Social behaviour and learning in archerfish
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-30) - ThesisLearning is crucial to making behavioural adjustments and fish are adept at using the behaviour of others to more easily find and discriminate between different sources of food, recognise novel predators and other challenges ... -
The genomic signature of extremely rapid adaptive evolution in Hawaiian crickets
(University of St Andrews, 2021-12-01) - Thesis -
Fantastic feasts and where to find them : using biologging to investigate foraging behaviour of marine megafauna across a range of spatiotemporal scales
(University of St Andrews, 2021-12-01) - ThesisUnderstanding the strategies animals use to locate, select, and capture prey can guide more robust conservation efforts. In marine megafauna, foraging is often inferred from infrequent surface positions using biotelemetry ... -
Statistics, machine learning and deep learning for population genetic inference
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-30) - ThesisDeciphering the evolutionary changes from raw DNA data effectively without the loss of intrinsic information has been the fundamental and core work in population genetics. However, some statistical challenges still restrict ... -
The investigation into protein Willin/FRMD6 in neuronal polarization and associated molecular mechanisms
(University of St Andrews, 2021-06-30) - ThesisNeuronal polarization is defined as the biological process where neurons obtain their molecular, morphological, and functional asymmetries between dendritic and axonal compartments. Establishing neuronal polarity, especially ...
