    Author : Samuel Malm; Ida Nordstrand; [2023]
    Keywords : Behavioural ecology; Edge effect; Neolamprologus Multifasciatus; Predation; Territoriality; Territory maintenance;

    Abstract : Sociality among animals is a common phenomenon which has both costs and benefits. More and more studies are published that uses shell dwelling cichlids as a proxy for other taxa because of their convenience when studying, unique evolution and large variety in species. READ MORE

  3. 2. Post-IR IRSL dating of K-feldspar from Loess at Lowland Point, SW England : Developing a Chronology for Past Climate Records

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Elin Törnqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : loess; post-IR IRSL; Lowland Point; SW England; Quaternary; löss; post-IR IRSL; Lowland Point; England; kvartär;

    Abstract : Loess deposits are terrestrial clastic sediments derived from aeolian deposition. Loess is transported in periglacial conditions and was mainly deposited in cold environments around glaciers during the Quaternary period. READ MORE

  4. 3. Digitizing and Mapping Channel Heads Across Various Forested Regions in Sweden Using a High-Resolution DEM : A Regional Analysis of How Landscape Properties Influencing Channel Head Initiation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Amanda Jarefjäll; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Acting as a hydrological link between the terrestrial landscape and the larger downstream river network, channel heads and their immediate headwaters are essential geomorphological features in our landscape. Not only due to their ability to transport water and sediment and cycling of nutrients, but as an important component for ecosystem productivity and aquatic habitats. READ MORE

  5. 4. A Method for Evaluating and Mapping Terrestrial Deposition and Preservation Potential- for Palaeostorm Surge Traces. Remote Mapping of the Coast of Scania, Blekinge and Halland, in Southern Sweden, with a Field Study at Dalköpinge Ängar, Trelleborg

    Abstract : Studier av palaeostormfloder ger bakgrund till inom vilka intevall stormar av olika storlek förväntas återkomma och träffa olika områden. Denna information kan användas vid modellering, riskbedömning och stadsplanering. READ MORE

  6. 5. Evidence for birch forests and a highly productive environment near the margin of the Fennoscandian ice sheet in the Värriötunturit area, northeastern Finland

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Fredrik Bogren; [2019]
    Keywords : Early Holocene; productive ice-marginal environment; subarctic birch forests; plant macrofossils; pollen; palaeoenvironmental reconstructions; palaeoclimate reconstructions; Värriötunturit; Kuutsjärvi; northeastern Finland; northern Fennoscandia;

    Abstract : High-resolution records of early Holocene deposits are rare, and as a consequence reconstruction of terrestrial environments very soon after the deglaciation has often been difficult. In this study the palaeoenvironmental conditions of early Holocene (c. 10600-7500 cal. READ MORE
