To investigate how bacteria cope with this ki

Abstract Organically managed cereal fields have a higher plant diversity compared to conventionally managed fields. The presence and spatial distribution of plant resources may affect the spatial relationships between prey organisms and their predators and could therefore alter the feeding relationships between predators and pest prey. As invertebrate predators play an important role in biologica

Abstract The breeding season of the natterjack toad (Bufo calamita Laurenti 1768), a „prolonged breeder“, lasts up to three months in southern Sweden. However, not all reproducing individuals are present at the breeding sites during the full time span. Thus, some populations can be sub-divided into temporally isolated subpopulations using earlier or later periods of the season for reproduction. T

Securities can be classified in multiple ways. One of the most common ways to classify securities is using Morningstar’s label system. For instance a fund can be Large-Value or Small-Growth. However, these systems have inherit limitations that makes it hard to properly maximize diversification in the selection of a portfolio. In this thesis, we present a method to classify securities that allows f
