2. 1. Ecology and evolution of genetic and phenotypic variation in fritillary butterflies

   Author : Daniela Polic; Anders Forsman; Marjo Saastamoinen; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Evolutionary Biology; Evolutionsbiologi;

   Abstract : Understanding how eco-evolutionary processes and environmental variation shape different dimensions of biodiversity is a major goal in evolutionary biology and ecology, and essential for the successful protection of biological variation. In this thesis, I used fritillary butterflies as model organisms to explore and further understand the origin and dynamics of genetic and phenotypic variation at different hierarchical levels of organisation and across different spatial scales.

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; life history; trade-off; learning; aging; sex differences; dispersal; Caenorhabditis; Drosophila; Biologi med inriktning mot zooekologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Ecology;

   Abstract : Trade-offs prevent selection from driving all fitness-enhancing traits towards values that would maximize fitness. Life-history trade-offs, such as the one between survival and reproduction are well-studied, yet trade-offs can also involve behavioural or cognitive traits. READ MORE
