Urbanisation is accelerating across the globe, transforming landscapes, presenting organisms with novel challenges, shaping phenotypes and impacting fitness. Urban individuals are claimed to have duller carotenoid-based colouration, compared to their non-urban counterparts, the so-called ‘urban dullness’ phenomenon. However, at the intraspecific level, this generalisation is surprisingly inconsist
In 2022, the United Nations Environmental Assembly (UNEA) adopted resolution 5/14, giving mandate to UN Member States to start negotiations toward an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution. This report delves into the pre-session submissions by states and coalitions for the second (INC-2) and third (INC-3) rounds of negotiations, held in 2023. Once the contents of the docume
Bees are declining, which is worrisome since they both have intrinsic conservation value and play a major role as pollinators in both natural and managed ecosystems. Land use change and lack of suitable habitats are often suggested as driving forces of bee decline. To propose mitigation measures to halt bee decline, it is important to understand how land use relates to bee abundance and diversity,
One of the issues of modern cities is their urban design which is not structured to allow human interaction and promote a feeling of community within their inhabitants. The constant growth and shortages of land are cause to the global housing crisis which requires densification. In the current capitalistic context, urban design becomes just another pawn of this profit making machine, causing gentr
Consumers evaluate each step of their journey, which influences consumer’s expectations for further experiences and future intentions. Accordingly, past experiences are stored in consumers’ memory but each part of the journey will not be remembered. What drives further behaviours and intentions are the events of the experience that are considered more emotional and atypical, also called peaks. The
Delningsekonomi är ett begrepp som används flitigt i den rättsliga debatten. Det har inte undgått någon att Airbnb och Uber utmanar de traditionella logi- och transportbranscherna. Genom att i realtid, på telefonskärmen matcha utbud med efterfrågan har delningsekonomin förenklat livet för många konsumenter. I och med delningsekonomins framväxt uppstår ett flertal intressanta frågor, främst avtals-The sharing economy is a term widely used in the legal debate as of late. In a period of just a few years, companies such as Airbnb and Uber have risen up as challengers on the lodging and transport markets. By offering a real time matching of supply and demand, the sharing economy makes transactions easier for consumers. In light of the sharing economy’s growth, a number of interesting questions
Europeanisation refers to a process through which member states undergo social, economic and political changes to its domestic institutions that align them with EU norms and rules. In essence, it involves not only the adoption of EU policies, laws and regulations, but also incorporates EU governance structures and practices into the logic of domestic institutions. Following the EU’s largest enlarg
This project focuses on understanding creativity and its surroundings, along with the effects it can have on the mind. The goal was to inspire individuals to grow both physically & mentally throughout their creative processes. Research has been done through books, videos, articles, Internet and discussions. As well as an interview at a company about their creative workplace. Other research was
Increase in wildfires has changed parts of the landscape and ecosystems of the Mediterranean region. By using the firecapes approach, this paper aims to establish a connection between wildfires as a natural phenomenon and the political dynamics surrounding land ownership, knowledge, and mitigation. Theoretically, we apply political ecology to contextualize firescapes by examining the historical pr
Background: Traditionally managed semi-natural pastures are recognised for their high biodiversity. One drawback is that these pastures are often low in fodder production and hence rather unprofitable, which may lead to abandonment. Two ways to increase production and profitability and maintain grazing are to (i) offer the grazers supplementary feed, or (ii) co-enclose the semi-natural pasture wit
Tackling biodiversity loss requires not only scaling up financial resources but also improving the governance of how such resources are mobilized, allocated, and accounted for. This paper reviews recent peer-reviewed literature (2019–2023) on biodiversity finance governance, focusing on three interrelated themes: financial instruments and mechanisms, governance structures, and critical and normati
Globally, freshwater ecosystems are threatened by multiple stressors, yet our knowledge of how they interact to affect food web structure remains scant. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a large-scale mesocosm experiment to quantify the single and combined effects of three common anthropogenic stressors: warming, increased nutrient loading, and insecticide pollution, on the network struc
Freshwater blooms of the microcystin-producing (toxigenic) cyanobacterium Microcystis may cause severe damage to human health and the environment. However, toxigenic and non-toxigenic strains co-exist within single blooms, and microcystin concentration in the water varies throughout the season. We hypothesized that strains that produce and do not produce microcystins represent different genotypes.
