  1. 1. Body patterning and cognition in cephalopods - a literature review

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Georgina Chu; [2023]
    Keywords : cephalopods; octopus; body patterning; colour alteration; chromatophores; pigment cells; cognition; learning and memory;

    Abstract : Cephalopods are a valuable model for studying the evolution of cognition due to their distinctive brain structure, organisation, and connectivity patterns compared to vertebrates. The development of large brains and behavioural complexities are believed to be triggered by evolutionary pressures stemming from factors like heightened predation, more demanding foraging conditions, and intense mating competition.

  3. 2. Effects of management and plant traits on tree-related microhabitats in second-growth stands of the Białowieża Forest

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Weronika Mysiak; [2022]
    Keywords : tree-related microhabitats; TreMs; Białowieża Forest; post-Century stands; second-growth forest;

    Abstract : The study presents research conducted on Tree-related Microhabitats (TreM) in managed stands and nearly unmanaged stands in the Białowieża Forest (BF). A TreM is an above-ground structure that creates substrate, site or place for forest-dwelling species, and could be an important tool for assessing the level of biodiversity. READ MORE

  4. 3. Gallringens effekter på botten- och fältskikt i grandominerad produktionsskog : en studie av hur störning kan påverka β-diversitet i Norrland och Svealand

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : William Jaktén Langert; Andreas Widell; [2020]
    Keywords : biodiversitet; bottenskikt; fältskikt; störning; gallring; boreal skog;

    Abstract : Den boreala skogens beståndsstruktur har historiskt primärt präglats av brand, vilket skapat en flerskiktad beståndsstruktur. Störning är därför en avgörande faktor för artmångfald i dessa ekosystem. READ MORE

  5. 4. Natural oak regeneration in response to selective cutting : restoration of temperate deciduous woodlands on abandoned agricultural land in Scandinavia

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Samuel Keith; [2020]
    Keywords : Light demanding species; selective cutting; restoration; ecosystem services; broadleaf dominated;

    Abstract : The natural regeneration of sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) L.) and pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) is largely uncertain across central Europe and Scandinavia. READ MORE

  6. 5. Succession patterns and the role of fire in long-term dynamics of a mixed deciduous stand in Białowieża Forest, Poland

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Andreea Petronela Spinu; [2018]
    Keywords : dendroecology; disturbance regime; forest history; fire history; regeneration of Pinus sylvestris L.; regeneration of Quercus robur L.; temperate lowland Tilio-Carpinetum forest; mesophication; fire cessation;

    Abstract : In temperate Europe, the ecological importance of fire is poorly understood, especially in the dynamics of forests with high share of broadleaved tree species. The aim of this thesis was to explore the role of fire in a 43-ha mixed-deciduous forest stand in Białowieża Forest, NE Poland. READ MORE
