  1. 1. The foraging distribution of Cape gannets in relation to Addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Pelagia Maria Tsousi; [2023]
    Nyckelord :cape gannets; morus capensis; marine Protected Areas; addo Elephant National Park Marine Protected Area; foraging distribution;

    Sammanfattning : Seabirds are considered to be the sentinels of the ocean, as they are able to locate their prey in spite of the great heterogeneity of the marine environment. During the breeding season, these central-place foragers not only need to find prey to maintain themselves but also to feed their young. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Aquatic ecotoxicology is the study of toxic chemicals and its effects on aquatic biological systems with the aim of minimising threats to human health and ensure self-sustained ecosystems. Freshwater bivalves are excellent sentinels for use in ecotoxilogical research due to their filter feeding properties, stationary lifestyle and inability to regulate body temperature. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Bacillus anthracis : naturliga utbrott, bioattacker och veterinärens roll

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Nyckelord :Bacillus anthracis; antrax; biovapen; biologiska krigföring; bioterrorism;

    Sammanfattning : Biologisk krigföring är inte ett nytt begrepp, tvärtom har forskare hittat mängder av exempel på sådana attacker redan från medeltiden, och ännu längre bakåt i tiden. Framväxten av den moderna mikrobiologin på 1900-talet, startade dock ett helt nytt kapitel och det var plötsligt möjligt att uppföröka stora mängder patogener. LÄS MER

  7. 5. When The Sentinels Fall: Macrophage Cell Death Response to GAS Infection

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi
