  1. 1. Managing testbeds for accelerating a sustainable transformation of the agri-food system : a multiple case study about the management of two Swedish testbeds for digital farming technologies

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Elin von Liewen Wistrand; [2022]
    Keywords : Digital farming technologies; Agriculture 4.0; Testbeds; Transitions theory; Multilevel Perspective; Strategic niche management;

    Abstract : Digital farming technologies are predicted to contribute with solutions to some of the grand challenges the agri-food sector is currently facing, such as feeding a growing population, ensuring food safety and improving sustainability performance in food production. While testbeds are identified as important sites where digital technologies are developed, a paucity of research considers the management of testbeds for digital technologies in the food and farming sector.

  3. 2. Diversification of predators in multi-trophic communities: A trait-based theoretical approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Julio Antonio Ayala Lopez; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : One of the main challenges in ecology and evolutionary biology is to understand how biodiversity emerges and is maintained, given the complexity of ecological and evolutionary processes combined. Understanding how multi-trophic interactions occur from a theoretical perspective is highly relevant for our understanding of diversification in complex ecosystems. READ MORE

  4. 3. The Behavioural Ecology of a Potentially Undescribed Morph of Saki Monkey (genus Pithecia) in a Highly Diverse Primate Community

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ekologi och genetik; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Emily Lehtonen; [2017]
    Keywords : Amazon; behavioural ecology; niche differentiation; Peru; Pithecia; primates; saki monkey;

    Abstract : The importance of tropical forests for global diversity and ecosystem function is well established in scientific literature, but is undermined by gaps in our knowledge of tropical ecosystems and species. Primates play important functional roles in these ecosystems, and despite constituting one of the most well-recognised taxa in the world, many species remain poorly studied. READ MORE

  5. 4. Habitat selection of the European bison

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Carl Lehto; [2015]
    Keywords : Euroepan bison; Bison bonasus; habitat selection; refugee species; resource selection function;

    Abstract : Skogens konung eller präriens prins: var hör visenten hemma egentligen? Visenten är Europas tyngsta nu levande landdjur. Då en vuxen tjur kan nå nästan två meter i mankhöjd och väga upp mot ett ton så är det sannerligen en uppseendeväckande best. READ MORE

  6. 5. Adaptive trait utility in the feeding apparatus of European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) : Relationships between feeding morphology and maximum and minimum prey size in the diet of whitefish

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

    Author : Emma Andersson; [2015]
    Keywords : trait utility; gill rakers; adaptive radiation; morphological adaptation; feeding niche;

    Abstract : Whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) populations diverge into morphs that differ in body size along a benthic-limnetic axis and throughout the depth of the water column. This process is assumedly initiated by the presence of northern pike (Esox lucius) and is followed by morphological adaptations to available food resources. READ MORE
