1. Turing's model for pattern formation
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : In an attempt to describe how patterns emerge in biological systems, Alan Turing proposed a mathematical model encapsulating the properties of such processes. It details a partial differential equation governing the dynamics of two or more substances, called morphogens, reacting and diffusing in a specific manner, in turn generating what has now come to be denoted as Turing patterns.

3. Computational Stochastic Morphogenesis
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskapAbstract : Self-organizing patterns arise in a variety of ways in nature, the complex patterning observed on animal coats is such an example. It is already known that the mechanisms responsible for pattern formation starts at the developmental stage of an embryo. However, the actual process determining cell fate has been, and still is, unknown. READ MORE

4. Evaluation of modeling ecosystem seasonality in the University of Victoria Earth System Climate Model
University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologiAbstract : Abstract Investigating climate model ability to simulate ecosystem seasonality, for instance causes and dynamics of phytoplankton blooms in the North Atlantic, is of major importance, because interannual and seasonal variations in bloom timing, duration and intensity caused by anthropogenic induced global climate change, can lead to species shifts and alterations in the trophic food web and biogeochemical cycles, which otherwise may remain undetected on an annual scale. The seasonal variability of the North Atlantic spring bloom is highly related to surface pCO2 (Takahashi et al. READ MORE

5. Within-canopy sesquiterpene ozonolysis in Amazonia
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: En mycket reaktiv spårgas i Amazonas. Växter släpper ut flyktiga organiska ämnen, som är mycket viktiga eftersom de släpps ut i stora mängder och påverkar tillverkningen av aerosoler, förändrar luftkvaliteten och fungerar som kommunikation mellan växter och herbivorer.
