2. 1. Genomic analysis of the process leading up to the extinction of the woolly mammoth

   Author : Patrícia Pečnerová; Love Dalén; Mark Thomas; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; woolly mammoth; Mammuthus primigenius; extinction; Wrangel Island; ancient DNA; palaeogenetics; population genetics; genomics; genomic erosion; genetic drift; inbreeding; population size; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

   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.

4. 2. Palaeogenomic reconstruction of woolly mammoth evolutionary history and extinction dynamics

   Author : Marianne Dehasque; Love Dalén; David Díez-del-Molino; Rike Stelkens; Rebecca N. Johnson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; woolly mammoth; Mammuthus primigenius; extinction; Wrangel Island; ancient DNA; palaeogenomics; radiocarbon dating; structural variants; genome erosion; population structure; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

   Abstract : Biodiversity is declining globally. Yet, the biological and genetic processes associated with these declines on a longer timescale are still poorly understood. Ancient DNA is a powerful tool to study evolution in real-time. Despite advances in the field, there is further need for refinement of laboratory and computational techniques. READ MORE

5. 3. The use of museum specimens in conservation genomics

   Author : Johanna von Seth; Love Dalén; Karin Norén; Gernot Segelbacher; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; conservation genomics; museum specimens; genomic erosion; diversity; inbreeding; mutational load; genetic drift; purging; population divergence; local extinction; population decline; Sumatran rhinoceros; kakapo; arctic fox; Chatham Island black robin; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

   Abstract : In the face of an increasing number of species being threatened by extinction, museum collections can constitute a powerful resource for acquiring genomic data of endangered taxa. By utilising datasets that combine genomes from present-day populations with those from historical timepoints, several questions relevant for conservation can be investigated. READ MORE

6. 4. Genetic structure, demographic change and extinction dynamics in the collared lemming and woolly mammoth

   Author : Eleftheria Palkopoulou; Love Dalén; Richard Edward Green; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

   Abstract : In light of current climate change it is critical to understand how different species have been affected in the past by well-known climatic events. In this thesis, DNA was retrieved from ancient material to study the population dynamics of two cold-adapted taxa that capture the extremes of body size range in mammals: the collared lemming (Dicrostonyx sp.

7. 5. Molecular Profiling of the Population Dynamics : Foundation and Expansion of an Archaic Domesticate

   Author : Arman Ardalan; Peter Savolainen; Love Dalén; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dog; wolf; dingo; mtDNA; NRY; SNP; Madagascar; Australia; domestication;

   Abstract : "An ‘exponential growth of science’ throughout modern history has been frequently boasted by numerous narcissistic accounts of ‘modern humanity.’ Nonetheless, ‘modern science’ seems to have overwhelmingly compromised on its original promises by fitting into an ‘industrial scheme.
