1. Population viability analysis for plants : practical recommendations and applications
Sammanfattning : Population viability analysis (PVA) is commonly used in conservation biology to predict population viability in terms of population growth rate and risk of extinction. However, large data requirements limit the use of PVA for many rare and threatened species. LÄS MER
2. A Parametric Approach to Yeast Growth Curve Estimation and Standardization
Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of yeast growth. It builds upon a dataset consisting of growth curves of 576 Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants in eight different environments. The data will be a part of a publicly available phenotypic library, PROPHECY, containing growth curves and characteristics of viable S. LÄS MER
3. Process modeling of semibatch reaction crystallization
Sammanfattning : This thesis aims at increasing the fundamental understanding of reaction crystallization by modeling, simulations and parameter estimation. Benzoic acid is used as the model compound. LÄS MER
4. Adaptation Along Environmental Gradients: an Evaluation of Physiological Mechanisms and Ecological Constraints
Sammanfattning : For ectotherms living in seasonal environments, time available for development and growth is often constrained by the length of the growth season. Declining season length towards higher latitudes often select for latitudinal clines in development and growth rates, exhibiting increasing growth and developmental rates towards the north. LÄS MER
5. Ontogeny and Population Biology of a Sex-Limited Colour Polymorphism
Sammanfattning : This study has involved investigation of number of populations of the damselfly Ischnura elegans over several years, looking at frequency changes over time, morphological differences between the sexes and the morphs, differences in growth rate and development time, differences in fecundity between the morphs, and genetic differentiation between populations.
