  1. 6. Sequence Diversity andAntibody Response to Autologous and Heterologous MSP2 Antigens in a Prospective Malaria Immunology Cohort

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologi

    Author : Julia Zerebinski; [2021]
    Keywords : Malaria; sub-Saharan Africa; merozoite surface protein; antibody; immune response; antigen target;

    Abstract : Malaria, caused by the Plasmodium parasite and transmitted by mosquitoes, kills almost half a million people each year. Drug resistance in both the parasite and its vector make preventative measures increasingly important, and a fully protective vaccine is absolutely necessary to eradicate the disease. READ MORE

  3. 7. Intertidal species richness and abundances in a recent small Marine Protected Area in Portugal: lack of effects from protection suggests changing strategies in the future

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Justine Pagnier; [2020]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Marine protected areas (MPAs) are being created around the world as the concern on species and habitats preservation is growing. A widespread concern related to the important lack of regulation and effective conservation measures has been raised, calling the attention to the importance of no-take areas within MPA’s. READ MORE

  4. 8. Taxonomisk indelning och bevarande av späckhuggaren

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Isa Persson; [2017]
    Keywords : späckhuggare; orcinus orca; ekotyper; artindelning; bevarandebiologi; taxonomi;

    Abstract : Späckhuggaren är världens största delfin och en av havens toppredator. Trots att späckhuggaren uppvisar specialiseringar med avseende på social sammansättning, val av bytesdjur och ibland har morfologiska olikheter är den idag betraktad som en monotypisk art. READ MORE

  5. 9. Local adaptation of larval life history in the moor frog Rana arvalis across a landscape mosaic

    University essay from Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Populationsbiologi och naturvårdsbiologi

    Author : Monique Lustenhouwer; [2012]
    Keywords : rana arvalis; moor frog; growth rate; local adaptation; life history; landscape mosaic; predation;

    Abstract : Growth rate is an important life history trait, which impacts fitness indirectly through its effect on the age and size at maturity, as well as directly through costs associated with accelerated growth such as increased predation risk. Genetic variation and plasticity in growth are widespread in nature, and local adaptation of growth rate may evolve due to divergent selection in different environments, for example related to predation risk, temperature or time constraints.

  6. 10. Candidate genes and bioinformatic analysis of biological pathways for epistatic regulation of growth in chicken

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Muhammad Ahsan; [2010]
    Keywords : complex traits; QTL mapping; SNP; mutation; divergent selection; KEGG; UCSC; Ensembl; Galaxy; GO; conservation;

    Abstract : Selective breeding programmes for desired phenotypes in animals provide a good resource for researchers to understand the genetic basis underlying those phenotypes. Most traits of economic importance in animals are quantitative traits, which are controlled by genetic as well as environmental factors. READ MORE
