  1. 1. Diversification of predators in multi-trophic communities: A trait-based theoretical approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Julio Antonio Ayala Lopez; [2022]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : One of the main challenges in ecology and evolutionary biology is to understand how biodiversity emerges and is maintained, given the complexity of ecological and evolutionary processes combined. Understanding how multi-trophic interactions occur from a theoretical perspective is highly relevant for our understanding of diversification in complex ecosystems. READ MORE

  3. 2. Separating the sexes : sexual conflict and how to resolve it

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

    Author : Aivars Cirulis; [2016]
    Keywords : Neurospora crassa; sexual conflict; hermaphrodite; sex; experimental evolution;

    Abstract : During the evolution of sex, different sexual conflicts arise. Sexual conflicts reduce fitness of the opposite sex. That is why several mechanisms have evolved to resolve them, which leads to rapid and unpredictable co-evolution of male and female traits involved in reproduction. READ MORE

  4. 3. Genotypic and phenotypic variation of Phytopthora infestans on potato in the two Swedish regions Bjäre and Östergötland in 2015

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology

    Author : Ida Peterson; [2015]
    Keywords : potato late blight; mating type; simple sequence repeat markers SSR ; microsatellites; Multiplex PCR; sexual reproduction; asexual reproduction; aggressiveness; tests; population study;

    Abstract : Potato late blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, is a very im-portant disease on potato, and one of the most devastating plant diseases in agri-culture worldwide. Despite the small area of potato in comparison with other cul-tivated crops, 40 % of the total use of fungicides in Sweden is used on potato. READ MORE

  5. 4. Observing coevolution in simulated bacteria : Using asexual reproduction and simple direct mapped functions for decision-making

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för datavetenskap och kommunikation (CSC)

    Author : Adrian Blanco Paananen; Johan Storby; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this report we have presented the results of a program which performs simula- tions of artificial bacteria with the ability to evolve different characteristics and behaviours through genetic algorithms. Over time unfit bacteria will die out, and the more fit bacteria will produce offspring with slightly mutated variants of it’s genetic code resembling the evolutionary process. READ MORE
