  2. 1. Deflating selection : On the interpretation and application of evolutionary theory

    Author : Björn Brunnander; Sören Häggqvist; Paul Needham; Denis Walsh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; ambiguity; causal factor; drift; evolutionary theory; force; function; intentional psychology; interpretation; multiple realisation; natural selection; philosophical method; pre-theoretical influence; redundancy; Theoretical Philosophy; teoretisk filosofi;

    Abstract : Although the theory of evolution is well-established it nevertheless presents us with a few unresolved matters of interpretation. One key task is to get clear about what exactly one should take the term 'natural selection' to denote. READ MORE

  4. 2. Selection in sperm and its consequences : Exploring haploid selection, ageing and epigenetic effects in sperm

    Author : Cosima Hermans Née Hotzy; Simone Immler; Göran Arnqvist; Mariana Wolfner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sperm; evolution; selection; haploid selection; epigenetics; sperm-mediated effects; trans-generational effects; sperm ageing; sperm senescence;

    Abstract : Sexually reproducing eukaryotes are typically going through a biphasic life cycle with a diploid and a haploid phase. Unlike in plants where selection on haploid pollen genotypes is well established, the possibility of selection occurring in animal sperm is currently not known. READ MORE

  7. 5. Robust inference of gene regulatory networks : System properties, variable selection, subnetworks, and design of experiments

    Abstract : In this thesis, inference of biological networks from in vivo data generated by perturbation experiments is considered, i.e. deduction of causal interactions that exist among the observed variables. Knowledge of such regulatory influences is essential in biology. READ MORE
