ACCESS TO URBAN COOL AND GREEN SPACES FOR OLD ADULTS IN GOTHENBURG – A GIS-BASED ANALYSIS OF RADIANT HEAT
Klein, Robert (2023-01-19)Old adults are particularly vulnerable against heat stress. Considering the ageing society and the projected increase of heat events, planning for heat-resilient urban environments for old adults will become increasingly ... -
ARCTIC MYCORRHIZAL INTERACTIONS UNDER CLIMATE CHANGE
Minas, Otto (2022-07-06)The Arctic is experiencing climate change at an extreme rate, affecting both the rates of plant growth and nutrient cycling. Due to the changes in temperature, but also in nutrient cycling, with increased nutrient ... -
ARCTIC PLANT COMMUNITIES RISE WITH TEMPERATURE Plant functional traits as a tool to predict global climate change
Sundell, Helena (2022-07-06)Global warming occurs at a rate at least three-fold in the arctic regions compared to the rest of the world. Here, plant community functional traits were assessed in response to experimental warming in three arctic areas ... -
Återhämtning efter värmestress – vid vilka förutsättningar är återhämtningen som mest effektiv hos den tropiska trädarten Maesa lanceolata
Holmberg, Vilma (2022-12-02)Global uppvärmning är ett faktum, därmed blir värmeextremer allt vanligare. Den stigande temperaturen utsätter växter i tropiska klimat för värmestress, som kan skada fotosystem II och därmed inaktivera fotosyntesen. För ... -
Development of osmo- and appetite regulation during transfer of smolt from freshwater to increasing salinities
Hellesten, Jonna (2023-01-26)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is common in Scandinavian aquaculture and must be transferred from freshwater to seawater to grow properly. Despite being assessed as ready smolts, meaning they have gone through the physiological ... -
Differences in velocity between the sexes and stages of courtship in a dance fly
Myllyaho, Filip (2022-02-17)Dance flies (Diptera: Empididae: Empidinae) are famous for their elaborate mating behaviour, which can be broken down to three distinct stages in adults: hunting, swarming, and mating. In many species, males hunt for prey ... -
EFFECT OF ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING MIXTURES AND CHEMICALS ON THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RATE OF ZEBRAFISH LARVAE
van Iersel, Lieke (2022-08-08)Chemicals affecting the endocrine system, so called endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC’s), have been steadily increasing in the environment over the last 40 years. EDCs are harmful chemicals since they can act through ... -
Effect of suspended sediment on embryos and larvae of the cold‐water coral Lophelia pertusa
Havsblad, Charlie (2022-09-13)The cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (syn. Desmophyllum pertusum) provides importanthabitats in deep-sea ecosystems, allowing for a biodiversity similar to that of tropical coral reefs. Anthropogenic activities like ... -
Effects of marine contaminant mixtures on the copepod genus Pseudocalanus. How ambient contaminant mixtures affect mortality, food intake and fecal pellet production.
Fenske, Elisabeth (2022-10-27)Chemicals are present in almost every part of human society and their benefits to our everyday life are undeniable. Besides those benefits, chemicals are known to cause harm to both human health and the environment. ... -
Endophytic fungi in living trees - are communities affected more by tree species, tree age, or geographic origin?
Källman, Lisen (2022-08-16)Endophytic fungi are ubiquitous in living vascular plants and have been identified in most terrestrial environments. The endophytes may have various ecological roles such as commensals, symbionts and latent invaders. Woody ... -

Fluctuating pH simulating natural variability modulates larval growth for Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis
Anderson, Bryn (2022-08-05)Ocean acidification (OA) is the downward trend of ocean pH mainly resulting from the absorption of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from anthropogenic sources. pH of the open ocean is expected to drop to 7.7 by the end of ... -
HAZARD ASSESSMENT OF 1 932 INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS REGISTERED WITHIN REACH
Hellohf, Andreas (2022-08-08)This report was conducted to examine if industrial chemicals present a hazard to the aquatic environment in Europe. Industrial chemicals produced within or imported to the European Union are regulated according to the REACH ... -
Holocene vegetation change and its correlates in fennoscandia
Infanger, Raphaela (2022-10-21)Climatic and anthropogenic legacy has differently impacted vegetation and its community composition. To determine the extent and origin of changes across Fennoscandia, representative regions were defined that entailed ... -
MEDIA REPRESENTATION OF AQUACULTURE IN SWEDEN
Sutherland, Jordan (2022-08-30)Aquaculture is a recurring topic of controversy among public groups, often visible through news media representation. The media is an important source of information and communication, that both influences and reflects ... -
