  2. 21. Mating strategies and sexual conflicts in aquatic invertebrates: consequences for evolutionary differentiation

    Author : Kristina Karlsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Asellus aquaticus; Dytiscidae; gender bias; genetic polymorphism; mate guarding; parallel evolution; plasticity; population divergence; sexual conflict; sexually antagonistic selection; sexual selection;

    Abstract : In this thesis I investigated how mating related strategies may differ among populations and how these strategies evolve in response to their local ecological environments. I have used two different study systems of aquatic invertebrates: diving beetles (Dytiscidae) and the fresh water isopod Asellus aquaticus. READ MORE

  4. 22. The evolutionary ecology of plant reproductive diversity and floral signals : Mating system and floral scent in Arabis alpina

    Author : Hampus Petrén; Biodiversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabis alpina; floral scent; intraspecific variation; mating system; parental conflict; phenotypic plasticity; phenotypic selection; reproductive isolation; speciation; volatile organic compound VOC ;

    Abstract : Flowering plants display an extraordinary floral- and reproductive diversity. Variation in the size, shape, colour and scent of flowers, and in systems and strategies of mating, is ubiquitous in comparisons of different species, but also exists among different conspecific populations.

  5. 23. The conflict between Grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) and the Baltic coastal fisheries : new methods for the assessment and reduction of catch losses and gear damage

    Author : Arne Fjälling; Mats Amundin; Sverre Sjölander; Anders Fernö; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Ecology; Grey seals; Baltic coastal fisheries; Ekologi; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : There is a problematic interaction going on between grey seals and the small scale coastal fisheries in the Baltic. A large number of seals are by-caught and drowned each year, and the viability of the fishery is threatened by catch losses caused by the seals. READ MORE

  6. 24. Environmental Conflicts Management in Rwanda: The Role of Decentralization. Institution: Institutionen för globala studier

    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; environmental conflict management; decentralization; devolution; responsiveness; participation; environmental peacebuilding;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the management of environmental conflicts in post-genocide Rwanda through decentralization. The study advances knowledge in the field of peace and development. The thesis contributes an exploration of whether and how decentralization promotes the management of environmental conflicts. READ MORE

  7. 25. Wind energy siting: Challenges in applying spatial multi-criteria for planning support

    Author : Deepa Manolan Kandy; Mörtberg Mörtberg; Gesa Geissler; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

    Abstract : Increasing emissions of greenhouse gases and subsequent impacts on environment and societypronounces the need for transition into renewable energy globally. Sweden aims to achieve 100 %renewable electricity by year 2040 with a major share expected to come from wind power. READ MORE
