Abstract:
Sexual size dimorphism in ruminants is associated with social and (or) habitat segregation, while monomorphic species often live alone, in monogamous pairs, or in mixed-sex groups. Most research on sexual differences in behaviour has been done on sexually size-dimorphic ruminants, whereas little is known about monomorphic species. We tested the activity budget hypothesis which predicts that similar-sized individuals should have similar activity budgets, while dissimilarly sized individuals should differ in their behaviours. We studied African oryx ( Oryx gazella (L., 1758)), which are size-monomorphic, to investigate how age, sex, or reproductive state affect their foraging behaviour. We expected that males and females have similar activity budgets, except for lactating females who were expected to spend slightly more time foraging. Younger, smaller animals were predicted to differ in their activity budgets from adults, owing to high energy demands. We predicted that air temperature, vegetation height, and group sizes would be more important in shaping activity budgets and feeding rates than sex or reproductive differences. The sexes did not differ in their behaviour, while subadults spent less time active than adults. Temperature and vegetation height significantly affected their behaviour. We discuss the importance of environmental, as well as intrinsic, factors when studying sexual differences in behaviour and habitat use.

Abstract:
The distribution of the Arabian oryx Oryx leucoryx had declined markedly by the time European explorers documented distributions, and the species became extinct in the wild by the mid 1970s. Consequently, historical distribution records may be unreliable indicators of current habitat suitability for reintroductions. In this study diurnal behaviour of Arabian oryx was recorded within a central Saudi Arabian reintroduction site. Oryx were less active on warmer days due to an increase in shading (resting in shade) at the expense of feeding time; there was an inverse relationship between temperature and feeding. During hot conditions (maximum ambient temperature >40°C) some individuals spent <2 hours feeding during the day, compared with an average of 4.8 hours during cooler weather. This suggests the importance of shade trees to permit year-round occupancy in reintroduction sites. Selection of sites according to documented historical distribution may focus on tree-less areas, probably formerly part of the winter range. Absence of shade could result in migration out of the reserve, into areas where oryx risk being shot.

Abstract:
This essay explores the theme of deep ecology in Margaret Atwood’s novel Oryx and Crake. It analyzes how the novel deals with the topics of environmental disasters and the apocalypse. It describes humanity’s effect on the planet and how the inventions of the Crakers and the BlyssPluss pill can be seen as good things. It argues that Crake can be seen as the savior of this new and improved world that he creates and that the human species’ annihilation is the only way.
Den här uppsatsen utforskar tema såsom ekokritik och djupekologi i Margaret Atwoods roman Oryx and Crake. Den analyserar hur romanen behandlar  ämnena miljökatastrofer och apokalypsen. Den beskriver människans effekt på planeten och hur uppfinningar såsom Crakers och BlyssPluss pillret kan vara bra saker. Vidare argumenterar den att Crake kan vara vår räddare för denna nya och förbättrade värld som han har skapat och hur förintelsen av människan är den enda rätta vägen.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with intraspecific competition among damselfly larvae, and on the behaviour and ecology of adults. Pyrrhosoma nymphula (Sulzer) was the subject of the work on adult emergence and behaviour at two ponds in Cheshire, while larvae of Ischnura elegans (van der Linden) were used in laboratory competition studies. An asymmetry was found in the way interference competition acts when small and large larvae of I. elegans were contained together with unlimited prey. Small larvae suffered significantly reduced development rates and size increases at the moult in the presence of large larvae, but similar reductions were not apparent when small larvae were combined with like-instar larvae, or when large larvae were combined with small larvae. In field populations, larvae which have been adversely ..rfected by competition for food or fishing sites ".", be smaller and emerge later than competitively successful larvae. Adult size and seasonal occurrence may have a strong influence on both male and female reproductive success. The emergence of P. nymphula was studied at two adjacent ponds. The emergence from both ponds appeared less well synchronised than might have been expected. There is likely to be a trade-off between the need to emerge around the same time as conspecifics in order to achieve a full rep.roRuctive potential, and the expression of temporal variation arising in part frony~petition. Newly emerged adults from one pond were significantly larger and emerged earlier than those from the other pond. This may have been due to differences in prey availability and distribution, and to temperature differences. A decline in size of newly emerged adults through the season was found at both ponds. During periods of bad weather, numbers of individuals emerging were substantially reduced. Those individuals still attempting emergence presumably did so because of the progression of metamorphosis. Quantification of emergence mortality attributed to different factors was attempted. Mortality was found to be highest after a sudden deterioration in the weather. Mean daily mortality, expressed as a percentage of the total daily emergence, was calculated to be 27.93%. There was no evidence of density-dependent mortality at emergence. Recovery of individuals marked at emergence and when mature was found to be low. For mature adults, this was attributed predominantly to dispersal to nearby water bodies. There was some indication that there was a higher mortality of smaller adults in the immature and reproductive stages of the life-history. Fewer females revisited the ponds than males which led to the estimation of female survivorship being considerably lower than that of males. A large increase in weight of females from emergence to maturity suggests that they may amass clutches of eggs over several days and thus not visit the ponds on every day of their reproductive life. In addition, mortality of females may be higher than that of males as a result of predation during oviposition. For male P. nymphula, size was shown to have no effect on the ~:)Utcomeof territorial disputes.which were settled by a simple residency asymmetry. SIze was also found to be unrelated to the total number of observed matings a male achieved, and the number of days a male spent at the ponds, although the latter may have been obscured by the low return of marked males. The relation of size to longevity could not be studied. Success in mating and in territorial disputes was found to be positively related for resident males. This was probably due to the amount of time spent at the ponds within a day. Late emerging female P. nymphula visiting the ponds later in the season laid smaller clutches of smaller eggs than those arriving early in the season, irrespective of size. Clutch size is likely to be strongly related to the inter-clutch interval and thus the pattern of sunny and cloudy days through the season.

