  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. Tau-Leaping Implementations outside of chemistry

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen

    Author : Lotta Kornö; [2024]
    Keywords : Tau leaping; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Tau-leaping is an algorithm for model simulations most often used in kinetic chemistry. It was created to make simulations more efficient at the cost of some accuracy. However, its uses outside of chemistry are limited but could help make some model simulations more efficient. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Is sugar as sweet to the palate asseeds are appetizing to the belly? : Taste responsiveness to seven sweet-tastingsubstances in white-faced sakis (Pithecia pithecia)

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Mikel Redin Hurtado; [2023]
    Keywords : Food-associated carbohydrates; relative sweetness; seed predation; steviol glycosides; taste preference thresholds; taste responsiveness; white-faced sakis;

    Abstract : Differences in taste perception between species are thought to reflect evolutionaryadaptations to dietary specializations such as seed predation. By employing a two-bottlepreference test, the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the taste responsiveness forfive food-associated carbohydrates and two steviol glycosides in four adult white-faced sakis(Pithecia pithecia).
