  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.

  3. 2. Relatedness and diversity in Swedish local chicken breeds using mitochondrial DNA D-loop sequences and SNP data

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Esther Taiwo Afolabi; [2023]
    Keywords : chicken; genetic diversity; mtDNA d-loop; SNP; Swedish local chicken breeds;

    Abstract : Genetic diversity is the variation in genetic information carried by individuals within a species or population. This variability plays a crucial role in enabling species to adapt and survive in changing environments and is essential for evolutionary processes. READ MORE

  5. 4. Segmenting cruise passengers based on their spatio-temporal similarity : an approach utilising dynamic time warping

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Kulturgeografiska institutionen

    Author : Pauline Borg; [2023]
    Keywords : cruise tourism; dynamic time warping; cluster analysis; overcrowding; tourist mobility; kryssningsturism; dynamic time warping; klusteranalys; trängsel; turistmobilitet;

    Abstract : The present thesis utilises dynamic time warping and cluster analysis with the aim of discovering different touristic profiles. GPS data of cruise passengers intra-destination movement at the destination of Visby, Gotland, was used in the analysis. READ MORE
