  1. 1. Diving Deep: Seabird foraging tactics and local prey field

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Författare :Elin Andersson Sjöholm; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Common Guillemot; Uria aalge; Optimal Foraging theory; Hydroacoustic data; resource selection;

    Sammanfattning : Foragers in patchy environments need to decide what patches to use and how to allocate their time between them. Optimal foraging theory describes these choices through the relationship between energy expenditure and energy gain. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Vibrational signals as indicators of soil fauna health? : A novel approach to environmental monitoring of ants

    Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Joel Fransson Forsberg; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Vibrations; Formica ants; Vibrometer; Vibrational signals; Imidacloprid; Before-After-Control-Impact;

    Sammanfattning : Soil fauna provides processes of crucial importance for ecosystem functions, but our ability to observe their actions often depend on destructive methods where the integrity of the studied environment (the soil) is compromised. In this study, I develop and test a new generation of environmental monitoring tools that utilize vibrations made by soil macrofauna to inform about their performance and health. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Duncan Jones; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Habitat Modelling; Harbour Porpoise; MaxEnt; Tidal Processes; Conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where these lethal interactions might occur. LÄS MER

  7. 5. FÖDOPREFERENSER HOS BIN En jämförelse mellan pollenpreferenser hos nordiskt honungsbi och Buckfast

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Instiutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Elvira Ljungberg; [2022-11-07]
    Nyckelord :Apis mellifera; Buckfast; pollen preference; pollination; pollen analysis; native flora;

    Sammanfattning : The original honeybee in Sweden, the European dark bee (Apis mellifera mellifera), was lost form the wild during the 19th century. The subspecies survived through beekeeping but began to be exchanged for other honeybees from the beginning of the 20th century and was almost locally extinct a century later. LÄS MER
