    Abstract : Den biologiska mångfalden i vår natur minskar och ängsmarkerna som förr var en stor del av vårt jordbruk har försvunnit till följd av mer effektiva odlingsmetoder. Detta har resulterat i att insekter, vildbin och andra pollinatiörer, som även förser oss människor med mat, försvinner allt snabbare. READ MORE

  4. 8. The effect of restoration of semi-natural grassland on arthropod populations

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Molly Wikingson; [2021]
    Keywords : Arthropoda; Conservation; Grasslands; Landscape factors; Restoration success; Species rich communities;

    Abstract : Semi-natural grasslands are valuable ecosystems that have a high biodiversity. Unfortunately, a lot of this biodiversity is being lost as semi-natural grasslands are declining in both size and number. Restoration to reestablish semi-natural grasslands is often done by removing shrubs and trees and planting seeds. READ MORE

  5. 9. Statistical Analysis and Modeling of the Behavioral Response to Humidity and Olfactory Cues by the Vinegar Fly Drosophila melanogaster

    Author : Jonathan Lind; [2021]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Animals are impacted by the humidity of their surrounding environment, it affects their ability of thermoregulation, water retention and their overall well-being.

  6. 10. Simulating Facilitation in a Spiking Neural Network

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Author : Alexander Kuzmin; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Many insects are able to detect, isolate and track small targets that move quickly against a dynamic background. This ability is enabled by a group of neurons called small target motion detectors (STMD). These neurons, among other properties, have a type of short term memory called response facilitation.
