    Ethnopharmacological relevance: More than 15,000 angiosperm species are dioecious, i.e., having distinct male and female individual plants. The allocation of resources between male and female plants is different, and also ...

    The resin of Canarium strictum Roxb. is used for rheumatism and asthma; the bark is used as a mosquito repellent. The major compounds in the resin are triterpenoids, but as no studies have been performed on the bark, this ...

    Thermal melanism theory states that dark-colored ectotherm organisms are at an advantage at low temperature due to increased warming. This theory is generally supported for ectotherm animals, however, the function of colors ...
  • Bässler, Claus; Heilmann-Clausen, Jacob; Andrew, Carrie; Boddy, Lynne; Büntgen, Ulf; Diez, Jeffrey; Heegaard, Einar; Egli, Simon; Gange, Alan C.; Halvorsen, Rune; Kauserud, Håvard; Kirk, Paul M.; Krisai-Greilhuber, Irmgard; Kuyper, Thomas W.; Nordén, Jenni; Senn-Irlet, Beatrice; Krah, Franz-Sebastian (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    Recent global warming affects species compositions at an unprecedented rate. To predict climate-induced changes in species assemblages, a better understanding of the link between species occurrence and climate is needed. ...
  • Mair, Louise; Harrison, Philip J.; Jönsson, Mari; Löbel, Swantje; Nordén, Jenni; Siitonen, Juha; Lãmås, Tomas; Lundström, Anders; Snäll, Tord (Journal article / Tidsskriftartikkel / PublishedVersion; Peer reviewed, 2017)
    The extensive spatial and temporal coverage of many citizen science datasets (CSD) makes them appealing for use in species distribution modeling and forecasting. However, a frequent limitation is the inability to validate ...
  • Støstad, Hanna Nyborg (Doctoral thesis / Doktoravhandling, 2018)
    Despite the similar function of all sperm cells – to fertilise the egg – there is extraordinary diversity in sperm shape and length across taxa. This thesis aims to improve our understanding of how this diversity has ...
