consumer attitudes; consumer preferences; cooking; domestic markets; fruits; imports; packaging; product quality; supermarkets; surveys; taste; tomatoes; Northern European region; Sweden
Abstract:
... The tomato is an essential staple of cooking and represents an important product in the fruit and vegetable category in ordinary supermarkets. Although several international studies report that consumers express a strong preference for domestic produce, many northern European countries show relatively low domestic market shares for tomatoes. In the case of Sweden, the share is only 13% of the tota ...

Abstract:
... European hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is a strictly cross-pollinated diploid tree species, which has its northernmost populations in Fennoscandia, and it was one of the first species to recolonize northern Europe after the last ice age. Hazelnut produces edible nuts in Finland but nowadays they are underutilized as food, and currently no breeding programmes exist. In the present study, 300 hazel ...

Abstract:
... Nonanadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exhibit a combination of variation in life history, habitat, and species co-existence matched by few vertebrates. Distributed in eastern North America and northern Europe, habitat ranges from hundreds of metres of river to Europe’s largest lakes. As juveniles, those with access to a lake usually migrate to feed and grow prior to reproduction. Prey such a ...

Abstract:
... Identification of high levels of intraspecific genetic variability is common among assessments of reptiles from the Iberian Peninsula, conforming to the “refugia within refugia” hypothesis. Divergent genetic lineages are often found to be allopatric, or with limited contact or hybrid zones; such zones are more widely reported in Northern Europe, leading to the “melting pots not hotspots” hypothesi ...
