  2. 26. Population Genetics and Genome Organization of Norway Spruce

    Author : Hanna Larsson; Martin Lascoux; Bruno Fady; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Picea abies; demographic history; linkage disequilibrium; HMPR; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär funktionsgenomik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Functional Genomics;

    Abstract : Understanding the underlying genetic causes of adaptation to local conditions is one of the main goals of population genetics. A strong latitudinal cline in the phenotypic trait of bud set is observed in present day populations of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst). READ MORE

  4. 27. Past demography and local adaptation in forest trees : Insights from natural populations and breeding programs of Norway spruce

    Author : Lili Li; Martin Lascoux; Brunno Fady; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; clines; demographic history; local adaptation; Picea abies; Picea obovata; population genetic structure; Swedish breeding program; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Abstract : Spatial changes in natural selection patterns can give rise to local adaptation and genetic differentiation between populations. Local adaptation for phenological traits is pronounced in many forest tree species. READ MORE

  5. 28. Economic development and injury mortality : Studies in global trends from a health transition perspective

    Abstract : Globally, injury is a major public health problem. The extent of the problem varies considerably by demographic subgroups, regions and national income. READ MORE

  6. 29. Population Genetic Structure of Black Grouse (Tetrao tetrix) : From a Large to a Fine Scale Perspective

    Author : Carolina Corrales Duque; Jacob Höglund; Staffan Bensch; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; black grouse; control region; demographic expansion; kin selection; lek; microsatellites; non-invasive sampling; postglacial colonisation; philopatry; phylogeography; sex-biased dispersal; spatial genetics; subspecies; suture zone; refugia; Biology; Biologi; Systematics and phylogenetics; Systematik och fylogeni; Biologi med inriktning mot populationsbiologi; Biology with specialization in Population Biology;

    Abstract : Black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) is a bird species with a lek mating system found in the Palearctic boreal taiga. It is assumed that it has a continuous distribution along Scandinavia and Siberia, whereas in Central Europe it has declined during the last decades. READ MORE

  7. 30. Type 1 diabetes in children with non-Swedish background : epidemiology and clinical outcome

    Author : Ulf Söderström; Jan Åman; Ulf Samuelsson; Anders Hjern; Jannet Svensson; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 1 diabetes; HbA1c; children; adolescents; ethnicity; epidemiology; immigration; adoption; socio-demographic; registers; Medicine; Medicin;

    Abstract : Sweden holds third place of diabetes incidence in young people after Finland and Sardinia. One fifth of the population is nowadays of foreign descent. We have a substantial number of immigrants from countries where the risk for T1D is considerably lower. READ MORE
