    Abstract : .... READ MORE

  4. 2. Hidden biodiversity in an alpine freshwater top predator : Existence, characteristics, and temporal dynamics of cryptic, sympatric brown trout populations

    Author : Anastasia Andersson; Linda Laikre; Nils Ryman; Paulo Prodöhl; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cryptic sympatry; population genetic structure; sympatric populations; intraspecific biodiversity; genetic monitoring; conservation genetics; trophic polymorphism; genetic connectivity; temporal stability; Salmo trutta; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Abstract : Intraspecific genetic diversity is imperative to the survival of species in a changing environment, and it plays a vital role in ecosystem function. Since this type of diversity can be difficult to detect it is sometimes referred to as “hidden biodiversity”. READ MORE

  5. 3. Monitoring gene level biodiversity - aspects and considerations in the context of conservation

    Author : Johan Charlier; Linda Laikre; Nils Ryman; Kjetil Hindar; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; brown trout; conservation genetics; genetic drift; genetic monitoring; effective population size; moose; one-sample approach; spatial genetic structure; statistical power; temporal data; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Abstract : The objectives of this thesis relate to questions needed to be addressed in the context of genetic monitoring for implementing the Convention on Biological Diversity for the gene level. Genetic monitoring is quantifying temporal changes in population genetic metrics. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hopeful monsters: The role of hybrids in adaptation : The impact of hybridisation and genetic diversity on adaptation to stressful and novel environments

    Author : Ciaran Gilchrist; Rike Stelkens; Christopher Wheat; Linda Laikre; Mathilde Cordellier; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Experimental evolution; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; population genetics; hybridisation; adaptation; aneuploidy; comparative genomics; evolve-and-resequence; de novo mutations; evolutionary parallelism; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Abstract : Adaptation to novel environments can only occur if natural selection has the raw material to act upon. But small, endangered populations are often genetically depleted, and the acquisition of beneficial de novo mutations often takes too long when population face quick and extreme environmental change.

  7. 5. Assessing inbreeding and loss of genetic variation in canids, domestic dog (Canis familiaris) and wolf (Canis lupus), using pedigree data

    Author : Mija Jansson; Linda Laikre; Liselotte Andersen Wesley; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Abstract : Genetic variation is necessary to maintain the ability of wild and domestic populations to genetically adapt to changed selective pressures. When relationships among individuals are known, conservation genetic management can be based on statistical pedigree analysis. READ MORE
