  2. 1. Population divergence at small spatial scales : – theoretical and empirical investigations in perch

    Author : Sara Bergek; Mats Björklund; Teija Aho; Sarah Goodacre; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Perca fluviatilis L.; Perch; Small scale genetic differentiation; Morphometrics; Isolation by distance; Dispersal; Gene flow; Microsatellites; Spatiotemporal stability; Barriers; Biology; Biologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestrisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; Animal Ecology; zooekologi;

    Abstract : Genetically structured populations arise when gene flow between groups of individuals is hindered by geographical, behavioural or temporal barriers. The identification of such groups is important for understanding evolution and has large implications for conservation concern. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sexual selection and the evolution of sex-role reversal in honeylocust beetles

    Author : Karoline Fritzsche; Göran Arnqvist; Adam Jones; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal Ecology; Zooekologi;

    Abstract : Sexual selection is the prime evolutionary force that makes males and females different. This process has long been viewed as one where male compete with one another and where females choose. READ MORE

  5. 3. Quantitative Trait Evolution in a Changing Environment in a Seed Beetle

    Author : Lára R. Hallsson; Mats Björklund; Derek A. Roff; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; quantitative trait; genetic variance; environmental change; temperature; seed beetle; sexual dimorphism; plasticity; inheritance; Animal Ecology; Zooekologi;

    Abstract : During the last decades the climate has been changing more rapidly than in the preceding periods. This is for instance characterized by an increase in temperature. Interestingly, such changes in the environment are not necessarily constant over time as they often show high levels of fluctuation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Living in a Variable Environment : Reproductive Decisions in Wild Bird Populations

    Author : Mårten B. Hjernquist; Lars Gustafsson; Marcel Visser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; evolutionary ecology; competition; sex allocation; paternity; EPP; inadvertent social information; migration; breeding density; territory quality; territory availability; great tit; blue tit; Ficedula albicollis; Biology; Biologi; Animal Ecology; zooekologi;

    Abstract : In nature, environments are often variable and heterogeneous influencing ecological and evolutionary processes. This thesis focus on how animals interact with their environment and how that affects the reproductive decisions they make. READ MORE

  7. 5. Male-female Coevolution in Bruchid seed beetles

    Author : Johanna Liljestrand Rönn; Göran Arnqvist; Nina Wedell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; Animal Ecology; zooekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : Male-female coevolution is at the heart of biology. It is responsible for much of the diversity we see in behaviour and morphology, and it is thought to be an important engine of speciation. READ MORE
