Amphibian larvae are plastic in many traits. Can plasticity buffer population divergence, so that local adaptation is more common in non-plastic traits? I argue that this may be the case for adaptive plastic responses. Tadpoles of Rana arvalis are shown to alter their tail depth plastically as a response to predation risk; this is a truly adaptive response. Tail depths in the field (population and
Popular Abstract in Icelandic Landnám á jökulskerjum Plöntur hafa lengi verið taldar nauðsynlegar til að dýr geti numið land en þessi sýn er að breytast því rannsóknir hafa sýnt að smádýr nema oft land á undan plöntum. Landnám bæði plantna og dýra getur hafist um leið og nýtt land myndast en til að landnám takist þurfa nokkrir þættir að fara saman. Þau verða að komast á staðinn og þegar þangað erThe classical view of primary community assembly is that colonisation by plants is essential before invertebrates can establish. It has been recognised, however, that invertebrates can establish before plants, and that they may be important in the first steps of community assembly. Plant succession is well studied but assembly of invertebrates and how their dispersal abilities affect the community
Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is a key enzyme in adipose tissue that hydrolyses stored fat (triacylglycerol). The activity of HSL is under strict hormonal and neural control. Lipolytic agents, such as catecholamines, increase the cAMP levels, resulting in an activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), which in turn phosphorylates and activates HSL. This thesis describes the structural orga
A suicide attempt is the best known predictor of completed suicide. It has long been assumed that most suicide attempts are the results of stress. The aim of this thesis was to examine some stress related peptides and their relations to the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis, diagnoses and temperament in a heterogeneous group of suicide attempters shortly after a suicide attempt and at foll
Internet Metaphors and Norms To what extent is digital “openness” also creating a modern “Panopticon”? I.e. to what extent is the conceptual imaginary of relevance for the legitimacy of modern data practices in terms of privacy? This paper argues that conceptual battles around what the Internet is and the digital development means are significant battles. The metaphorical descriptions of the inteInternet Metaphors and Norms.

The fetoplacental circulation is a low pressure system with a high vascular prostacyclin to thromboxane (Pc/Tx)synthesis ratio. In intrauterin growth restriction (IUGR) and diabetes the prostanoid balance may be altered. AIMS: To investigate relationships between umbilicoplacental vascular prostanoid synthesis (by incubation of vessel samples), circulatory changes (by Doppler velocimetry of umbili
Insulin stimulation of rat adipocytes results in phosphorylation and activation of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B), a key enzyme in the antilipolytic signalling pathway of this hormone. In this thesis, the site phosphorylated in PDE3B upon stimulation of rat adipocytes with insulin and/or the beta-adrenergic agonist, isoproterenol is identified. In addition, upstream components
