1. Nattbelysningens påverkan på förekomsten av nattfjärilar i Halmstads urbana grönområden.
Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för företagande, innovation och hållbarhetSammanfattning : Sammanfattning Nattfjärilar är en utsatt grupp när det kommer till nattbelysning, eftersom nattbelysning påverkar processer som födosök och reproduktion samt ökar deras mortalitet genom stress och ökad risk för predation. Mörka och belysta lokaler i Halmstads urbana grönområden undersöktes för att studera nattbelysningens påverkan på nattfjärilars individantal och artdiversitet. LÄS MER
2. Bats in Urban Sweden : A multiple regression analysis of bats’ relationship to urbanization
Master-uppsats, Södertörns högskola/MiljövetenskapSammanfattning : Human development continues to use up more physical space in the natural world, threatening the natural habitats of many organisms. To combat the loss of biodiversity science needs to explore what landscape features are important for different organisms so that we can incorporate these into the modern environment. LÄS MER
3. Exploring the phenomena “foraging” in urban green spaces : examples from Järva City District and Stockholm County
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience CentreSammanfattning : As cities globally experience rapid urbanization, the pressure on urban green areas increases and simultaneously opportunities for human-nature interactions decrease, which are crucial for urban citizens’ wellbeing. Urban foraging- the gathering of plant or fungal materials in urban areas- is a common human-nature interaction that has been inadequately studied and overlooked in urban policy, planning, and design.

4. To bee or not to bee - an evaluation of management strategies to promote pollinators in private gardens
Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildningSammanfattning : Urbanisation has an increasingly negative effect on wild bees and other pollinating insects because it results in land-use change and habitat-loss, leading to population declines. We rely on ecosystem services that bees provide and must ensure their survival. LÄS MER
5. Guarding crops against the ‘protected pest’ : interactions among farmers, monkeys, and conservation staffs in a nature reserve of Guangxi, China
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural DevelopmentSammanfattning : Human-wildlife conflict has become a global challenge. Crop damage by wildlife can cause significant economic loss and primates such as monkeys can cause particular problem to farmers. LÄS MER
