The Benguela Upwelling System (BUS), located between 30 and 20°S, is one of the fundamental high-productivity systems of the world ocean. The BUS has previously been studied in terms of primary productivity and ecology over glacial-interglacial timescales; however, the response and coupling with the benthic environment have received little attention. Here, for the first time, we present a high-res

In seasonally variable environments, phenotypic plasticity in phenology may be critical for adaptation to fluctuating environmental conditions. Using an 18-generation longitudinal dataset from natural damselfly populations, we show that phenology has strongly advanced. Individual fitness data suggest this is likely an adaptive response towards a temperature-dependent optimum. A laboratory experime

Changes in environmental temperature during development can affect growth, metabolism and temperature tolerance of the offspring. We know little about whether such changes remain to adulthood, which is important to understand the links between climate change, development and fitness. We investigated whether phenotypic consequences of the thermal environment in early life remained in adulthood in t

Nowadays organisms encounter not only natural challenges from predators but also significant anthropogenic stressors, such as insecticides, which can profoundly disrupt their normal growth and behavior. However, the knowledge on their potential interactions remains largely unknown, particularly regarding how insecticides may affect predator-prey interactions and prey responses across multiple gene

Det påstås att organisationer som får sin finansiering från en marknad har ett tydligt krav på att anpassa sig efter kundernas behov. Erbjuder de tjänster och/eller produkter som ingen vill ha går de på kort sikt med förlust. Om inget görs väntar på längre sikt konkurs. Långsiktig överlevnad handlar för dessa organisationer om att över lång tid erbjuda det som kunder av olika anledningar anser sig

Every summer the Swedish Department of Agriculture publishes a forecast of the national harvest of 13 key cereal and oilseed crops. The yield of each crop in each region is modeled individually based on weather observations using linear regression and empirically known relationships. This thesis investigates and improves these models. First, the forecasts are replicated along with simulation-based

Energifrågan gällande tillgång, kapacitet och kostnad för el har under de senaste åren blivit en aktualitet i det svenska men även europeiska samhället. Bakgrunden till att energifrågor har blivit angelägna i nuläget är främst en ökad elektrifiering av samhället, ökade kostnader på grund av kriget i Ukraina 2022 och kapaciteten som inte har motsvarat efterfrågan. I samband med en osäkrare omvärld,The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a single-family house can, in the event of a possible crisis when electricity is not available, manage the heating of a house during the worst week of the year when the house is off-grid. Furthermore, to calculate the potential climate impact for the house's energy demand during that week. Thus, three different heating scenarios have been ch

Syfte: Avhandlingen avser, med utgångspunkt i innovation, att undersöka hur storleken på budpremien påverkas vid förvärv inom läkemedels- och bioteknikindustrin på den europeiska marknaden. Metod: Avhandlingen är kvantitativ och antar en deduktiv ansats. Tvärsnittsdata används för den multipla regression som appliceras. Antaganden för OLS testas och justeras efter behov. Vidare tolkas resultaten o

Music’s diverse psychological roles include possible cognitive enhancement, however, results are either insufficient or mixed based on already existing literature. The current interventional study observed the influence of musical stimuli on time perception and sustained attention possibly explained by altered states of consciousness. 30 participants were assigned equally to two different musical

Ämnet jag vill skriva om och undersöka är hur renovering av miljonprogrammet ser ut ur energisynpunkt. Hur energieffektiviserar man i ett fuktsäkert perspektiv(gällande bl.a VVS-system, el, fönster, väggar, grund, tak, fuktspärr m.m.)? Jag hade tänkt göra energianalyser mha Arkitekt- och Konstruktionshandlingarna för loftgångshusen innan och efter ombyggnad, och se över köldbryggor. Jag kommer äve

In this study, vacuum impregnation (VI) was used to investigate the effect of different solutions: sucrose 21 % (w/v), calcium lactate 1 % (w/v), ascorbic acid 0.1 % (w/v), and GABA 0.075 % (w/v) on atmospheric composition, color, and shelf life of packed baby spinach leaves. VI was performed at two different temperatures: 21 C and 7.5 C. The packed, impregnated leaves were stored for 8 days at 21Vegetables and fruits hold a vast amount of air within their structure. Vacuum impregnation is a process used to remove the air from plant tissues and replace it with an external solution. For impregnation, vacuum is applied to the plant tissue helping air to escape through the plant´s pores. Then by restoring the atmospheric pressure, the solution surrounding the plant will penetrate the plant ti

The last decades have seen frequent calls for a more extended evolutionary synthesis (EES) that will supposedly overcome the limitations in the current evolutionary framework with its intellectual roots in the Modern Synthesis (MS). Some radical critics even want to entirely abandon the current evolutionary framework, claiming that the MS (often erroneously labelled “Neo-Darwinism”) is outdated, a

Vassiliki “Betty” Smocovitis has done a thorough and admirable job in highlighting the complex history the Modern Synthesis (MS) or the Evolutionary Synthesis (ES) as she prefers to call it. Her interesting contribution should hopefully increase awareness that the history of evolutionary biology is important even for researchers today who are mainly interested in solving practical questions of mor

Shuker points to some inconsistencies in my terminology about consequence laws in evolutionary biology, specifically that gene flow and recombination are not as easily classified as one gets the impression of after reading Sober (1984). I agree, and I also emphasize that evolutionary biology should not only focus on consequence laws, but also source laws arising from the ecological selective envir

The aim of our study was to experimentally investigate whether it is possible to reduce nuisance growth of filamentous algae in freshwater ecosystems. We used an experimental set-up mimicking a shallow pond system and performed a field investigation in the eutrophic moat of Krapperup castle (Southern Sweden), which exemplifies an extremely impaired ecosystem with ample growth of filamentous green
