    Keywords : ground-nesting bees - pollinator conservation - sand beds – conservation in urban parks;

    Abstract : 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. 2. The effect of the COVID-19 lockdown on the spatial ecology of moose in an area with high recreational activity

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

    Author : Maximilian Dörr; [2024]
    Keywords : Moose; Alces alces; habitat selection; tourism; human disturbance; activity; movement; speed; seasons; Covid-19; pandemic;

    Abstract : In diverse landscapes, the coexistence of wildlife habitat requirements and human land use often leads to conflicts, posing challenges for sustainable species management. Recreational activities, especially in sparsely populated areas, frequently disturb wildlife behavior, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of anthropogenic impacts on habitats. READ MORE

  3. 3. Habitat use and activity patterns of three Eulemur species in the forest and restoration areas of Ranomafana and Ankafobe, Madagascar

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

  5. 5. Where can the Vendace (Coregonus albula) live during the least favourable period of the summer stratification in Lake Mälaren?

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Loa Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Temporal stratification in lakes due to high air temperatures and dynamic wind conditions changes the environment for organisms in the depth gradient. For fish that have narrow requirements for temperature and oxygen conditions, stratification can lead to a significant reduction in habitat volume during the summer when surface temperatures are high.
