Building models : developing the behavioural model of Temnothorax collective wall building to study the evolutionary robustness of self-organised algorithms
(2022-11-29) - ThesisThis thesis focuses on wall building behaviour in Temnothorax ants as a case study of self-organised collective behaviour. It contains a progressing series of research packages, building towards one evolutionary question: ... -
Trends in taxonomic and functional diversity over succession in tropical secondary forests
(2023-06-14) - ThesisBiodiverse tropical forests are declining rapidly, due in part to the appropriation of natural land for human use. There is an urgent need to better understand how biodiversity changes in response to this landscape ... -
Biophysical characterization of nanodiscs and nanodisc-reconstituted mechanosensitive ion channels
(2023-06-14) - ThesisLipid-protein interactions are crucial for life. Research into this area is continuously growing, not only in the context of basic science, but also from a technological perspective aiming to facilitate their handling and ... -
Genomic patterns of divergence and gene flow in Drosophila and Goodeidae
(2023-06-14) - ThesisUnderstanding the impact of the presence or absence of geographic barriers on speciation has been a source of enduring interest in evolutionary biology. The degree of geographical isolation and the prevalence of gene flow ... -
Towards a structural understanding of DNA polymerase δ using the thermophilic fungus Chaetomium thermophilum as a model
(2022-06-15) - ThesisEukaryotic DNA polymerase δ plays a critical role in DNA replication and repair. At the replication fork, Pol δ carries out the bulk of lagging strand DNA synthesis and plays transient but crucial roles in leading strand ...
