We have previously found empirical evidence for antagonistic coevolution between the sex chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster (see Lund-Hansen et al 2021, https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2003359118) and are …
Birds observed outside their normal distribution range, vagrants, have fascinated bird watchers for more than a century. The causes behind vagrancy are probably many …
The uptake of pollinator-friendly farming practices has been promoted as a tool to fight the decline of wild pollinators in agricultural areas. However, for …
The intriguing realm of porifera, known as sponges, beckons exploration in molecular biology. As among the most primitive multicellular organisms, sponges provide crucial insights …
The dynamic world of porifera, commonly known as sponges, presents a captivating avenue for exploration within molecular biology. Sponges, considered among the most primitive …
During evolution, plants have acquired systems enabling them to adapt to adverse environmental conditions, including responses to mechanical signals or ‘touching’. Plants use such …
The Italian sparrow is a hybrid species, resulting from the hybridization of Spanish sparrow and House sparrow. While superficially similar, these species differ in …

I Vombsjösänkans pil- och poppelpark (VPP) odlas dessa båda trädslag i parcellförsök av varierande storlek. De båda trädslagens kronskikt är helt olika. Poppeln har …
Birds maintain a constant body temperature, sometimes more than 50°C above air temperature, which is energetically expensive. During migration, large distances are covered, and …
Pollinators in agricultural landscapes suffer from an increasingly intensive agriculture and loss of semi-natural habitat, which has resulted in lack of flower resources that …
Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) are long-lived migratory seabirds and constitutethe largest tern species in the world. We are currently looking for 2 dedicated master’s …
Our projects aim to determine how insecticides can alter insect behaviour by tracking animal behaviour inside and outside of a virtual reality environment. We …
Our group monitors insect activity with Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) to assess pollinators' diversity and distribution. In this thesis work, you will be …
