1. How does grazing and burning affect the occurrence and development of vascular plants?
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskapSammanfattning : Grazing and burning are disturbances that can be used for management of landscapes that are in need of restoration. When applying these disturbances, you can create a more diverse flora and fauna and control the grazing pressure from domestic cattle. LÄS MER
2. Riskfaktorer för Strongylus vulgaris – en enkätstudie
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Clinical SciencesSammanfattning : I stort sett exponeras alla betande hästar för endoparasiter någon gång under sin levnad. Strongylus vulgaris, en av hästens stora blodmaskar, anses vara den hästparasit som är mest patogen och kan orsaka skador som är direkt fatala. Strongylus vulgaris har en fekal-oral livscykel som tar cirka sex till sju månader att fullborda. LÄS MER
3. Pollinator communities on a landscape complexity gradient in southern Sweden
Magister-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EcologySammanfattning : Investigating how pollinator populations are affected by land use changes is crucial for predicting their persistence in the landscape and thereby the persistence of the significant service they provide to crop production. Pollinator populations are subjected to multiple threats, particularly overall intensification of cropping systems and landscape simplification. LÄS MER
4. Optimal foraging in an Arctic herbivore : How does the foraging behaviour of Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) respond to seasonal changes from summer through autumn of the Arctic tundra?
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Foraging decisions of large herbivores can be affected by many factors and have great effect on both above- and below-ground ecosystems. Here, I determine to which degree temporal (seasonality), or spatial (habitat) factors influence the foraging behaviour of Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) and asses if small-scale foraging behaviour correlates with an animals’ patch residence time.

5. REINDEER GRAZING IN A NORTHERN BOREAL FOREST : Seasonal and reindeer-induced changes in nutrient availability and soil temperature
Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Soil nutrient availability is a key component to understanding the boreal ecosystems, as it directly relates to plant productivity and ecosystem diversity. There is however little known about how the nutrient availability changes seasonally in the boreal forest. LÄS MER
