  4. 17. 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.

  5. 18. Health enhancing physical activity, sociodemographic factors and the neighbourhood environment

    Author : Patrick Bergman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: A physically active lifestyle is beneficial for good health. Despite this, it seems that many people are not sufficiently active. Attempts to promote the population levels of physical activity have not been successful. This has led researchers to find new ways to tackle the problem. READ MORE

  6. 19. Tensions in Transdisciplinary Research : A study of a climate research group

    Author : Lakin Anderson; Caroline Waks; Linda Wedlin; Fredrik Tell; Peter Dobers; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Transdisciplinary Research; Tension; Paradox; Organization; Science Work; Sustainability; Research Groups; Business Studies; Företagsekonomi;

    Abstract : In a time of sustainability predicaments and ‘grand challenges’, transdisciplinarity has been put forward as an approach through which researchers can engage with societal transformation for a better world. This study examines tensions that arise in the on-the-ground efforts of researchers to establish and manage a transdisciplinary research group within a Norwegian university. READ MORE

  7. 20. Stress Coping Strategies in Brown Trout (Salmo Trutta): Ecological Significance and Effects of Sea-Ranching

    Author : Daniel Brelin; Svante Winberg; Erik Petersson; Jörgen Johnsson; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Two distinct stress coping strategies, proactive and reactive, have been stated in various animal studies, each associated with a set of behavioural and physiological characteristics. In a given challenging situation, proactive animals show more aggression, a higher general activity and a predominant sympathetic reaction. READ MORE
