   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Asil Ajaj; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata is a sickle-shaped freshwater green microalga that is normally found in unicellular form. It is the best known and most frequently used species of ecotoxicological bioindicator because of its high growth rate and sensitivity to toxicants. READ MORE

3. 2. Using the AudioMoth - a novel passive acoustic monitoring technology - to monitor bat diversity in a rewilded landscape

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

   Author : Koen Pronk; [2022]
   Keywords : passive acoustic monitoring; bioindicator; chiroptera; audioMoth; trophic rewilding;

   Abstract : Ecosystem restoration through the reintroduction of grazers is gaining interest across Europe. Large herbivores are associated with landscape heterogeneity, restoration of trophic cascades and biodiversity. READ MORE

4. 3. Bats in Urban Sweden : A multiple regression analysis of bats’ relationship to urbanization

   University essay from Södertörns högskola/Miljövetenskap

   Author : Nils Andersson Skog; [2021]
   Keywords : Urban ecology; Insectivorous bats; Chiroptera; Species composition; Bioindicator; Sustainable development;

   Abstract : Human development continues to use up more physical space in the natural world, threatening the natural habitats of many organisms. To combat the loss of biodiversity science needs to explore what landscape features are important for different organisms so that we can incorporate these into the modern environment. READ MORE

5. 4. Sex and tissue specific DNA methylation patterns in the house sparrow (Passer domesticus)

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Yuming Shi; [2021]
   Keywords : DNA methylation; tissue-specific pattern; sex-specific pattern; house sparrow;

   Abstract : DNA methylation patterns are sex and tissue specific in many species, yet many studies useblood samples, due to its accessibility, to establish links between the DNA methylation anddifferent phenotypes. This raises the question of whether DNA methylation in blood samplesreflect the DNA methylation pattern in other tissues that are more relevant to the phenotypebeing studied. READ MORE

6. 5. Transcriptomic analysis on freshwater mussels for identification of potential biomarkers to monitor water ecosystems

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Md Mehedi Hasan Joyon; [2020]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Stress-specific expression of cellular proteins in responses to exogenous exposure and resulting physiological alteration provides important insight into the field of ecological research. Due to its habitat, feeding, lifestyle and physiologic properties, mussel has become an important indicative measure of aquatic environment pollution in order to assess effect of these pollution in aquatic life.
