    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hostplant use; habitat shift; diversity; grasses; biogeography; phylogeny; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : I present an overview of the evolutionary history of Satyrinae butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). By using Bayesian and cladistic methods, I develop a phylogenetic hypothesis as a basis for studying the evolutionary history of the group. READ MORE

    Abstract : Soil acidification has become a source of serious concern in many parts of the world. In southern Sweden, the deposition of acidifying substances, such as nitrogen and sulphur compounds, has decreased the mean pH of forest soils by almost one unit since the 1950s. READ MORE

  4. 4. Endophytic fungi in meadow fescue and other forage grasses

    Author : Anja Bylin; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Many cool-season forage grasses associate with an endophytic fungus of the genus Epichloë. In Sweden one of the most important forage grasses is meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.), which is known to associate with Epichloë uncinata, previously named Neotyphodium uncinatum. READ MORE
