Abstract:

Global land-use change and industrialisation has driven biodiversity declines and impaired ecosystem functioning. Recently, there have been large-scale efforts to not only halt habitat loss but create and restore habitat on formerly managed (e.g. agricultural) land. However, although the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on biodiversity are well understood, our understanding of how biodiversity responds to habitat created in a patchy configuration is not. In particular, little is known about the relative importance of local (e.g. patch size) vs landscape scales (e.g. amount of habitat

La diversité reflète le fait que les membres d’une communauté diffèrent selon certaines caractéristiques, liées à l'origine ethnique, au statut socio-économique ou à la culture.

Abstract:

Human-altered environments have expanded rapidly in the past decades and made a huge impact on living organisms. Inhabiting in such a habitat can modify different traits in animals, allowing for a better adaptation to these human-altered environments. In the first part of this thesis I investigated patterns of recent (contemporary) adaptation to urban habitats, focusing on the role of behavioural, genetic and epigenetic variation in great tits. In the second part of the thesis I investigated patterns of adaptation to human-made habitats in a larger time-scale, focusing on the origin and expans

Abstract:

The loss of biodiversity is one of the most urgent crises which the world faces. There have been many known extinctions and probably many more unnoticed extinctions in recent decades and the number of species at risk of extinction is increasing. Extinction is the final consequence of serious environmental and/or genetic stress for a population and the species which are most likely to become extinct in the near future are those which, according to the mCN Red List, are the most highly endangered ones at the present time. It is still inadequately clear why some species become endangered while ot

Abstract:

When too many afford too little, one could claim that a housing market is malfunctioning. The United Kingdom and Sweden suffer from housing shortages in the major cities, creating low affordability, great strain on lower income groups and worse foundation for social sustainability. Considering matters such as different housing histories, political ideologies and policies, Sweden and the UK may seem quite unalike at first, resulting in expectations for two ‘distinct’ housing shortages. However, when a more thoroughly examination is made, it is possible the situation may appear different. Perhap

Emerging infectious diseases (EID) are increasing in frequency with zoonoses originating in wildlife posing the greatest threat to global health. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HP AI) strain H5N1 is the most expensive and widespread zoonotic disease to emerge recently. First detected in China in 1996, the virus subsequently spread across Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East resulting in tens of millions of animal deaths, primarily poultry as well as 329 fatal human cases.

As the breeding bird communities and population numbers have not been widely studied in Lithuania, there is not much local literature on the subject.

From 1995 the Lithuanian Ornithological Society have been systematically making bird breeding population survey when usung point count methodology. This was the first attempt to computer and analyze the data of the point count studies made by the Lithuanian Ornithological Society in 1996-2004. During the point count survey 158 species of birds were recorded. Am

Abstract:

Phenotypic traits that vary geographically within species are commonly assumed to represent local adaptations to different environments. In order for local adaptation to evolve by natural selection, three conditions must be met: (1) traits must vary geographically, (2) local variants of traits must provide a fitness advantage (increased survival or reproductive success) within the local environment, and (3) local variants of traits must be heritable. In chapter two, we review evidence for local adaptation in birds. Geographic variation among populations is nearly ubiquitous, yet experimental t

I used an information-theoretic approach to rank and select models describing effects of landscape and local-scale habitat variables on grassland songbird abundance and occurrence.

Bird species diversity and abundance trends in urban areas can provide evidence to predict the relative importance of local bird habitat under different landscape contexts.
