2. How Does Intraspecific Trait Variation Influence the Climate Niche Breadth of Tropical Tree Species?
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : With the contribution of intraspecific trait variation (ITV) to ecological processes being increasingly appreciated, its role in defining niche characteristics arises as a topic of interest. I hypothesised that species with a high magnitude of ITV would occupy a larger climate niche breadth than species with little ITV. READ MORE

3. Diet variability in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) as a response to environmental variables along a latitudinal gradient
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Climate change is expected to have a profound impact on freshwater fish communities, especially at higher latitudes. In this study I investigated potential effects of climate change on the niche structure of Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) by looking at their diet across a latitudinal gradient and at varying light climate.
