  1. 1. Computational Pipeline for Analyses of Genome-Wide Nascent Transcription from PRO-seq Data

    University essay from KTH/Genteknologi

    Author : Serhat Aktay; [2023]
    Keywords : Transcription; functional genomic regions; heat shock response; computational pipeline development; automation.; Genavläsning; genomets funktionella regioner; värmechockrespons; dataanalysutveckling; automatisering;

    Abstract : Celler har en rad olika sätt att försvara sig mot stress för att överleva, främst genom att reglera transkriptionen av gener. En metod för att undersöka hur cellens transkription förändras vid cellulär stress är precision run-on sequencing (PRO-seq). READ MORE

  3. 2. “What’s the buzz with bilberries?” – Bilberry pollinator community structure and function in relation to forest type and habitat structure

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Jacob Björnberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Over the last century, Swedish forests have undergone rapid land-use change due to intensification of management practices for timber production and the introduction of monocultures, which have resulted in considerable habitat loss and negative impacts to biodiversity. Insects form a significant component of forest biodiversity, yet forest-dwelling pollinators remain understudied, and little is known about how management strategies affect forest insect pollinator communities.

  4. 3. Birch for Future: Yay or Nay?

    University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre

    Author : Swastika Chakravorty; [2022]
    Keywords : Betula pendula Roth; Biodiversity; Growth; Simulation; Species Mixture;

    Abstract : Birch (Betula pendula Roth in this study) is a widespread broadleaf species in the Swedish forests. Different birds, saproxylic insects, understorey vascular plants and mycorrhizal fungi are dependent on birch and birch deadwood. The mixture of birch and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L. READ MORE

  5. 4. Analyzing the use of Humidity Cue in Navigation of Drosophila melanogaster

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Kalle Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Humidity is one of the main abiotic factor of ecosystems and affects animals behaviour, fitness and distribution. Due to their small size and inability to thermoregulate using metabolism, insects, such as the fruit fly Drosophila Melanogaster, are especially reliant on humidity. READ MORE

  6. 5. The natural pest control potential of different landscapes : mapping the ecosystem service in three regions of Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Charlotte Peitz; [2021]
    Keywords : natural pest control; natural enemies; landscapes; agricultural diversification; pesticide reduction; mapping; ecosystem service; ecological intensification; agroecology;

    Abstract : Natural pest control describes the process of natural enemies suppressing pests and thus reducing crop damage and stabilizing yields. How well these beneficial arthropod predators and parasitoids can thrive in a landscape is influenced by the land-use types in the vicinity, such as forest patches, pastures, or agricultural fields, and their ability to provide resources.
