1. Insects in conifer logs : their association to the polypore fungi Amyloporia sinuosa, A. xantha and Neoantrodia serialis and impact of aggregations of wood
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EcologyAbstract : A large number of insects are associated with polypores. They can be monophagous, polyphagous and use several fungal hosts, or be parasites on the insects utilize the fungus. The insect assemblage for some polypores is well investigated but there is still a lack of knowledge for many species. READ MORE

2. Fungal pigmentation responses to microclimatic variables in isolated forest patches in Northern Sweden
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Investigating functional traits is an important tool for understanding fungal communities, yet ecological functions of fungal pigmentation remain poorly investigated. Recent studies support the thermal-melanism hypothesis for fungal color lightness in relation to macroclimate, but it remains unclear if microclimate also affects fungal pigmentation. READ MORE

3. Community structure of polyporous fungi after wildfire in boreal forest
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesAbstract : Wildfire is a natural disturbance that creates large amounts dead wood and contribute to a landscape of different successional stages, important for biodiversity. The number of wildfires have declined in boreal Fennoscandia due to effective fire suppression. READ MORE

4. Trädsvampborrare i ettåriga tickor : betydelsen av värdsvamparnas släktskap och miljövariabler
University essay from SLU/Dept. of EcologyAbstract : Trädsvampborrare (Ciidae) är en skalbaggsfamilj som lever i och är viktiga nedbrytare av vedlevande basidiesvampar, så kallade tickor. I en fältstudie har jag undersökt vilka arter av trädsvampborrare som lever i ettåriga tickor med frågeställningen om trädsvampborrarna i större utsträckning väljer närbesläktade värdsvampar än svampar som står långt ifrån varandra fylogenetiskt.

5. Population biology and ecology in the rare and endangered Hapalopilus croceus.
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Landscape management has altered the population dynamics of many species residing in old growth ecosystems. As a result, fragmentations in residual old oak habitats in Sweden have led to the decline of endangered and long-lived polypores including the bright orange Hapalopilus croceus. READ MORE
