1. Simulating Mobility of Large Population using Mobile Application Data
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknikAbstract : Understanding people’s travel patterns and knowing the frequency of their travel activities provide important insights for effective transport management and infrastructure planning. While traditional travel surveys have historically contributed to this valuable information, they come with shortcomings such as being expensive to collect, easily outdated, and having short time coverage.

3. Associations between body size polymorphism in Arctic charr and benthic invertebrate communities – clues to mechanisms for population differentiation?
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesAbstract : Many fish populations in the north have divided into coexisting ecotypes that differ in body size. While such polymorphic fish populations have been studied for many years, the understanding of how different types of selection contribute to the formation of dwarf- and giant ecotypes remains limited.

4. Optimised PCR protocol for ten microsatellite primers (SSRs) in Fragaria vesca : Facilitating future work analysing genetic diversity and developing efficient conservation strategies
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiAbstract : The world faces severe challenges in providing food security for a growing world population during climate change. This puts pressure on modern agriculture, including adapting crops to new environments and cultivation on less acreage. The tools for adapting crops exist within a species' genetic diversity.

5. Fine-scale recombination landscape in the wood white butterfly Leptidea sinapis
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningAbstract : Recombination is a genetic process of extreme importance in evolutionary biology. It creates novel haplotypes and breaks down existing ones, and can affect the levels of genetic diversity and the efficacy of selection. It also plays an important role in the evolution of sex chromosomes and the divergence process leading to speciation. READ MORE
