  1. 41. Insekter som livsmedel : möjligheter och utmaningar i att designa avelsprogram

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Författare :Agnes Fridell; [2017]
    Nyckelord :Acheta domesticus; Tenebrio; Apis mellifera; Bombyx mori; entomophagy; avelsprogram;

    Sammanfattning : Insekter har föreslagits som ett möjligt alternativ för att producera klimatsmart kött. Det beror delvis på deras höga foderomvandlingsförmåga. Foderomvandlingsför-mågan innebär att de kan födas upp på mindre foder i jämförelse med andra djur. Det kan vara ett bra sätt att använda markresurserna. LÄS MER

  3. 42. Environmental Risks in the Swedish Pulp and Paper Industry : A study on environmental risk identification, mitigation and stakeholder drivers towards environmental initiatives

    Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Företagsekonomi

    Författare :Hanna Norgren; Louisa Turton; [2016]
    Nyckelord :Environmental risks; risk management; pulp and paper industry; stakeholder; climate change; environmental management systems; agenda-setting theory; stakeholder theory;

    Sammanfattning : AbstractClimate change and the ever growing frequency of natural disasters and extreme weather conditions are issues of high interest in present times and are considered to be one of the biggest threats facing mankind. These prevalent issues associated with environmental risks can eminently cause implications towards corporations, not least when the frequency and intensity can impact their operations and finances.

  4. 43. Effects of low quality soil, drought and systemic pesticides on plant flowering traits in Brassica Napus L.

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Författare :Sofie Vessling; [2016]
    Nyckelord :Agriculture; Flower density; Pollen production; Insect pollination; Pollination; Drought; Low quality soil; Clothianidin; Climate change; Neonicotinoids; Brassica Napus; Plant resources; Rapeseed; Nectar production; Systemic pesticide; Flower traits; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : One of the most important ecosystem services is animal pollination, which has been found to increase both crop quantity and quality and hence is important for sustainable food production. To provide food to an increasing population, farming systems are intensifying to maintain high crop yields. LÄS MER

  5. 44. Effects of phenology and the microclimate on the seed set of Anemone nemorosa

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Laurent Risser; [2016]
    Nyckelord :interaction; plant-pollinator; microclimate; phenology;

    Sammanfattning : Changing climate affects the dispersal and phenology of plants and pollinators. Particularly in the spring, climate warming accelerates the timing of flowering and insect emergence. Temporal mismatch is a fairly well studied biological phenomenon. LÄS MER

  7. 45. Evaluation of a push-pull strategy against fungus gnats (Diptera: Sciaridae)

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Författare :Therese Diderot; [2016]
    Nyckelord :fungus gnats; pest management; push-pull strategy; peppermint oil; yellow sticky card traps; LED;

    Sammanfattning : Fungus gnats (Diptera: Sciaridae) are major insect pests in greenhouse production systems. Their larvae reside in the growing medium and can cause severe damage on the plants when feeding on the root system. When the fungus gnats occur at high population densities, the damage can inhibit plant growth, or in worst-case kill the plant entirely. LÄS MER
