SPECIES DELIMITATION IN GENIPA (RUBIACEAE) USING INTEGRATIVE TAXONOMY
(2022-08-29)The genus Genipa L. is a widespread, lowland, Neotropical lineage of trees in the coffeefamily, Rubiaceae. There is long-standing disagreement on the number of species thatshould be recognised in the genus. ... -
Endophytic fungi in living trees - are communities affected more by tree species, tree age, or geographic origin?
(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 ... -
MINERAL CARRYOVER FROM SHELLED MUSSEL MEAL IN THE SPOTTED WOLFFISH (ANARHICHAS MINOR). Potential of dietary mineral supplementation on growth, stress and health.
(2022-08-16)The potential of Swedish aquaculture is currently not fulfilled as Sweden is still a net importer of fish with low production and narrow species diversity. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in expanding ... -
Can cellular osmolarity be used as a predictor for drought tolerance in common bean?
(2022-08-16)Common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, is a protein and nutrient rich food source grown around the world. Rwanda has one of the highest per capita consumption rates in the world. With climate change threatening food security, ... -
CAN LEAF LEVEL GAS EXCHANGE BE USED AS A PREDICTOR FOR DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN COMMON BEAN (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS)?
(2022-08-16)This study aimed to examine drought tolerance among a variety of landraces of the species Phaseolus vulgaris to discover whether leaf level gas exchange can be used as a predictor for drought tolerance. Beans of different ... -

(2022-08-16)Den europeiska ålen, Anguilla anguilla, är en nattaktiv fiskart som under sitt liv vandrar, tur och retur, från Sargassohavet till sötvattensdrag i Europa och norra Afrikas inland. Ålen är rödlistad som akut hotad (CR) ... -
EFFECT OF ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING MIXTURES AND CHEMICALS ON THE OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RATE OF ZEBRAFISH LARVAE
(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 ... -
