    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

  3. 17. Analysis of behavioural changes of wildlife in urban environments:comparison of observable patterns amongst species groups

    University essay from

    Author : Natalia Rubio Mantilla; [2022]
    Keywords : urban areas; wildlife; behaviour; changes; mammals; birds;

    Abstract : Through a literature review I have carried out an analysis of wildlife behavioural changes in urban areas. The aim is to determine the behavioural changes that wild species have undergone. This study has been carried out for species belonging to the orders Carnivora, Chiroptera, Rodentia, Passeriformes, Falconiformes and Strigiformes. READ MORE

  4. 18. Factors influencing the white-backed woodpeckers' (Dendrocopos leucotos) choice of feeding trees in the Umeå region

    Author : Elias Rankka; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Saving the white-backed woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos) from extinction in Sweden has been an ongoing struggle for decades. Despite this, there have been remarkably few studies on the species ecology in Sweden, especially in the north. READ MORE

  5. 19. Direct and indirect effects of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) herbivory on an island population of Chequered blue butterfly (Scolitantides orion).

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Alexandra Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Scolitantides orion; Chequered blue butterfly; oviposition; oviposition behaviour; Indirect and direct effects; herbivory;

    Abstract : Herbivory by ungulates is a known agent of disturbance in many ecological systems around the globe. At high abundances and through a selective foraging behaviour herbivory may inflict significant direct and indirect effects on local plant and animal communities. READ MORE

  6. 20. Providing live black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae to laying hens (Gallus gallus domesticus) using three different methods : effects on foraging behaviour and production parameters

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Ronja Lindell; [2021]
    Keywords : laying hens; black soldier fly larvae; environmental enrichment; foraging; feather pecking;

    Abstract : Feather pecking is a major welfare issue in commercial egg production. Feather pecking is thought to be a form of re-directed foraging pecking behaviour. When hens are deprived of the necessary conditions to perform foraging behaviour the risk of developing feather pecking increases. READ MORE
