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

    Author : Emilia Arkdalen; [2023]
    Keywords : small carnivore; camera trap; occupancy model; species richness; productivity; habitat richness; habitat evenness;

    Abstract : Species distribution and composition research has gained significance in light of global warming and its impact on biodiversity. Understanding the factors shaping species richness is crucial for wildlife ecology and conservation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Carabidocoenoses and Fragments of Forests : exploring the Carabid Landscape

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Simon Heinrich Arns; [2023]
    Keywords : biodiversity; Carabidae; carabid diversity; entomology; Fragmentation; Fragstats; habitat fragmentation; habitat Heterogeneity; landscape; landscape ecology; landscape Heterogeneity; pitfall trap; quantifying fragmentation;

    Abstract : Epigeic ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) were sampled between 2021-06-28 and 2021-07-09 using pitfall traps in the Swedish counties Värmland and Gävleborg. The structural properties of the landscapes surrounding these points were estimated from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s national land cover databases and the Swedish Forest Agency’s data for all formally protected and high conservation value forests using patch-based configurational metrics.
