  1. 1. Diving Deep: Seabird foraging tactics and local prey field

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Elin Andersson Sjöholm; [2024]
    Keywords : Common Guillemot; Uria aalge; Optimal Foraging theory; Hydroacoustic data; resource selection;

    Abstract : Foragers in patchy environments need to decide what patches to use and how to allocate their time between them. Optimal foraging theory describes these choices through the relationship between energy expenditure and energy gain. READ MORE

  3. 2. Resource Usage Prediction for Parameter Sweeps with Biochemical System Simulations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Minjia Zhou; [2024]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Exploring the behavior of biochemical systems when subjected to certain internal and external changes is fascinating, and these variations can be investigated through computational simulations. However, the computational cost of simulations is often quite high, necessitating an understanding of the computational requirements and resource utilization of these simulations. READ MORE

  4. 3. African elephants' effect on the temporal use of elephant highway by predator and prey. Makgadikgadi Pans National Park.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Rebecka Relfsson; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : African savanna elephant; elephant highways; interspecies interactions; predation avoidance; predator-prey interaction; temporal activity;

    Abstract : African savanna elephants (Loxondonta africana) are the world’s largest land-mammal and are considered a keystone species. The effect they have on vegetation and their environment is well known, but their effect on other animal species is less studied. READ MORE

  5. 4. The Great cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo, as a predator of the invasive Round goby

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Louisa Alvarez Blomgren; [2023]
    Keywords : Round goby; invasive species; Great cormorant; predator-prey interaction; prey selectivity;

    Abstract : Dispersal of invasive species poses a significant threat to biodiversity loss globally and is one of the major threats to the ecological condition in the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is facing potential problems caused by the Round goby, Neogobius melanostomus, which was presumably introduced via ballast water. READ MORE

  6. 5. Boids Flocking Algorithms : Prey Survival Rate in Predator-Prey Simulations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Lucas Kerslow; Johannes Matsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Virtual environments are only perceived as real as each part makes it out to be. One aspect of these simulated realities is the movement of the artificial life entities included in some of the virtual environments. READ MORE
