1. Population Genetic Methods and Applications to Human Genomes
Abstract : Population Genetics has led to countless numbers of fruitful studies of evolution, due to its abilities for prediction and description of the most important evolutionary processes such as mutation, genetic drift and selection. The field is still growing today, with new methods and models being developed to answer questions of evolutionary relevance and to lift the veil on the past of all life forms. READ MORE

2. Genetic variation in structured populations
Abstract : It is widely acknowledged that the process of speciation in the presence of gene flow between different ecotypes is common in nature. However, the mechanisms underlying speciation are not understood. READ MORE

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

4. Genomic analysis of the process leading up to the extinction of the woolly mammoth
Abstract : Species worldwide are subject to contractions in both abundance and geographical range, and their persistence in a changing environment may thus depend on the ability to survive in small and fragmented populations. Despite the urgent need to understand how extinction works, our knowledge of pre-extinction genetic processes is limited because techniques allowing population and conservation genomics to be studied in wild threatened populations have become available only recently.

5. Genomic dynamics over contemporary time frames in wild salmonid populations
Abstract : Genetic diversity is the foundation of all biological variation. An approach for sustainable use and protection of genetic diversity is continuous sampling over space and time, i.e. monitoring. READ MORE
