  2. 11. In Murky waters : Swedish demosponges and their genealogies

    Author : Raquel Pereira; Mikael Thollesson; Hanna Johannesson; Dirk Erpenbeck; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Porifera; Swedish sponge fauna; Spongilla lacutsris; population structure; Suberites; Suberitida; Syringella; Systematics; Biology with specialization in Systematics; Biologi med inriktning mot systematik;

    Abstract : Swedish Sponge fauna last updated happened over 80’s years ago. This fact explains, partially, the country’s low sponge. READ MORE

  4. 12. The Genetics of Speciation and Colouration in Carrion and Hooded Crows

    Author : Jelmer Poelstra; Jochen Wolf; Hans Ellegren; Chris Jiggins; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; evolutionary genetics; genomics; birds; next-generation sequencing; pigmentation; pigmentation genetics; eumelanin; social selection; gene expression; population genomics; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : A fundamental goal in biological research is to gain an understanding of the evolutionary processes and genetic elements that drive speciation. Genes responsible for reproductive isolation in young divergent lineages are particularly poorly known. In this thesis, the speciation genetics of carrion (Corvus (corone) corone) and hooded (C. READ MORE

  5. 13. Rates and patterns of molecular evolution in avian genomes

    Author : Paulina Bolívar; Hans Ellegren; Carina F. Mugal; Mikkel Heide Schierup; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular evolution; recombination; GC-biased gene conversion; Hill-Robertson interference; effective population size; dN dS; distribution of fitness effects; avian genomes; collared flycatcher; sex chromosomes; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : Evolution is the change in inherited characteristics of a population through subsequent generations. The interplay of several evolutionary mechanisms determines the rate at which this change occurs. READ MORE

  6. 14. The Otter (Lutra lutra) in Sweden : Contaminants and Health

    Author : Anna Roos; Jan Örberg; Björn Brunström; Katrin Lundstedt-Enkel; Susan Shaw; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Otter Lutra lutra ; PCB; DDT; PFAAs; reproduction; bone; time trends; Biologi med inriktning mot ekotoxikologi; Biology with specialization in Environmental Toxicology;

    Abstract : In the 1950s the otter started to decline in numbers and distribution in Sweden and other parts of Europe. In 1972 a game law came into force, listing otter as a species that if found dead should be reported and sent to the authorities. The numbers of dead otters reported from different areas indicate population status and distribution. READ MORE

  7. 15. Determinants of genomic diversity in the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis)

    Author : Ludovic Dutoit; Hans Ellegren; Asher Cutter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; collared flycatcher; Ficedula albicollis; enetic diversity; sexual conflict; effective population size; nucleotide diversity; linked selection; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    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
