  2. 1. Population Fragmentation and Genetic Variation in Grouse

    Author : Jobs Karl Larsson; Jacob Höglund; Stuart B. Piertney; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Bonasa sewerzowi; bottleneck; genetic drift; genetic variation; inbreeding; isolation; microsatellites; population structure; Tetrao tetrix; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : In this thesis the genetic variation of two grouse species, the Chinese grouse (Bonasa sewersowi) and the Black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) was examined with neutral genetic markers: microsatellites. Habitat fragmentation and isolation leads to structuring among and loss of genetic variation within populations. READ MORE

  4. 2. Quantitative genetic variation in declining plant populations

    Author : Maarten Ellmer; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Saxifraga granulata; Briza media; Nigella degenii; bottleneck; Inbreeding depression; founder effects; drift; quantitative genetic; diversifying selection; habitat fragmentation; small populations;

    Abstract : The ecological and genetic effects of habitat fragmentation are an issue of major concern in current conservation biology. Habitat fragmentation results in smaller habitat areas and as a consequence smaller and more isolated populations. Many habitats have become fragmented through human activities such as forestry and agricultural development. READ MORE

  5. 3. Monitoring gene level biodiversity - aspects and considerations in the context of conservation

    Author : Johan Charlier; Linda Laikre; Nils Ryman; Kjetil Hindar; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; brown trout; conservation genetics; genetic drift; genetic monitoring; effective population size; moose; one-sample approach; spatial genetic structure; statistical power; temporal data; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Abstract : The objectives of this thesis relate to questions needed to be addressed in the context of genetic monitoring for implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity for the gene level. Genetic monitoring is quantifying temporal changes in population genetic metrics. READ MORE

  6. 4. Health Monitoring for Aircraft Systems using Decision Trees and Genetic Evolution

    Author : Mike Gerdes; Diego Galar; Uday Kumar; Dieter Scholz; Piotr Bilski; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Condition Monitoring; Remaining Useful Life Prediction; Decision Tree; Genetic Algorithm; Fuzzy Decision Tree Evaluation; System Monitoring; Aircraft Health Monitoring; Feature Extraction; Feature Selection; Data Driven; Health Prognostic; Knowledge Based System; Supervised Learning; Data-Driven Predictive Health Monitoring; Health Indicators; Machine Learning; Big Data; Pattern Recognition; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance;

    Abstract : Reducing unscheduled maintenance is important for aircraft operators. There are significant costs if flights must be delayed or cancelled, for example, if spares are not available and have to be shipped across the world. READ MORE

  7. 5. Population Genetic Methods and Applications to Human Genomes

    Author : Lucie Gattepaille; Mattias Jakobsson; Kevin Thornton; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Population genetics; Human evolution; Genetic diversity; Genetic differentiation; Adaptation; Population structure; Effective population size; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : Population Genetics has led to countless numbers of fruitful studies of evolution, due to its abilities for prediction and description of the most important evolutionary processes such as mutation, genetic drift and selection. The field is still growing today, with new methods and models being developed to answer questions of evolutionary relevance and to lift the veil on the past of all life forms. READ MORE
