6. Phytoplankton response to a changing climate in lakes in northern Sweden
Abstract : In a climate change perspective, increased air temperatures are already a reality and are expected to increase even more in the future, especially in areas at high latitudes. The present thesis therefore addresses the influence of climate change on the physical properties and the phytoplankton communities of typical small and oligotrophic lakes in northern Sweden (62-64˚N).

7. Love (eating) thy neighbour? Understanding and predicting food-web structure and dynamics
Abstract : Food webs are networks of feeding interactions that provide the backbone of ecological communities. The structure - who eats whom - and dynamics - how population abundances fluctuate as a result - of food webs depend on the traits of the species present. READ MORE

9. The significance of species groups for food web structure and functioning
Abstract : In ecosystems across the world, species co-exist, compete, and consume, all while adapting to environmental conditions and disruptions. An important key to the puzzle of understanding how species will respond to changes in the ecosystems, caused by for example climate change, pollution, habitat destruction, and overexploitation, is what current roles species have in a larger context.

10. Objectively measured eating behaviors and their relation to food intake in school and hospital settings
Abstract : Introduction: The measurement of food intake (what and how much we eat and drink) is of great importance due to its involvement in three great challenges facing humanity: 1) obesity/overnutrition, 2) undernutrition and 3) climate change, as well as their related health consequences. However, measuring food and energy intake in humans is complicated since traditional self-reported methods have systematic bias while traditional objective laboratory methods have generalizability and upscaling issues.
