  1. 31. Large language models as an interface to interact with API tools in natural language

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DM)

    Author : Yohannes Gebreyohannes Tesfagiorgis; Bruno Miguel Monteiro Silva; [2023]
    Keywords : Large language model LLM ; Natural Language Processing NLP ; GPT-4; Llama-2; Palm; Application Programming Interface API .;

    Abstract : In this research project, we aim to explore the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) as an interface to interact with API tools in natural language. Bubeck et al. [1] shed some light on how LLMs could be used to interact with API tools. READ MORE

  3. 32. The effects of the exploiters (non-pollinating insects) on mutualistic interactions between the plant and its pollinator

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologi

    Author : Yiaohong Xu; [2023]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Mutualistic interactions between, for example, plants and pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining the biodiversity of ecosystems, while non-pollinating insects (exploiters) that exploit plants are commonly thought to have destabilizing effects. The long-term, i.e. READ MORE

  4. 33. Differences in velocity between the sexes and stages of courtship in a dance fly

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Filip Myllyaho; [2022-02-17]
    Keywords : Dansfluga; Hilara maura; höghastighetskamera; partner-val; Dance fly; Hilara maura; high-speed camera; mate choice;

    Abstract : Dance flies (Diptera: Empididae: Empidinae) are famous for their elaborate mating behaviour, which can be broken down to three distinct stages in adults: hunting, swarming, and mating. In many species, males hunt for prey that they present as nuptial gifts to recipient females in swarms, after which the pair will copulate in the air or after landing on nearby vegetation. READ MORE

  5. 34. Odling av växter för naturvård i Sverige : behovsanalys och processbeskrivning

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of People and Society

    Author : Sofia Dahlgren; [2022]
    Keywords : Inhemska växter; naturvård; odling; kärlväxter; ängsväxter; ekologi; bevarandebiologi; biologisk mångfald; ekosystemtjänster; restaurering;

    Abstract : Förlusten av biologisk mångfald är numera ett erkänt problem över hela världen. Många forskare och organisationer har gått ut med att vi måste restaurera stora naturområden med utarmade ekosystem för att bromsa och helst vända denna trend (Balvanera et al. 2019; IUCN 2019).

  6. 35. A population genomic approach to investigate potential island effects in the cryptic wood white butterfly (Leptidea juvernica) : Do island populations have lower genetic diversity and less efficient selection than mainland populations?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Xuejing Hu; [2022]
    Keywords : island effect;

    Abstract : Due to limited geographic ranges, island populations, in general, are expected to have smaller population sizes and a limited influx of migrants compared to populations inhabiting continental mainlands. Therefore, island populations are expected to be influenced by genetic drift and natural selection differently from mainland populations. READ MORE
