Microbial interactions can unlock remarkable chemical diversity. When fungi encounter competitors, their metabolism can change dramatically, activating biosynthetic pathways and producing secondary metabolites, pigments …
Hedgehogs are small mammals that roam great distances in urban or near-urban areas, foraging at night and visiting gardens. During 2025 and 2026 our …
Bees and other small insects routinely travel many kilometers to find food. How do these animals travel one million times their own body length …
Many fungal species of the genus Trichoderma live in symbiosis with plant roots. The fungus produces substances that stimulate plant growth and immune system …
Fungi are often a forgotten layer of biodiversity in ecosystems, as they tend to spend their lives mainly out of human sight. This might …
Climate warming is driving rapid shrub expansion across Arctic and sub-Arctic ecosystems, altering vegetation dynamics and ecosystem functioning. Shrubs can affect soil microbial composition …
Migratory birds that fly during the day and night- time tend to fly at much higher altitudes during the day. These high-altitude flights may …
Several master’s projects in the physiology and behavior of avian heat tolerance We are interested in understanding why individual birds differ in their physiological responses to heat stress and how …
We are offering projects for motivated Master’s students that will investigate the ecological and genetic basis of colour polymorphism in the shrill carder bee …
Over the past 70 years, agricultural landscapes and cropping systems have simplified in the EU, leading to environmental externalities and expansion of input-based agriculture …
Main goal: The main goal of the project is to understand how pore scale fungal calcium carbonate precipitation contributes to material properties. Description: Concrete …
Join Our Field Research Team This Spring on Öland! 🌿🐦 We are looking for up to two enthusiastic internship students to join us for …
We are seeking a Master’s student for a 30, 45, or 60 credit thesis opportunity starting Summer 2026 to explore habitat-sharing among wild pollinators …
We are seeking a Master’s student for a 30, 45, or 60 credit thesis opportunity starting Spring / Summer 2026 to explore the relationship …
Much like us, when a bird is sick, it reduces activity, stops eating and loses weight. This is a core part of the immune …
I am searching for a master student that would like to do their master thesis project with me, possibly Ola Olsson, and Anne-Maarit Hekkala …
Increasing evidence suggests that the community of microbes located within the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates – the “gut microbiome” – is a crucial determinant …
Climate warming is especially pronounced in Arctic regions, where ecosystems are experiencing stronger and faster changes than the global average. This leads not only …
Do plants living in contrasting climates carry genetic signatures of adaptation? This project investigates two natural populations of Iris atropurpurea growing under Mediterranean and …
