1. 1. Diving Deep: Seabird foraging tactics and local prey field

   University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

   Author : Elin Andersson Sjöholm; [2024]
   Keywords : Common Guillemot; Uria aalge; Optimal Foraging theory; Hydroacoustic data; resource selection;

   Abstract : Foragers in patchy environments need to decide what patches to use and how to allocate their time between them. Optimal foraging theory describes these choices through the relationship between energy expenditure and energy gain. READ MORE

3. 2. Method development of flow cytometry analysis of yeast and lactic acid bacteria viability for alcohol fermentation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk mikrobiologi; Lunds universitet/Bioteknik

   Author : Megha Komahan; [2023]
   Keywords : Flow cytometry; yeast; lactic acid bacteria; fermentation; cell viability; applied microbiology; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The usage of yeast in conventional brewing techniques involving alcoholic fermentation is an age-old process. Analyzing the viability and obtaining physiological information regarding the microbial diversity of the fermentation samples plays a pivotal role in obtaining real-time information as well as developing a more efficient process design.

4. 3. BSF-colony management efficiency at a large scale fly larvae composting company in Kenya – A field study

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Hilda Anderberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Black soldier fly composting; BSF-colony; industrial scale; parasitic wasps; Amerikansk vapenfluga; fluglarvskompostering; storskaligt; parasitsteklar;

   Abstract : The majority of organic waste globally is either dumped or placed on landfills, which can result in spreading of disease and pests, methane gas emissions, the deterioration of landscapes and odour pollution. One of the solutions to poor organic waste management is to create value from waste. READ MORE

5. 4. The foraging distribution of Cape gannets in relation to Addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area

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

   Author : Pelagia Maria Tsousi; [2023]
   Keywords : cape gannets; morus capensis; marine Protected Areas; addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area; foraging distribution;

   Abstract : Seabirds are considered to be the sentinels of the ocean, as they are able to locate their prey in spite of the great heterogeneity of the marine environment. During the breeding season, these central-place foragers not only need to find prey to maintain themselves but also to feed their young. READ MORE

6. 5. Temperature dependent preening behaviour in common guillemots Uria aalge

   University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

   Author : Saga-Savanna Kynman; [2023]
   Keywords : common guillemot; common murre; seabirds; Stora Karlsö; heatstress; temperature; preening; allopreening;

   Abstract : As global temperature increase, new thermal conditions may challenge the physiological limits of endotherms. Examining the direct effects of extreme temperatures is an important component in understanding how these physiological limits may impact an organism’s behaviour, breeding success and survival.
