  1. 1. Vibrational signals as indicators of soil fauna health? : A novel approach to environmental monitoring of ants

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

    Author : Joel Fransson Forsberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Vibrations; Formica ants; Vibrometer; Vibrational signals; Imidacloprid; Before-After-Control-Impact;

    Abstract : Soil fauna provides processes of crucial importance for ecosystem functions, but our ability to observe their actions often depend on destructive methods where the integrity of the studied environment (the soil) is compromised. In this study, I develop and test a new generation of environmental monitoring tools that utilize vibrations made by soil macrofauna to inform about their performance and health. READ MORE

  3. 2. Detecting Pollutants Using Vibrations : Laser Doppler Vibrometry as a Non-Invasive Soil Organism Health Monitoring Method

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

    Author : Kristoffer Wilson; [2023]
    Keywords : Vibrometer; Biotremology; Imidacloprid; Ants;

    Abstract : Due to a lack of in-situ methods capable of detecting sub-lethal effects of pollutants on soil organisms, many polluted environments are not identified prior to pollution-induced changes in the soil fauna. Therefore, there is a need to develop new non-invasive methods to measure the health of soil organisms. READ MORE

    Keywords : neonicotinoids; clothianidin; solitary bee; solitary wasp; risk assessment; pesticides; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Neonicotinoids, e.g. clothiandin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam, is the most used class of insecticides worldwide. However, lately, this group of insecticides has been subject to controversy. READ MORE

  6. 5. Obesogenic molecules breaching Caco-2 cells : intracellular regulation of tight junctions

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Tim Hagelby Edström; [2016]
    Keywords : Obesogens; Bisphenol A; Bisphenol AF; Imidacloprid; Tributyltin chloride; Caco-2; Tight junctions;

    Abstract : Impaired function of the human intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB) might allow for permeability of harmful substances, such as obesogens, which induce obesity and further implications. Tight junction (TJ) proteins are the key component for normal functions of the barrier. READ MORE
