1. Catching the Spore killers : Genomic conflict and genome evolution in Neurospora
Abstract : A genome is shaped by many different forces. Recombination can for instance both create and maintain genetic diversity, but the need to locally reduce recombination rates will also leave specific signatures. READ MORE

2. Genomic and transcriptomic investigation of reproductive incompatibility in Drosophila
Abstract : Both nuclear and cytoplasmic elements can contribute to the emergence of reproductive incompatibilities that influence evolution and speciation. In the projects that compose this thesis, we use genomics and transcriptomics to study some of those elements in Drosophila. READ MORE

3. Determinants of genomic diversity in the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis)
Abstract : Individuals vary from each other in their genetic content. Genetic diversity is at the core of the evolutionary theory. Rooted in a solid theoretical framework developed as early as the 1930s, current empirical observations of genomic diversity became possible due to technological advances. READ MORE

4. Genomic studies of sex differences : On mutations, recombination, and sexual antagonism in songbirds
Abstract : Many organisms have separate sexes, i.e., males and females. The presence of separate sexes causes sex-specific selection regimes and sexual antagonism, which can lead to sex differences in morphology, physiology, and behaviours. READ MORE

5. The genomic basis of the response to female-limited X-chromosome evolution
Abstract : In this thesis, I attempted to achieve a better understanding of the nature of X-linked polymorphic loci using a female-limited X chromosome (FLX) experimental evolution in Drosophila melanogaster. I expected that expressing the evolved X chromosome will result in an increase in female fitness and a decrease in male fitness. READ MORE
