary cause of the decline in bees worldwide, posing a significant threat to crucial pollination services they provide, carrying negative economic and ecological implications. Despite the extensive research conducted on the responses of bee communities to anthropogenic impacts, the focus has predominantly been on commercially interesting bees. READ MORE

  2. 2. The effect of the COVID-19 lockdown on the spatial ecology of moose in an area with high recreational activity

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Maximilian Dörr; [2024]
    Keywords : Moose; Alces alces; habitat selection; tourism; human disturbance; activity; movement; speed; seasons; Covid-19; pandemic;

    Abstract : In diverse landscapes, the coexistence of wildlife habitat requirements and human land use often leads to conflicts, posing challenges for sustainable species management. Recreational activities, especially in sparsely populated areas, frequently disturb wildlife behavior, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of anthropogenic impacts on habitats. READ MORE

  3. 3. Impact of nitrogen availability and nitrogen structural composition on fungal enzymatic activity and growth : how nutrient availability governs response and development of three saprotrophic Basidiomycetes

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Bella Strid; [2024]
    Keywords : nitrogen; tannins; condensed tannins; MnP; manganese peroxidase; peptidase; saprotrophic basidiomycetes;

    Abstract : Fungi excrete a wide variety of extracellular enzymes to scavenge for nutrients, such as the often scarce yet essential nutrient nitrogen. All fungi produce highly specialized hydrolytic enzymes, e.g. peptidases, that depolymerize organic molecules. READ MORE

  4. 4. Geomorphic change along the Rönne river : Effects caused by dams

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

    Author : Adam Scheér; [2024]
    Keywords : fluvial morphology; dams; GIS; Rönne river;

    Abstract : Many rivers can shape their path through the landscape with erosion and deposition where the riverbed and riverbanks both shape the direction and energy of the flow. The river flow can erode the riverbanks and create meanders which is when the river creates bends in its path that become increasingly curved. READ MORE

  5. 5. Headfirst into shallow water - Wetland restoration and its contribution to the Habitats Directive

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Växtekologi och evolution; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Elin Brandt Korall; [2024]
    Keywords : Wetlands; GIS; Restoration; Rewetting; Ecology; LONA; Habitats Directive; Natura 2000; Nature conservation; Våtmarker; GIS; Geografiska informationssystem; Restaurering; Återvätning; LONA; Art- och Habitatsdirektivet; Natura 2000; Naturvård;

    Abstract : Located in the borderland between aquatic and terrestrial environments, the wetlands cover a wide spectrum of habitats and enable living standards for a great variety of organisms. Although important habitats, a great extent of the original wetlands have disappeared in Europe and Sweden due to anthropogenic disturbances. READ MORE
