1. Sources of variability in heterospecific social information use for breeding habitat selection : Role of genetics and personality in collared flycatchers
Sammanfattning : All their life, individuals have to make decisions that may strongly affect their fitness. To optimize their decisions, they can use personally acquired information but also information obtained from observing other individuals (“social information”). LÄS MER
2. The links between dispersal and individual fitness: correlation or causality? : Exploring mechanisms using correlative and experimental approaches in a passerine bird species, the collared flycatcher
Sammanfattning : Dispersal is commonly defined as the movement of an individual from its natal orprevious breeding site to a new breeding site. Because dispersal involves movements ofindividuals and genes among populations, it is recognized as a key life history trait withstrong effects on many ecological and evolutionary processes such as populationdynamics and genetics but also species spatial distribution or response to brutalenvironmental variations induced by human activities.

3. Experimental approaches and clinical opportunities in metabolic liver diseases
Sammanfattning : Metabolic liver diseases are uncommon individually, however, collectively they represent significant cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The liver has many diverse functions, such as; detoxification from hazardous compounds, either ingested or produced by the body, and production of vital proteins, e.g. LÄS MER
4. Wild Poethics - Exploring relational and embodied practices in urban-making
Sammanfattning : Nature is not something separated from the city. With this in mind, this research emerges from the act of urban gardening, staging space for naturecultures that reinforce a direct relation to an urban nature. LÄS MER
5. Challenges in Computational Biochemistry: Solvation and Ligand Binding
Sammanfattning : Accurate calculations of free energies for molecular association and solvation are important for the understanding of biochemical processes, and are useful in many pharmaceutical applications. In this thesis, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to calculate thermodynamic properties for solvation and ligand binding. LÄS MER
