Among heterosexual couples, employment of the female partner may suffer from household migration often driven by the job of the male partner. Most research has traditionally focused on the distance moved after couple formation and has neglected how far par ...

Understanding mobility behaviour in cross-border regions is a major challenge for transport policies and the wellbeing of people living near national borders. However, the available relevant information is often limited to a collection of unharmonized nati ...

In high-income countries, migration redistributed populations from congested city centres into the sparsely populated outskirts, raising challenges to environmental and population health and the conservation of biodiversity. We evaluate whether this periur ...

The role played by international migration and its interactions with other demographic components in the process of city growth remains underappreciated. We analyze trends in natural increase and in net internal and international migration in Zurich during ...

In this thesis, an original database is constituted, described and exploited in a geohistorical perspective, containing the registration of the population at the local level for the fifteen censuses conducted in Albania between 1918 and 2011. The precision ...

Human settlement of Madagascar traces back to the beginning of the first millennium with the arrival of Austronesians from Southeast Asia, followed by migrations from Africa and the Middle East. Remains of these different cultural, genetic, and linguistic ...

As one of the most commonly utilized organisms in the study of local adaptation, an accurate characterization of the demographic history of Drosophila melanogaster remains as an important research question. This owes both to the inherent interest in charac ...

AimDespite the recent improvements made in species distribution models (SDMs), assessing species' ability to migrate fast enough to track their climate optimum remains a challenge. This study achieves this goal and demonstrates the reliability of a process ...

Trajectory data is of crucial importance for a vast range of applications involving analysis of moving objects behavior. Unfortunately, the extraction of relevant knowledge from trajectory data is hindered by the lack of semantics and the presence of error ...

To investigate the migration response of cells to changes in their biophysical environment, a novel uniaxial cell stimulation device (UCSD) has been designed and tested. The device is capable of applying very precise user-defined static or dynamic mechanic ...

A growing body of evidence suggests that the sensory information from the cytoskeleton and integrins may be responsible for guiding migration during mechano- and haptotaxis. However, the dual function of these subcellular structures as mechano-sensors and ...
