  Daniel, Morgenroth (2021-11-26)

  Teleost fishes have colonized almost every aquatic habitat on earth and exhibit adaptations that allow them to thrive in environments with very diverse physico-chemical properties. One fundamental environmental variable ...

• Effects of carbon dioxide and ozone on wheat crop yield and grain quality 

  Malin, Broberg (2021-10-05)

  Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and ozone (O3) have steadily increased since the industrial revolution. CO2 and O3 directly affect plant physiology, CO2 being an essential substrate for photosynthesis, ...

• Climate Change sensitivity of Photosynthesis and Respiration in Tropical Trees 

  Mujawamariya, Myriam (2021-05-12)

  Tropical climate is getting warmer, with more pronounced dry periods in large areas. The productivity and climate feedbacks of future tropical forests depend on the ability of trees to acclimate their physiological processes, ...

• Evolutionary genetics and consequences of inbreeding in sand lizards (Lacerta agilis) 

  Bererhi, Badreddine (2021-05-04)

  Inbreeding is a well-known phenomenon in evolutionary and conservation biology. In the 19th century, Charles Darwin demonstrated the detrimental effects of inbreeding in plants, followed by over a century of extensive ...

• Interspecific Interactions between Native Brown Trout and Invasive Brook Trout: Insights into Behaviour and Morphology 

  Lovén Wallerius, Magnus (2021-04-28)

  The introduction of non-native species represents a global threat to ecosystems and biodiversity. In Europe, the introduction of the invasive brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) has led to species displacement and local ...

• Advancing Evolutionary Biology: Genomics, Bayesian Statistics, and Machine Learning 

  Andermann, Tobias (2020-11-20)

  During the recent decades the field of evolutionary biology has entered the era of big data, which has transformed the field into an increasingly computational discipline. In this thesis I present novel computational method ...

• Syntesrapport: Östersjölaxens hälsa 

  Asker, Noomi (2019)

• Taxonomy and Systematics of Thelephorales – Glimpses Into its Hidden Hyperdiversity 

  Svantesson, Sten (2020-10-22)

  The order Thelephorales is a widespread group of many thousands of species of ecologically important, ectomycorrhizal fungi, of which only a fraction have been described to date. Most species are corticioid (skin-like) and ...

• Strong light-matter interaction and its consequences on molecular photophysics
