The Effect of Human Activity on the Welfare of the African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) in Namibia
(Master thesis, 2015)The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) is vital in several African ecosystems, accentuating the importance of conserving them. However, conservation efforts are constantly complicated due to human population growth. ... -
THE EFFECTS OF EXCLUSION OF BROWSING MOOSE ON ABOVE GROUND CARBON STOCKS IN EARLY SUCCESSIONAL STAGES IN BOREAL FORESTS
(Master thesis, 2017)Climate change can occur due to the rising of CO2 in the atmosphere. Understanding factors that can increase atmospheric CO2 is very important to decrease global temperature. There are many publications that investigate ... -
The Effects of Moose (Alces alces) Browsing on Boreal Tree Species in Norway and Quebec
(Master thesis, 2015)The circumpolar boreal forest is important for recreational purposes, timber harvesting, game meat and as a CO2-storage. Biodiversity is important for maintaining these ecosystem services. Many boreal forests are experiencing ... -
The genetic basis of variation in clutch size and onset of laying in a wild population of House Sparrows (Passer domesticus)
(Master thesis, 2016)Understanding the basis of genetic variation is a general goal in evolutionary biology. Towards this goal, the architectures of the standing genetic variation in two life history traits, clutch size and onset of laying, ... -
The Genetics of Basal Metabolic Rate in free-living Populations of House Sparrows (Passer domesticus)
(Master thesis, 2016)Animals must allocate their energy reserves between growth, reproduction and survival. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is a quantitative trait, which can represent the cost of living , and is a key component in the energy ... -
The influence of human induced factors on African elephant (Loxodonta africana) populations in Sub-Saharan Africa
(Master thesis, 2015)Numerous studies have been done on the conservation of the African elephant (Loxodonta africana) yet too few studies have focused on comparing the ultimate factors that influence the African elephant populations. Here, we ...
