  1. 1. The bzzzt of frirends. Interspecific competition in Arctic plants for pollination services.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Malin Olsson; [2023-06-27]
    Keywords : the Arctic; pollinator networks; competition; autonomous selfing; Arktis; pollinationsnätverk; konkurrens; autonom självpollinering;

    Abstract : The Arctic has a harsh environment that is challenging for the flora and fauna that inhabits the region. The ruling abiotic factors of the region results is a low species richness that creates a potential challenge for the region’s plant species. READ MORE

  3. 2. Modelling the effects of substituting pollinators in decline

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Axel Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : pollinators; plants; mutualism; competition; equilibrium populations; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : While pollination is essential for many plant species and ecosystem functions, pollinator populations worldwide are declining. This decline is largely due to abiotic changes in the environment: climate change and other anthropogenic impacts, such as pesticides and land use change. READ MORE

  4. 3. Companion crops in winter oilseed rape : effects on nitrogen concentration, biomass, and prevalence of weeds at the end of autumn growth

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Author : Stina Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : biomass; companion crops; intercropping; legumes; nitrogen concentration; organic cultivation; weeds; winter oilseed rape;

    Abstract : Intercropping can be used as a management system to promote higher yield as well as less weeds,diseases, and insect damage. Legumes are a commonly used companion crop (CC) in intercropping due to the benefit of nitrogen (N) fixation. READ MORE

  5. 4. Sharing space with a larger relative : examining interspecific effects of fallow deer on roe deer performance

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : John-Christophe Hessler Frelinckx; [2023]
    Keywords : roe deer; fallow deer; interspecific competition; population densities;

    Abstract : Interspecific competition of some form is a part of life for most species across the world. For some species it can be part of their evolutionary history over many thousands of years, while for others it is a more recent experience, as is the case of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and fallow deer (Dama dama), in Scandinavia.

  6. 5. Wild boar and roe deer in conflict? : an analysis of interspecific interactions under different wild boar densities

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Nina Eileen Long; [2023]
    Keywords : feeding displacement; generalized additive models; interference competition; wild boar; roe deer;

    Abstract : Roe deer and wild boar are both highly successful species of cervid found across much of Europe, and while similarities exist between them, to what extent do wild boar impact the daily activity pattern of roe deer at feeding sites? While a few studies explore interspecific interactions between ungulate species in Sweden, only a little research has been done on how wild boar and roe deer interact. This study aims to minimize the gap in knowledge surrounding these two species and the way they interact. READ MORE
