Environmental and social determinants of elephant walking speed in conflict-prone areas
(2025-07-01)African savannah elephants (Loxodonta africana) are keystone species whose movements play a crucial role in shaping ecosystems. Yet, their populations are under increasing pressure from poaching, habitat loss, and rising ... -
Arctic plant phenology and abundance. Understanding temperature-sensitivity and warming impacts
(2025-07-01)The Arctic is warming four times faster than the global average, driving major changes in tundra ecosystems. One key response is shifts in plant phenology, the timing of life events like flowering. These shifts can cause ... -
Exploring the diet of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)
(2025-06-30)Changes in fish species abundance in the marine environment, can influence the prey composition of harbour seal diet and ultimately cause a decline in somatic growth and pregnancy rates. Thus, diet analysis enables early ... -
Potential of behavioral and morphological bias in invasive brook trout capture methods
(2025-06-30)Invasive species in aquatic systems can result in numerous adverse effects such as reduced native populations, loses in biodiversity, and degraded ecological services. When these effects become too great to ignore ... -
EXAMINING DAILY AND DRY SEASON CAPACITIVE WATER RELEASE OF AFRICAN TROPICAL TREES IN A CHANGING CLIMATE
(2025-06-30)Tropical forests are vital to the global carbon budget, regional water cycling and biodiversity, but face major threats in a changing climate. Tree die-off due to drought is a concern of increasing magnitude. Understanding ... -
The impact of fasting and refeeding on intestinal fluid transport capacity and cortisol levels in salmonids
(2025-06-30)The intestine in fish, as in most animals, plays a central role in nutrient absorption and contributes significantly to osmoregulatory balance, particularly under fasting or salinity-related stress conditions. This thesis ... -
Genetic regulation of the short-term stomatal CO2 response in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2025-06-30)Plants respond to various environmental stimuli, including elevated CO₂, by partially closing their stomatal pores. This partial closure reduces water loss through transpiration while allow-ing photosynthesis to continue. ... -
How environmental variation affects genetics trade-offs among life-history traits
(2025-06-30)To predict how populations will adapt and evolve, it is essential to understand how costly life-history traits genetically covary and trade off in response to variable environments. These trade-offs can limit the response ... -
PFAS in Drinking Water: Institutional Responsibilities and Regulatory Gaps caused the Ronneby incident?
(2025-06-27)PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) are a collective name for over 10,000 synthetic chemicals. They are characterized by their persistence, bioaccumulation, and high mobility in aquatic environments, and ... -
Effect of microclimate on litter decomposition within the arctic region.
(2025-06-27)Plant litter decomposition is a key process in the global carbon cycle, influencing carbon exchange between ecosystems and the atmosphere. Temperature and moisture are known climatic regulators of decomposition rate at ... -
Osmoreglera mera - Phaseolus vulgaris under torka. Genotypiska skillnader i osmoreglering som anpassning till torka hos vanlig böna.
(2025-06-27)Torka är en av de största begränsande faktorerna för jordbruksproduktion globalt och med klimatförändringarna förväntas både förekomst och intensitet av torka öka. Detta utgör ett växande hot mot livsmedelssäkerhet samtidigt ... -
Testing local adaption to microclimate in tundra plants. A common garden experoment with temperature treatments.
(2025-06-27)One of the regions changing the fastest due to global warming is the tundra regions. This can potentially severely boost global warming due to the area containing a large majority of the worlds carbon stock, trapped under ... -
Dammen i Slottsskogen. Förekomst och förutsättningar samt åtgärdsförslag för att gynna groddjur i framtida naturvårdsarbete.
(2025-06-27)Groddjur (amfibier) är viktiga indikatorarter i både akvatiska och terrestra ekosystem, men globalt hotas denna organismgrupp av habitatförlust, försämrad vattenkvalitet och klimatförändringar. Stadsmiljöförvaltningen i ... -
Nya urbana trädarters återhämtning av fotosynteser efter värmebölja.
(2025-06-27)Träd är viktiga för att skapa hållbara städer. De utför ekosystemtjänster som gynnar oss människor genom ökat fysiskt och psykiskt välmående samt genom att bidra positivt till vår ekonomi. Utformningen av städer medför ett ... -
Effekt av brand och bete på uppkomst av örtartade växter i restaurerade betesmarker. En jämförande studie
(2025-06-27)Open ecosystems, such as grasslands and pastures, have naturally been shaped by disturbances like fire and grazing. These processes play a crucial role in creating habitats with high biological diversity, particularly ... -
Mellan lag och verklighet. En studie av svenska kustkommuners förvaltning av grunda mjukbottnar i kustzonen.
(2025-06-27)Grunda mjukbottnar i Sveriges kustvatten utgör biologiskt värdefulla miljöer med funktioner som näringsomsättning, erosionsskydd och viktiga livsmiljöer för fisk. Trots detta är dessa habitat kraftigt hotade av ökad ... -
BARK AND FOLIAR WATER UPTAKE CAPACITY OF TROPICAL TREE SPECIES IN RWANDA
(2025-06-26)Water is essential for tree function and survival, yet climate warming poses increasing threats to tree health, particularly in tropical regions where droughts are intensifying. While foliar water uptake (FWU) and bark ... -
Determining how levoglucosan partitions between gas and particle phases Investigating temperature effects in the presence of ammonium sulphate aerosols
(2025-06-26)Air pollution is a major environmental concern and affects millions of people worldwide. Biomass burning is a common practice which contributes emissions to the atmosphere, which reduce air quality. Levoglucosan is ... -
Source apportionment of PM2.5 pollution in Lagos, Nigeria
(2025-06-26)This study presents a source apportionment of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the megacity of Lagos, Nigeria. The study took place from the beginning of January to the middle of March 2025, encompassing air pollution ... -
