    Abstract : African elephants are ‘keystone’ species with respect to biodiversity conservation in Africa since they maintain habitats that support several animal communities by changing vegetation structure through foraging and by dispersing seeds between landscapes. Elephants are also ‘flagship’ species because, given their impressive size, they can make people sympathetic and stimulate local and international concerns for their protection. READ MORE

  4. 2. Phylogenetic relationships and species richness of coprophilous ascomycetes

    Abstract : The aims of the studies underlying this thesis were to evaluate variations in fatty acid (FA) contents of plants used as forage for dairy cows in northern Sweden, and their effects on the FA contents of the milk. Initially, samples of timothy (Phleum pratense L.) were subjected to different pre-treatments prior to analysis. READ MORE
