1. Flexible invaders: a study into aggressive behaviour in Öland's range expanding collared flycatchers
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Behavioural shifts, or changes in behaviour patterns, are an often-overlooked aspect of ecological invasions and range expansions, that can nevertheless be key in determining how and why a species may or may not succeed in their expansion process. We looked at aggressive behaviour in a small insectivore passerine species, the collared flycatcher, on the island of Öland, where it is undergoing a range expansion to the detriment of the native, ecologically similar, pied flycatcher.

2. Avian Malaria infection and its effect on cellular metabolic rate in Ficedula Flycatchers
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologiAbstract : Chronic avian malaria and low-intensity parasite infections can have a negative influence on reproduction and survival which can reduce the fitness of the host. Therefore, the effect on host due to avian malaria infection can affect a bird’s lifespan. Consequently, avian parasites can influence evolution, physiology, and host morphology. READ MORE

4. Characterization of the Recombination Landscape in Red-Breasted and Taiga Flycatchers
University essay from Uppsala universitet/EvolutionsbiologiAbstract : Between closely related species there are genomic regions with a higher level of differentiation compared to the rest of the genome. For a time it was believed that these regions harbored loci important for speciation but it has now been shown that these patterns can arise from other mechanisms, like recombination. READ MORE

5. The effect of nest box temperature on the breeding success of Pied Flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca) in northern Sweden
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesAbstract : Benefits in terms of breeding success might arise from selecting nest sites with warmer thermal conditions. These energetic gains can subsequently be invested in increased breeding success by both parents and their nestlings. READ MORE
