  2. 1. Ecology, tourism and management of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)

    Author : Sandra M. Granquist; Anders Angerbjörn; Per-Åke Nilsson; Hrefna Sigurjónsdóttir; Arne Bjørge; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Harbour seals; Phoca vitulina; ecology; tourism; wildlife; disturbance; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : In cases where human and wildlife are co-using the same geographical areas and resources, management issues often get complex and stakeholder conflicts are common. The Icelandic harbour seal (Phoca vitulina) population is rapidly decreasing, but direct culling of seals still occurs. READ MORE

  4. 2. Effects of forest fire and the ecology of fire-adapted insects

    Author : Lars-Ove Wikars; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Ascomycetes; biodiversity; boreal; Coleoptera; disturbance; life-history; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; Entomology; entomologi;

    Abstract : Fire is widely recognised for its major impact on boreal forest ecosystems. The altereddisturbance regime due to effective fire suppression and extensive forestry may be a majorthreat to biodiversity.If logging preceded burning, the pyrophilous (Gr. fire-loving) beetle Sericoda quadripunctata failed to reproduce.

  5. 3. Phytoplankton and Physical Disturbance : Seasonal dynamics in temperate Lake Erken, Sweden

    Author : Yang Yang; Kurt Pettersson; Peeter Nõges; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phytoplankton dynamics; high-frequency measurements; thermal stratification; water column stability; equilibrium; disturbance;

    Abstract : Phytoplankton mirrors changes in the environment and plays an important role in biogeochemical processes. Phytoplankton dynamics is the outcome of both autogenic succession and external disturbances. READ MORE

  6. 4. Variation in Pseudorchis albida s.l. (Orchidaceae) and Carex capitata s.l. (Cyperaceae) : Morphology, genetic diversity, ecology and systematics

    Author : Lars-Gunnar Reinhammar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Pseudorchis; Carex; morphologic variation; allozymes; immigration history; regeneration niche; biodiversity; ordinations; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; systematisk botanik; Systematic Botany;

    Abstract : In the Scandinavian flora, several species-pairs where one member is an alpine species andthe other is a closely related lowland species, have been described. The aim of this studywas to investigate two such examples, viz. Pseudorchis albida s.s. READ MORE

  7. 5. Microbial Ecology of Granular Sludge

    Author : Raquel Liebana; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high-throughput DNA analysis; sequencing batch reactors; granular structure; wash-out dynamics; aerobic granular sludge; disturbance; fluorescence in-situ hybridization; microbial community dynamics; granulation; reproducibility;

    Abstract : Granular sludge is an efficient and compact biofilm process for wastewater treatment. Despite the well-established methods for granule cultivation, the ecological processes underpinning the microbial community assembly during granulation are poorly understood. READ MORE
