1. An attempt to promote ground-nesting bees in an urban landscape. Investigating the use of sand beds as a conservation effort.
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : Pollinators provide crucial services for the ecosystems by pollinating around 80-90% of all plants. However, pollinating insects are declining worldwide which may cause a parallel decline in plant species leading to large biodiversity losses. READ MORE

2. MODELLING THE SMOLT PRODUCTIVITY OF BROWN TROUT (SALMO TRUTTA) IN HAGA Å
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : The brown trout (Salmo trutta) is a facultatively anadromous species, some individuals migrate from the rearing environment in the rivers to the sea while other individuals stay in fresh water. To determine the suitability of a stream for juvenile trout the organization SGBALANST has developed what is called the "Trout habitat score" (THS) model. READ MORE

3. A computational model of metapopulation dynamics and organism-mediated nutrient flow
University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapAbstract : The aim of this project was to assess, using in-silico experiments, how different life history char-acteristics, such as age at maturity and dispersal ability of individuals, influence the dynamics of a metapopulation. To achieve this, a novel model of a spatially explicit metapopulation, with organ-ism-mediated nutrient flow between fragmented habitat patches, was implemented by means of computer simulations.

4. Assessing the accuracy of a spatial model of habitat suitability for Calypso bulbosa
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Abstract : Calypso bulbosa is a rare and visually striking orchid that grows in older mesic to moist forests in the northern half of Sweden. C. bulbosa is red listed as a threatened species (Vulnerable, VU) with a reduction in numbers linked to modern forestry practices and exacerbated by the warming climate. READ MORE

5. Future climate suitability of shade trees in cocoa agroforestry systems in West Africa and shade tree diversity’s impact on farm microclimate : A Minor Field Study
University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikAbstract : Shade trees’ implementation into cocoa agroforestry systems in tropical West Africa has proven to have a high potential in increasing farm resilience and mitigating climate change. However, no studies have yet examined the potential future climate suitability for shade trees in the region, which is important when deciding which shade trees to implement. READ MORE
