  1. 1. Let Us Put Our Brains in the Spotlight – Literally!

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Författare :Elsa Karjalainen; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Neurons are the working force in each vertebrate’s nervous system. These small cells have the important task of transferring information in the form of electrical charges called action potentials. Neurons make it possible for us to sense touch, process our environment, and store memory. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Body patterning and cognition in cephalopods - a literature review

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Författare :Georgina Chu; [2023]
    Nyckelord :cephalopods; octopus; body patterning; colour alteration; chromatophores; pigment cells; cognition; learning and memory;

    Sammanfattning : Cephalopods are a valuable model for studying the evolution of cognition due to their distinctive brain structure, organisation, and connectivity patterns compared to vertebrates. The development of large brains and behavioural complexities are believed to be triggered by evolutionary pressures stemming from factors like heightened predation, more demanding foraging conditions, and intense mating competition.

  4. 3. Towards mapping the genetic cause of polydactyly in a miniature Shetland pony family : Kartläggning av den genetiska orsaken till polydaktyli genom analys av helgenomssekvensdata från rasen miniatyr shetlandsponny

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Författare :Delyan Tsvetanov Georgiev; [2023]
    Nyckelord :polydactyly; miniature Shetland pony; WGS; bioinformatics;

    Sammanfattning : Polydactyly is a vertebrate developmental condition characterized by the presence of supernumerary digits. Its manifestation and severity can vary, ranging from cosmetic to debilitating, and it is commonly inherited in a dominant manner. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Acquired and lost structure-functions of non-enveloped and enveloped viruses

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Diogo Filipe; [2022]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Viruses are biological entities that constantly affect the world around us and in many cases they can harm the health of humans and negatively impact food production, in agriculture andfisheries. The project concept is that, through the structural studies of viruses that infectsimple hosts, it is possible to point out structural features that are unique and conserved inviruses, that infect human, other animals, and crops, in the same phylogenetic lineage.

  7. 5. Sexually segregated habitat selection in Daubenton’s bat Myotis daubentonii

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Esnart Emma Bwalya Chibwe; [2021]
    Nyckelord :sexual segregation; Daubenton’s bat; Myotis daubentonii; landscape analysis; habitat selection; foraging;

    Sammanfattning : Sexual segregation is a phenomenon present in many vertebrate taxa, including the bat order Chiroptera. Sexual segregation is a social and/or habitat separation based on sex and is driven by varying causes such as sexual dimorphism, resource and physiological limitations, predator avoidance and many other factors.
