  2. 1. Ecology and evolution of large-scale bird migration patterns : A natural history and comparative study of the migration in common and little ringed plovers

    Author : Linus Hedh; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ringed plover; leap-frog migration; migration speed; migration process; light level geolocator; migration;

    Abstract : Migration distance and seasonal redistribution patterns may vary between and within bird populations. A common pattern is leap-frog migration, in which northerly breeding populations migrate farther and winter south of more southerly breeding populations. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mental health after migration to Sweden : The role of the social determinants of health

    Author : Helena Honkaniemi; Mikael Rostila; Sol Pía Juárez; Srinivasa Vittal Katikireddi; Seeromanie Harding; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mental health; migration; integration; social welfare policy; social determinants of health; survey data; register data; observational design; quasi-experimental design; systematic review; Public Health Sciences; folkhälsovetenskap;

    Abstract : Migrants often experience worse mental health after migration than natives in Sweden. Using survey, register and peer-reviewed published data, the five studies of this thesis explored the mental health variation of different migrant groups settled in Sweden, including by the timing of migration, level of integration and region of origin.

  5. 3. “No Friends but the Mountains” Understanding Population Mobility and Land Dynamics in Iraqi Kurdistan

    Author : Lina Eklund; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; migration; drought; Iraqi Kurdistan; agriculture; land; scale;

    Abstract : The link between population mobility and environmental change is fundamental for our understanding of how future global environmental changes will affect our societies, and also how the increased mobility will change our role in the Earth system. Climate change has been predicted as a major cause of human migration, both voluntary and forced, through for example increased storm and drought frequency, sea level rise, and reduced fresh water availability.

  6. 4. Causes and consequences of individual variation in anti-predator traits

    Author : Kaj Hulthén; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal migration; partial migration; individual differences; predator; personality trait; phenotypic plasticity; inducible defence; mortality risk;

    Abstract : Predation imposes a potent evolutionary force on prey, moulding the evolution of traits and diversification of species, and can furthermore have powerful ecological consequences. We know that different species vary in how they cope with their natural enemies, and, consequently, a huge range of anti-predator defences are displayed in nature. READ MORE

    Abstract : This manuscript focuses on the relationship between coal and the history of the over 300,000 Italian miners who moved to Wallonia, Belgium, from 1946 onwards, in accordance to the State agreement between Italy and Belgium known as “men in exchange for coal.” Notably, I use environmental history of migration to analyze what I define as “the metabolism of coal.
