  4. 3. Brain morphology and behavioural variation in relation to habitat and predation risk in minnows (Phoxinus phoxinus)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Limnologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Marina Gallego González; [2022]
    Keywords : brain size; Ecology; environmental complexity; European minnow; fish; geometric morphometrics; morphological divergence; phenotypic plasticity; schooling.;

    Abstract : So far, research on inter- and intraspecific teleost brain plasticity across different freshwater environments has been widely conducted. However, insights of brain morphological variation on social and predator avoidance behaviours are lacking. READ MORE

  5. 4. Sympatric Divergence in Whitefish Dwarfs : An investigation of phenotype-environment correlations in whitefish dwarfs

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

    Author : Olivia Eriksson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recent studies have found populations of European Whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) to be under the process of divergence induced by a predator (pike, Esox lucius). This has caused whitefish to diverge into similar ecotypes but in separate lakes. READ MORE

  6. 5. Modular design for a product family ofaesthetic medical laser devices
