  1. 1. Beware of your neighbour : the effects of intraspecific interactions and CO2-level on the plant growth of two Barley cultivars

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Nadja Nyberg; [2023]
    Keywords : Barley; Salome; Fairytale; cultivar mixture; pure stand; intraspecific competition; plant-plant interactions; competitive ability; elevated CO2;

    Abstract : Plants have evolved several ways to sense what is going on around them. They can detect possible competitors by picking up on airborne Volatile Compounds emitted from neighbouring plants. The cues can induce growth responses that enhances the competitive ability of the receiver. READ MORE

  3. 2. With neighbours like these : what influences the size of Scandinavian wolf territories

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Jakob Ahlberg; [2022]
    Keywords : wolves; home-range size; intraspecific competition;

    Abstract : The home-range of an animal and what factors influence it’s size and appearance is vital information when it comes to understanding and protecting a species. One of these factors can be intraspecific competition over resources, especially amongst territorial species like large carnivores. READ MORE

  4. 3. The effect of temperature on the interaction between larvae of a native and a range expanding dragonfly species

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Sanne Everling; [2021]
    Keywords : Climate change; temperature; native; invasive; competition; behaviour; Odonata;

    Abstract : Climate change might affect the distribution of species; therefore, it is important to anticipate the imminent impact of climate change. Even though climate responses have the potential to affect species interactions, most models on the effect of climate change on species distribution assume that species respond to climate individually.

  5. 4. Multifaceted effects of competition and plant-soil feedbacks on Achillea millefolium grown in soil from a riparian meadow : Emil Karlsson - Umeå University - Thesis project - 60 hp

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Emil Karlsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Plant; Competition; Plant soil feedback; Yarrow; Achillea millefolium; Centaurea cyanus; Soil; pH; Nitrate; Ammonium; Nitrogen; Soil texture; Light; Sweden; Height; Biomass; Field; Growth chamber; Greenhouse; Ecology; Relative fitness; Stabilizing niche; Konkurrens; Jordmån; Kärlväxter; Röllika; Blåklint;

    Abstract : Competition between plant individuals and how plants alter soil properties are key processes which drive changes in plant communities over time. Estimating the relative importance of these processes and how they affect plant growth in different ecological contexts and communities is an active area of research. READ MORE

  6. 5. Nutritional ecology of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) and fallow deer (Dama dama L.) : a case study of the browser - grazer dichotomy

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Heidi Rautiainen; [2017]
    Keywords : nutritional ecology; rumen contents; forage selection; deer; Capreolus capreolus; Dama dama;

    Abstract : Nutritional ecology implies the nutritional links between an animal and its environment. On an evolutionary time scale competition for food drives species formation by genetic adaptations to the environment and subsequent niche separation of species. READ MORE
