1. 1. Navigating the Waves of Conservation: Spatiotemporal Patterns in Harbour Porpoise Strandings in Swedish Waters

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Vigge Ulfsson; [2024]
   Keywords : Strandings; spatiotemporal patterns; harbour porpoise;

   Abstract : Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are the only cetacean residents found year-round in Swedish waters. Since in situ monitoring of cetaceans can be difficult, invasive and often costly, strandings can be used as a cost-effective alternative to continuously collect data on these elusive animals.

3. 2. From Plant Genetic Resource Conservation to Digital Biorepositories: A Coming Paradigm Shift in Ex-Situ Conservation?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Christopher Keegan; [2023]
   Keywords : Bioinformatics; Genebanks; Genetic Engineering; Mixed-Methods; Multi-Disciplinary; Patent Analysis; Plant Genetic Resources; Synthetic Biology; Technological Trajectories; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Plant Genetic Resource Conservation has been a staple of agricultural development for the past century. Recently, several prominent papers have raised alarm surrounding the development of synthetic biology techniques and their potential to render modern practices and methods of conservation in the global genebank network obsolete.

4. 3. Safeguarding a Safeguard: Assessing the Status of Global Ex-Situ Crop Conservation and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault’s Role in its Protection

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Author : Christopher Keegan; [2022]
   Keywords : Svalbard Global Seed Vault; Genebanks; Genetic Resources; Genetic Erosion; Passport Data Completeness; Agriculture and Food Sciences;

   Abstract : The Svalbard Seed Vault serves as a backup against accidental loss of genetic crop diversity within the existing global conservation system. Addressing this objective, this thesis repeats the 2013 assessment of the Seed Vault’s completeness relative to the global conservation system as performed by Westengen et al (2013, 1). READ MORE

5. 4. Developing saddleback and emperor tamarin SNP set for in situ genotyping

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ekologi och genetik; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Samantha López Clinton; [2022]
   Keywords : SNP genotyping; GT-Seq; conservation genomics; saddleback tamarin; emperor tamarin; Genotipado por SNPs; GT-seq; genómica para la conservación; pichico común; pichico emperador;

   Abstract : Many countries in the global south - which harbour the majority of the world’s biodiversity - face serious resource limitations and a lack of access to affordable sequencing services. Furthermore, biodiversity research and monitoring of non-model, threatened and/or cryptic species often relies on low-quality non-invasive genetic samples. READ MORE

6. 5. 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 biologi

   Author : Lisa Haglund; [2022]
   Keywords : Crop wild relatives CWR ; PCR; Microsatellites; Fragaria vesca; Conservation; Genetic diversity;

   Abstract : 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.
