Abstract:
A long-standing question in evolutionary biology is whether adaptation will typically proceed through a few mutations with large selective effects or many mutations with small effects. Many studies have implicated few loci of major effect, but it has been predicted that small-effect mutations should exist and contribute to adaptation. However, such mutations have not been found in many studies, either because they do not exist or because the experimental design limited their detection. To determine the effects and types of mutations contributing to adaptation, I studied laboratory and wild po

The aim of this doctoral research is to understand domain evolution processes in ferroelectrics using piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and Monte Carlo simulation. The results provide improved knowledge of domain evolution processes, and systematic experimental methods for research on domain evolution. There has been extensive previous research on domain evolution in ferroelectrics, but the research was mainly constrained to simple domain patterns. However, ferroelectric domains tend to form complex patterns that generate low-energy domain configurations. In this research, several methods s

Mud volcano systems erupt sediment and fluid onto the Earth’s surface producing edifices up to 25 km3 in volume however, little is known about how such volumes are transported through the Earth’s crust. This thesis investigates whether transport is through mud-dyke-sill complexes, or is diapiric. Structural field mapping of exhumed mud volcano intrusive domains onshore in Azerbaijan, shows that feeder complexes are 200-800 m wide and roughly circular. These complexes consist of various fracture networks and a megabreccia of country rock blocks tens-of-metres-across that have rotated up to 90°

This thesis concerns evolution and how it is explained. The ambition here is to identify clearly the many aspects of evolution, and to evaluate past and present explanations of evolution for their coherence and validity. Historically natural selection has been taken to be the central and main explanans, with other explanations playing lesser roles. Here it will be argued that the sheer complexity and diversity within nature cannot be accounted for by any single explanatory mechanism and that a plurality of explanatory mechanisms is required.

In addition to this, we describe different sets of formalisms for handling colour within interactions. We then give a brief review of the components of a Monte-Carlo event generator.

There is a growing appreciation for the insight mathematical models can yield on biological systems.

This thesis explores two models containing this feature, which also employ branching processes to describe population growth. Firstly, we consider a deterministically growing wild

Abstract:
Within genes, mutations that do not change proteins are usually considered 'silent' because it is assumed that they have no affect on an organism's phenotype. Evolution at silent sites is expected to be selectively neutral, so that the probability that a new mutation will become fixed in a population is dictated by chance. This is especially important in mammals, where small effective population sizes should reduce the ability of natural selection to influence the fate of mutations with presumed negligible impacts on fitness, such as silent nucleotide substitutions.

Abstract:
The Mawddach Estuary and Barmouth Bay now occupy what was a deeply incised glaciated valley at the last ice maximum. This valley is now filled by a complex suite of sediments, up to 75m thick at the present estuary mouth, which record increasing marine influence. A regressive coastline is also present today. In the Bay, Welsh glacial drifts were eroded to form deep depressions, infilled by complex cross- stratified Late- or Postglacial sediments, overlain by a parallel-stratified sequence, perhaps formed behind a coast-parallel morainal barrier. Net sediment transport of the fine sand in the B