Full text
Abstract:
Acanthodactylus boskianus is a common lizard species frequently occurring in different habitats throughout Egypt. Both males and females have well developed epidermal femoral glands. This species is territorial and males acquire dominance hierarchies in captivity. The current work included three different techniques to study the importance of femoral gland secretions in communication and signal evolution of A. boskianus. These are behaviour, chemical and DNA analyses techniques. Behavioural bioassays in different experiments showed that the femoral gland secretions are used in communication between the lizards. Communication includes possible roles in mate choice, agonistic behaviour between potential competitor males, and chemical trailing of scent pheromones. These behavioural results reflect the chemical results which showed the chemical variability between male ages, sexes, and allopatric populations. Chemical analysis of the secretions resulted in the identification of natural compounds not previously reported in reptiles, glycerolmonoethers and monoglycerides. The secretions seem to be used as scent pheromones, which are involved in signal evolution processes resulting in divergence of the chemical fingerprints of the gland secretion between allopatric populations.

Abstract:
The CAP support is mostly focused on the technological modernization of farms, linked with production intensification, and weakly focused on the farms prosperity and resilience. As a result farmers and managers of agricultural companies are only a slightly motivated to produce added value and high quality food products, to use short food supply chains addressing constantly changing consumer needs, or to pay much attention on issues related to climate change. The paper findings are based on the Lithuanian case study carried out as a part of the international research project “Rethinking the links between farm modernization, rural development and resilience in a world of increasing demands and finite resources” (RETHINK). The Lithuanian case study was determining farmers’ behaviour and causal factors in decision-making. The research based on the positive research paradigm, case study, content and descriptive analysis, empirical study methods (answers of two groups of experts experts-professionals and experts-farmers), logical and systematical reasoning, graphic presentation, abstracts and other methods. The present paper is examining the impact of political factors on prosperity and resilience on farms and agricultural companies. The political factors have the highest impact for prosperity of the farms and agricultural companies in Lithuania (as compared to the technical – entrepreneurial, ethical - social factors, and intangible values). The support from the EU and the national funds is not fully in line with the current concept of farms’ modernization and agricultural innovation. The public policy influence on the competitiveness of the agricultural sector is more strengthening than weakening. The results show the main elements that farmers believe should be included in the new concept of rural prosperity, as well as the main strategies adopted to reach prosperity divided into the five sub dimensions: development of the rural social infrastructure and implementation of information technologies; strong self-governance, social awareness and partnership; high culture of life and communication; rural employment and job creation in rural areas, population welfare; economic and social viability, ecology and environmental security of the countryside.

Abstract:
Potentially toxic metals (PTMs) dispersed within catchments from land-based sources pose serious, long-term threats to aquatic ecology and human health. Their chemical state or form affects the potential for transportation and bioavailability and ultimate environmental fate. PTMs are transported either as (1) particulates adsorbed onto sediments, or 2) solutes in groundwater and open channel flow. Cohesive sediment occupies a major part of the world’s coastlines. PTMs are readily sorbed onto clay/silt and consequently particulate-borne PTMs dominate in estuaries and coastal waters. Sediments also represent a considerable ‘sink’ of contaminants which can be periodically remobilized. The role of suspended particulates in the uptake, release, and transport of heavy metals is thus a crucial link in understanding PTM dispersion in these environments. Cohesive sediment is subject to flocculation which dictates the behaviour of suspended sediment. PTM partitioning, flocculation and particulate-borne PTM dynamics are spatially and temporally variable in response to a complex array of inter-related physical and chemical factors exhibited within tidal catchments. However, knowledge of the dispersion and accumulation of both particulate and soluble forms of PTMs within cohesive coastal catchments is limited by little understanding of the association of PTMs with flocculated sediments and their subsequent deposition. This study investigates the influence of changing hydrodynamics and salinities to reveal the partitioning coefficients (Kp) and PTM settling flux (PTMSF) for different spatial and temporal locations within an idealized mesotidal catchment. The data show that the ratio of soluble and particulate-borne PTMs are dependent on salinity and flocculation, and that PTMSF is dependent upon partitioning and flocculation dynamics. Kp is largely dictated by salinity, but floc size and suspended particulate matter concentration (SPMC) are also influential, particular for PTMs with low chloride complexation and in freshwater. PTMSF is a function of Kp, floc size and settling velocity and varies by up to 3 orders of magnitude in response to changing environmental conditions. Findings will improve our ability to predict and monitor contaminant transport for PTMs generated by industries such as agriculture, mining, fisheries, aquaculture & marine engineers. They can be incorporated in existing decision making tools, and help improve numerical modelling parameteristion, to maintain environmental quality standards and limit the impacts of bioavailability of metals in aquatic environment.
