Abstract:

<p>This report presents an analysis of a partial differential equation, resulting from population model with age structure. The existence and uniqueness of a solution to the equation are proved. We look at stability of the solution. The asymptotic behaviour of the solution is treated. The report also contains a section about the connection between the solution to the age structure population model and a simple model without age structure.</p>

The absence of major natural geographical barrier increases the possibility of the populations being affected by the same demographic events. The aim of this thesis was to ascertain the genetic variations and demographics in five major Nigerian populations using Y-markers.

Abstract:

Populations of many bacterial pathogens are structured into discrete strains despite frequent genetic exchange. Although insights from several studies suggest that different selection pressures operate in different areas of the genome, few theoretical and conceptual frameworks of bacterial population structure examine the effects of distinct competitive processes acting on different loci in the genome, and fewer still have considered the metabolic genes despite their increasingly-recognised importance in virulence. Buckee et al. (2008) investigated the combined effects of ecological competitio

I found evidence of variation in plasticity between females and show that early experiences of high population density reduce female plasticity. • The description of a mixed-effects linear model approach

In order to examine population structure (micro-evolution) in Begonia and its congruence to higher patterns of diversity (macro-evolution), nuclear microsatellite markers have been isolated and applied to two Begonia species, B. socotrana and B. sutherlandii. Begonia socotrana is endemic to the Haggeher Mountains of the island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean, where it has a total range of less than 10 x 15 km. Population surveys have highlighted the need for its conservation status to be reassessed, and it is proposed to reduce its status from 'endangered' to 'least concern'. Population genetic

Modeling population is a frequent subject in modern biology. It is hard to create a model that appears as realistic as possible.

The proposed estimator, the Multivariate Structure Preserving Estimator (MSPREE), extends the two main SPREE-type estimators: the SPREE and the GSPREE. The additional flexibility of the MSPREE may lead to estimates with less MSE than its predecessors. An extension of the MSPREE including cell specific random effects, the Mixed MSPREE (MMSPREE), is also presented, in an attempt to further reduce the size of the bias when the associated sample size allows

Abstract:

Two species of Limenitis butterflies occur along the Mississippi River at Hickman, Kentucky: the viceroy, L. archippus, and the red-spotted purple, L. arthemis astyanax. Limenitis archippus occurs at a frequency that is 10-30 times more abundant than its congener, L. arthemis astyanax. Interspecific matings between L. archippus and L. arthemis astyanax are very rare in the wild and give rise to a hybrid form Limenitis archippus X L. arthemis astyanax form rubidus. Only 7 heterospecific pairings between the parental species and 72 "rubidus" individuals have been documented in the wild in all of

A multi-locus sequence typing scheme was designed for the Corynebacterium diphtheriae group comprising C. diphtheriae, C. ulcerans and C. pseudotuberculosis.

No alleles were shared between the species and MLSA analysis indicated that they represent distinct populations with no evidence of recombination between the organisms. One hundred and fifty four C. diphtheriae isolates were analysed by MLST using the same five loci and two additional genes (dnaK and leuA). Th

Abstract:

The two key determinants of population persistence in fragmented landscapes are population size and connectivity. Populations with high levels of genetic variation and large population size are expected to have a lower risk of extinction. Similarly, populations with high rates of connectivity are expected to persist long-term. For many elusive landscape species it is difficult to obtain direct estimates of these parameters, but genetic sampling can offer powerful indirect assessments. Whilst these techniques have been applied to the study of many wide-ranging carnivores, this study represents

We consider three different settings for branching processes with spatial structure which appear in population models.

Each individual has a mass which decays when other individuals are nearby. We study the front location: the location at which the local mass density drops to o(1). We show that there are arbitrarily large times t at which the front location is order of t^(1/3) behind the maximum displacement of a particle from the origin. Secondly, we study the strengt
