1. Mellan ideal och vetenskap: bild-textdissonanser i framställningar av djur i Svenska Familj-Journalen 1877–1882
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Konstvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : This thesis examines the Swedish 19th century family magazine, Svenska Familj-Journalen, and the interaction between bourgeois attitudes, science, and depictions of animals. My main purpose is to demonstrate how image-text divergences can discover ruptures between 19th century bourgeoise ideology and science. LÄS MER
2. The Extended Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Monotone Probability Mass Function with Application using Forensic Data
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistikSammanfattning : This paper presents solutions to the modelling of frequency data of species labels, but the data is incomplete in the sense that some rarely-occurring species labels give zero observed frequency. The data can be modelled by a monotone probability function with parameters to be estimated, and yet, due to the order constraints and the incomplete data, using conventional parameter estimation methods will cause trouble.

3. Taxonomy of the Rufous-naped lark (Mirafra africana) complex based on song analysis
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/ZooekologiSammanfattning : The Rufous-naped lark Mirafra africana complex consists of 22 subspecies spread across the African continent. Several of the subspecies have recently been suggested to potentially be treated as separate species. In this study a comparative analysis was done on the song from seven of the subspecies: M. a.

4. A deep dive into the Prinia atrogularis complex : A tale of birds and taxonomy
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ekologi och genetikSammanfattning : The taxonomy of the taxa in the Prinia atrogularis-khasiana-superciliaris complex has changed several times in recent history. To this day, different world bird lists classify this complex as 1–3 species. These classifications are based mainly on morphological comparisons of museum specimens. LÄS MER
5. Visual neurons with different shapes: investigation of the relationship between morphology and function
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologiSammanfattning : In this project, morphological differences between motion detector neurons in Drosophila melanogaster were compared and used to speculate regarding their function. This was achieved by comparing properties such as diameter, height, width, bifurcation, asymmetry and terminal degree. LÄS MER
