  2. 1. Urban shades of green : Current patterns and future prospects of nature conservation in urban landscapes

    Author : Sara Borgström; Regina Lindborg; Sara Cousins; Thomas Elmqvist; Christer Nilsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : urbanisation; nature conservation; urban planning; urban systems; nature reserves; Sweden; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

    Abstract : Urban nature provides local ecosystem services such as absorption of air pollutants, reduction of noise, and provision of places for recreation, and is therefore crucial to urban sustainable development. Nature conservation in cities is also part of the global effort to halt biodiversity decline. READ MORE

  4. 2. Habitat compensation in nature-like fishways : Effects on benthos and fish

    Author : Stina Gustafsson; Olle Calles; Martin Österling; Jostein Skurdal; Paul Giller; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biocanal; biodiversity; brown trout; freshwater pearl mussel; functional feeding groups; habitat heterogeneity; large woody debris; macroinvertebrates; PIT-tag; salmonids; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : The construction of nature-like fishways has become an increasingly common measure to restore longitudinal connectivity in streams and rivers affected by hydroelectric development. These fishways also have the potential to function as habitat compensation measures when running waters have been degraded or lost. READ MORE

  5. 3. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Northern Sweden : with special emphasis on molecular genetics

    Author : Stellan Mörner; Åke Hjalmarson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; genetics; autonomic nervous system; familial amyloid polyneuropathy; echocardiography; Epidemiology; epidemiologi;

    Abstract : Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heterogeneous, often familial disease, characterized by cardiac hypertrophy, predominantly affecting the interventricular septum. To date, no study has systematically analysed the genetic and phenotypic aspects of the disease in a Swedish population. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Macroinvertebrate Community in a Nature-like Fishway with Habitat Compensation Properties

    Author : Stina Gustafsson; Olle Calles; Martin Österling; Jostein Skurdal; John Brittain; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nature-like fishway; biodiversity; macroinvertebrates; functional feeding groups; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Nature-like fishways are often constructed to restore connectivity in streams exploited for hydropower. They also have the potential to compensate for important habitats that have been degraded or lost. READ MORE

  7. 5. Information on recreation and tourism in spatial planning in the Swedish mountains : methods and need for knowledge

    Author : Tuomas Vuorio; Mittuniversitetet; []
