1. Spatiotemporal prediction of arbovirus outbreak risk : the role of weather and population mobility
Sammanfattning : Background: Arboviruses such as dengue and chikungunya have been a significant public health burden globally for several decades. In Indonesia, all four dengue serotypes are circulating. LÄS MER
2. Population History and Non-invasive Monitoring : Use of low copy number DNA in Conservation Genetics
Sammanfattning : Conservation genetics research is increasingly becoming an integrated part of the management of small and endangered populations. In this thesis I developed tools for genetic analysis of low copy number sources of DNA, such as old teeth from museum specimens as well as field-collected faeces and urine. LÄS MER
3. Effects of size-dependent predation and competition on population and community dynamics
Sammanfattning : Most animals grow substantially during their lifetime and change in competitive ability, predatory capacity and their susceptibility to predation as they grow. This thesis addresses the implications of this on regulation and dynamics within populations as well as between population interactions. LÄS MER
4. Population biology and conservation of beetles and pseudoscorpions associated with hollow oaks
Sammanfattning : Many species associated with old trees are threatened, as this habitat has decreased severely in Europe during the last 200 years. In old oaks, hollows with wood mould often form in the trunks and these harbour a specialized fauna mainly consisting of beetles, flies and pseudoscorpions. LÄS MER
5. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic modeling in risk assessment - Development of Bayesian population methods
Sammanfattning : In risk assessment of risk chemicals, variability in susceptibility in the population is an important aspect. The health hazard of a pollutant is related to the internal exposure to the chemical, i.e. the target dose, rather than the external exposure. LÄS MER
