1. Hidden Diversity Revealed : Genomic, Transcriptomic and Functional Studies of Diplomonads
Abstract : The diplomonads are a diverse group of eukaryotic microbes found in oxygen limited environments such as the intestine of animals were they may cause severe disease. Among them, the prominent human parasite Giardia intestinalis non-invasively colonizes the small intestine of humans and animals where it induces the gastrointestinal disease giardiasis. READ MORE

2. Determinants of genomic diversity in the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis)
Abstract : Individuals vary from each other in their genetic content. Genetic diversity is at the core of the evolutionary theory. Rooted in a solid theoretical framework developed as early as the 1930s, current empirical observations of genomic diversity became possible due to technological advances. READ MORE

3. Genomic Diversity and Evolution of Parasitism in Nematode-trapping Fungi
Abstract : Nematode-trapping fungi are soil-living organisms that have the ability to form infection structures, traps to capture nematodes. Many nematode species are parasites on plants and animals, which have resulted in an interest to use the nematode-trapping fungi as biological control agents. READ MORE

4. The use of museum specimens in conservation genomics
Abstract : In the face of an increasing number of species being threatened by extinction, museum collections can constitute a powerful resource for acquiring genomic data of endangered taxa. By utilising datasets that combine genomes from present-day populations with those from historical timepoints, several questions relevant for conservation can be investigated. READ MORE
