2. 1. Spatial Strategies for Biodiversity Conservation

   Author : André Pinto da Silva; Mats Bjõrklund; Greta Bocedi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global change; Southern Asia; mammals; ecological modelling; Biology with specialization in Animal Conservation; Biologi med inriktning mot zoologisk bevarandebiologi;

   Abstract : Biodiversity is being lost under alarming rates due to an unsustainable socio-economic trajectory causing global change. Such loss is unequally spread over the Earth, and Southern Asia has been and is projected to continue to be one of the most affected regions. READ MORE

4. 2. Effective conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes

   Author : William Sidemo Holm; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; ecosystem services; agri-environmental measures; cost-effectiveness; conservation;

   Abstract : Agricultural land use is a major driver of biodiversity losses and changes in ecosystem services. Thus, for the sake of both humans and wild organism per se, effective strategies that enable both agricultural production and conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services are urgently needed.

5. 3. Nutrient use strategies of plants of various life-forms in a subarctic environment : Nutrient conservation as an adaption to infertile habitats

   Author : Rolf Lutz Eckstein; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Mean residence time; Nutrient productivity; Nutrient use efficiency; Plant strategies; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

   Abstract : Plant performance in relation to limiting nutrients was analysed using the concept of nutrient use efficiency (NUE). NUE can be decomposed into (1) the nutrient productivity (aNP) and (2) the mean residence time (MRT). READ MORE

6. 4. Conservation Laws, Numerical Schemes and Control Strategies for Sedimentation and Wastewater Treatment

   Author : Sebastian Farås; Matematik LTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Conservation law; Temple class system; numerical scheme; continuous sedimentation;

   Abstract : A consistent theme throughout this thesis is quasilinear partial differential equations (PDEs) appearing in one-dimensional models of sedimentation for solid-liquid separation of suspensions. We mainly focus on continuous sedimentation in so-called clarifier-thickeners (CTs), which are found in mineral processing and wastewater treatment. READ MORE

7. 5. Oviposition strategies in butterflies and consequences for conservation

   Author : Anders Bergström; Sören Nylin; Jeremy A. Thomas; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

   Abstract : Oviposition strategies are an important component of life history evolution in insects. Oviposition is a complex behaviour, where females must locate suitable habitat patches, locate oviposition sites, evaluate the quality, and finally decide how many eggs to lay. READ MORE
