  1. 1. Vedlevande skalbaggar 10–20 år efter brand i tallskog : en jämförelse mellan hällmark och produktiv mark

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

    Author : KajsaLisa Olsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Tallimpediment; biologisk mångfald; vedlevande skalbaggar; naturvårdsbränning; Pinus sylvestris;

    Abstract : The Swedish boreal forests have changed drastically in the last century. Intensive forestry with clear-cuttings and fire-prevention, cause a lack in dead wood diversity and volume. The current research on forests mainly focuses on productive forests and there is a knowledge gap regarding the importance of low-productive forest for biodiversity. READ MORE

  2. 2. Claws and Effect : how Small Carnivore Richness Responds to Habitat Diversity and Ecological Productivity

    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. 3. Evaluating forest restoration effects on timing of avian dawn chorus in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar

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

    Author : Marjolein Pijper; [2023]
    Keywords : acoustic monitoring; forest restoration; dawn chorus; avian singing; bird monitoring; automatic recognition;

    Abstract : Monitoring of forest restoration efforts is essential to ensure healthy, self-sustaining tropical rainforests. Passive acoustic monitoring is used to monitor vocal activity of birds, which play a key role in forest ecosystems as seed dispersers. READ MORE

  4. 4. Restoration effects on benthic macroinvertebrate diversity and community composition in a river

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Fredrik Laggar; [2023]
    Keywords : Benthic invertebrates; diversity; communtiy composition;

    Abstract : Physical restoration efforts are common methods to restore running waters containingdegraded ecosystems due to anthropogenic activities such as irrigation, ditching, dammingand flood prevention. The goal is usually to restore waters to a more natural state, creatingmore physically complex habitats supporting a larger number of species of both fish andinvertebrates, hence increasing biodiversity.

  5. 5. Could horse grazing be used to restore abandoned fields? : a comparison of the vegetation between horse pastures and abandoned fields, and an inventory of the effects of grazing- history and intensity

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

    Author : Jantien Vogel; [2022]
    Keywords : abandoned field; grazing; horse pasture; functional traits; species richness; vegetation;

    Abstract : Semi-natural fields, created by traditional land-use systems like low-intensity cattle grazing, have high ecological value due to the occurrence of numerous plant species, and their associated faunal communities. In Sweden, this habitat is threatened by both land-abandonment and agricultural intensification. READ MORE
