1. 1. Systematics and the evolution of flower symmetry of Posoqueria (Rubiaceae)

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

   Author : Sebastián Giraldo Gómez; [2023-06-14]
   Keywords : Posoquerieae; Cinchonoideae; Ixoroideae; Dialypetalanthoideae; Angiosperms 353; target capture; Hybpiper; Pollen Catapult Mechanism.;

   Abstract : The genus Posoqueria is a Neotropical group of shrubs and trees in the coffee family Rubiaceae. Posoqueria is phylogenetically poorly understood and presents several internal taxonomical difficulties. READ MORE

3. 2. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Franklin Lee Harris; [2023]
   Keywords : microbial ecology; soil; carbon dynamics; high latitudes; climate change; moisture stress; isotopes; respiration; trait based ecology; soil microbes; Environmental Changes in High Latitudes EnCHIL ; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. READ MORE

4. 3. 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

5. 4. Germination dynamics of soybean cultivars in relation to common spring germinating weeds

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

   Author : Sofie Pålsson Andersson; [2021]
   Keywords : soybean; cardinal temperatures; base temperature; cold tolerance; germination; Nemoral climatic zone; weeds;

   Abstract : Soybeans are one the most traded crops in the world with main production areas in north and south America. Europe only produces 5 % of its domestic need for soybean. In the Nemoral zone of northern Europe no commercial cultivation of soybeans exists today. READ MORE

6. 5. Differences in plant trait distribution in semi-natural grassland habitats of Sweden

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Viivi Vepsäläinen; [2020]
   Keywords : Plant traits; semi-natural grassland habitats; landscape openness; landscape ecology;

   Abstract : Habitat type has been suggested to be a major factor contributing to differencesin plant trait distribution of grassland habitats. Land use changes in agricultural landscapes have affected the available habitats and the dispersal ability of plants, which may effect plant trait diversity of agricultural landscapes. READ MORE
