1. The link between brain size, cognitive ability, mate choice and sexual behaviour in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Sammanfattning : Competition over access for mates has led to the evolution of many striking examples of morphological traits and behaviour in animals. The rapid development of the sexual selection field in recent decades have dramatically advanced our understanding of what traits make individuals more successful in attracting mates and how preferences for mates evolve over time.

2. Evaluation of Furnishes for Tissue Manufacturing
Sammanfattning : Water removal on a tissue machine becomes progressively more difficult and expensive in each successive zone. Since a big part of the cost is allocated to the drying section, improved water removal in the wet end may lead to huge savings in the manufacturing process. LÄS MER
3. Robust and Efficient Cell-Based Models of Tissue Mechanics
Sammanfattning : Cell-based models of tissue mechanics have become an important tool in cancer research and developmental biology. Complementary to wet-lab experiments, they allow for cost-efficient in-silico evaluation of mechanisms not easily probed in the lab. LÄS MER
4. Thinking in water : Brain size evolution in Cichlidae and Syngnathidae
Sammanfattning : Brain size varies greatly among vertebrates. It has been proposed that the diversity of brain size is produced and maintained through a balance of adaptations to different types and levels of cognitive ability and constraints for adaptive evolution. LÄS MER
5. The Spatial Context – through the lens of method development
Sammanfattning : In the present moment of time, we find ourselves in a period where the advancement of genomic tools is progressing at a fast pace. Of particular interest for this thesis is the study of gene activity. LÄS MER
