Effects of Continuously Varying Landscapes on the Evolution of Cryptic Polymorphism

Tänk på en ödla som behöver gömma sig från en fågel, annars blir den uppäten. Det skulle vara klokt för ödlan att ha en färg som gör att den inte syns så bra i landskapet. Tyvärr är naturliga landskap sällan enhetliga — bakgrunden ser olika ut på olika platser. Ödlan måste alltså bestämma sig om den ska ha en färg som är specialiserad för en viss typ av bakgrund, eller en färg som ger ett hyfsat bIn a changing heterogeneous landscape camouflage becomes a less effective defence for a mobile prey item because the prey needs to move across backgrounds where it is more visible to the predator. Often, some subhabitats host more resources than others, adding an additional complexity. The prey can thus either try to generally match many subhabitats or specialize to one habitat type, often resulti

Den vaga hållbarheten - En fallstudie om detaljplaneringens implementering av social hållbarhet inom Fokus Skärholmen

Social sustainability has increasingly become a central objective in Swedish urban planning. However, previous research highlights that its vague definition has led to diverse interpretations of its meaning and thus varying efforts in planning. This study examines how “Fokus Skärholmen” has implemented social sustainability in its detailed planning, focusing on physical measures linked to the conc

Ett kallt regn kommer att falla ner - Stockholm stads praktiska skyfallsarbete

Cloudbursts and flooding that results from such intense rainfall constitute a growing risk as climate change intensifies precipitation patterns. This is a growing issue that municipalities can no longer ignore; they must actively address it. The issue of cloudbursts is highly relevant given the future climate risks we face, and it is important that Swedish cities are prepared. In this context, the

Assembling Co-presence: Exploring the Socio-Material Dynamics of Social Interaction in Malmö

The thesis explores the agency of material artefacts in shaping co-presence and facilitating social interaction in three central squares in Malmö, Sweden: Stortorget, Lilla Torg, and Gustav Adolfs Torg. Drawing on a relational approach to space and Actor-Network Theory, the study combines structured and unstructured observations to analyse patterns of mobility, activity, and interaction. Findings

Satellite galaxies, stellar streams and the nature of dark matter

Dwarf galaxies are perfect candidates for studying dark matter due to their abundance in our Universe, low baryonic content and diverse appearance. They are considered as one of the most important probes of cosmological models, such as the most accepted ΛCDM, and are particularly important in the context of evolution of galactic environments. Satellite galaxies and their remnants can give us furth
