  1. 1. A computational model of metapopulation dynamics and organism-mediated nutrient flow

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Amanda Hansson; [2023-08-07]
    Keywords : computational model; population dynamics; metapopulation dynamics; nutrient flow; simulation; spatially explicit; individual-based;

    Abstract : The aim of this project was to assess, using in-silico experiments, how different life history char-acteristics, such as age at maturity and dispersal ability of individuals, influence the dynamics of a metapopulation. To achieve this, a novel model of a spatially explicit metapopulation, with organ-ism-mediated nutrient flow between fragmented habitat patches, was implemented by means of computer simulations.

    Abstract : I Sverige lever Europas störa kattdjur – det eurasiska lodjuret (Lynx lynx). Arten klassas som livskraftig globalt sett men är i Sverige fridlyst sedan 90-talet och klassas som sårbar enligt 2020 års rödlista. Sedan 1990-talet har man i Sverige genomfört en årlig inventering av lodjur för att uppskatta stammens storlek och utveckling. READ MORE

  5. 4. Visualizing neuronal cell sub-populations using novel transgenic zebrafish lines.

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

    Author : Aikaterini Zafeiriou; [2021]
    Keywords : Zebrafish; CRISPR Cas9; locomotion; confocal microscopy; immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : Zebrafish is a frequently used model organism with an array of transgenic lines that have been used indevelopmental and physiological studies. We aim to generate novel transgenic zebrafish reporter lines to study subpopulations of spinal neurons in vivo. READ MORE

  6. 5. Effects of early life exposure to flutamide on sexual development in Xenopus tropicalis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Miljötoxikologi

    Author : Christopher Hampton; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : While endocrine disrupting chemicals have become a serious concern in human and environmental toxicology, many of the methods used for investigating developmental toxicity require long exposure periods, and thus can be technically challenging, labour intensive and expensive. For example, the current standard method, the Larval Amphibian Growth and Development Assay (LAGDA) has an exposure period of ³130 days. READ MORE
