  1. 11. Evolutionary Properties of Neural Networks: Exploration of Robustness and Evolvability in the Genotype-Phenotype Map

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Daesung Cho; [2022]
    Keywords : robustness; evolvability; genotype-phenotype map; canalization; Bayesian inference; simulation-based inference; information theory; neural networks; pyloric rhythm; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Evolution is a fundamental and crucial part of life that hinges on two central properties: robustness and evolvability. Robustness is required to maintain essential traits despite mutations while evolvability produces novel traits that might prove beneficial in survival. READ MORE

  3. 12. Saponiner i ärta : biosyntes av soyasaponiner och dess genetiska mekanismer i ärtväxter

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Breeding (from 130101)

    Abstract : Efterfrågan på proteinrika vegetabiliska livsmedel ökar och intresse finns från både konsument, politiker och industri att använda svenskodlade råvaror i större utsträckning. Ärta (Pisum sativum L. READ MORE

  4. 13. Peatland restoration: A mossy affair? : The similarities of the vegetation communitiesbetween restored bogs and natural bogs.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Liesbeth van Ravenhorst; [2022]
    Keywords : Wetland; peatland; bog; vegetation composition; plant functional trait; environmental variable;

    Abstract : Peatlands function as important global carbon sinks as peatlands store 30% to 40% of the total soil carbon even though peatlands only cover 3% of the Earth's terrestrial surface. However, drainage activities have damaged the ecosystem and caused many peatlands to function as carbon sources instead. READ MORE

  5. 14. Could horse grazing be used to restore abandoned fields? : a comparison of the vegetation between horse pastures and abandoned fields, and an inventory of the effects of grazing- history and intensity

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Jantien Vogel; [2022]
    Keywords : abandoned field; grazing; horse pasture; functional traits; species richness; vegetation;

    Abstract : Semi-natural fields, created by traditional land-use systems like low-intensity cattle grazing, have high ecological value due to the occurrence of numerous plant species, and their associated faunal communities. In Sweden, this habitat is threatened by both land-abandonment and agricultural intensification. READ MORE

  6. 15. Effects of diversified cropping on arthropod communities

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Eira Eksvärd; [2022]
    Keywords : carabids; spiders; traits; organic amendments; ley legacy effects;

    Abstract : Även intensiva moderna jordbruk är beroende av ekosystemtjänster som organismer bidrar med såsom biologisk bekämpning av skadedjur. Effekten av biodiversitet på ekosystemprocesser förklaras inte i tillräcklig grad av taxonomisk mångfald, utan beror snarare på mångfalden av funktionella egenskaper bland arterna. READ MORE
