  1. 1. Floristic change in the province of Scania in southernmost Sweden 1800-2020: using fragmented data to study landscape-level shifts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Cassandra Hallman; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Vascular plant observances were compiled for 10 well-documented parishes throughout southernmost Sweden from published floras, herbarium specimens, modern inventories, and a large citizen-science database to provide presence/absence of species from 1800-2020 at the decade level. A regionally-specific database of species-specific plant traits and ecological indicator values was used to examine floristic and ecological changes across an extended timeline which indicates that several of the most apparent conservation issues including climate warming, woody encroachment, and soil chemistry alterations have acted for long over a century.

  4. 3. Adaptive trait utility in the feeding apparatus of European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) : Relationships between feeding morphology and maximum and minimum prey size in the diet of whitefish

    Keywords : trait utility; gill rakers; adaptive radiation; morphological adaptation; feeding niche;

    Abstract : Whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus) populations diverge into morphs that differ in body size along a benthic-limnetic axis and throughout the depth of the water column. This process is assumedly initiated by the presence of northern pike (Esox lucius) and is followed by morphological adaptations to available food resources. READ MORE
