Bambi i byen: økologien til rådyr i urbane områder. Moss og Råde kommune, Viken fylke
(Master thesis, 2024)Voksende urbanisering fører til fragmentering- og tap av habitat, som medfører at hjortevilt må oppsøke nye hjemmeområder. Økt mattilgang og lavere predasjonstrussel, driver flere rådyr (Capreolus capreolus) til å øke ... -
Comparison of eDNA sampling strategies for detection of the myxozoan parasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae and two salmonid fish hosts
(Master thesis, 2024)New molecular techniques have replaced and complemented traditional methodologies, which are applied to determine species composition and richness, as well as some other components of biodiversity based on species composition. ... -
Dendroecological potential of two Neotropical tree species: climate-growth relationship in the Dry Forest of Guatemala
(Master thesis, 2024)Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are biodiverse yet endangered ecosystems facing significant threats from various factors including climate change. Analysing the long-term effects of climatic conditions on tree growth ... -
Effekten av damping på Phytophthora fragariae og andre Oomyceter
(Master thesis, 2024)Phytophthora fragariae og andre oomyceter er en viktig del av jordsammensetningen. Mange oomyceter er patogene og i denne oppgaven ser jeg på hvordan jorddamping vil kunne påvirke Phytophthora fragariae, men også andre ... -
Exploring gastropod presence along an altitudinal gradient in reindeer habitat: implications for infection with brainworm disease.
(Master thesis, 2024)The emergence of diseases, such as cerebrospinal elaphostrongylosis caused by brain worms or Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), as a critical threat to wildlife has accentuated the necessity of understanding disease dynamics ... -
