  4. 2. Evolution of host repertoires and the diversification of butterflies

    Author : Mariana Pires Braga; Niklas Janz; Sören Nylin; Fredrik Ronquist; Alexandre Antonelli; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; coevolution; host-parasite interaction; inference; networks; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : All herbivorous insects are specialized to some extent to their host plants, but the level of specialization varies greatly. Insect-plant coevolution is often invoked to explain the large diversity of herbivorous insects, but the role of specialization during diversification is still controversial. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development and Resilience : Re-thinking poverty and intervention in biocultural landscapes

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis project was to elucidate patterns and processes associated with the biotic interactions in a natural plant–herbivore–parasitoid food web characterized by spatial and temporal heterogeneity with regard to species composition. The system examined is based on island populations of the perennial herb Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria, Rosaceae), located in the Skeppsvik Archipelago. READ MORE
