1. Specific language impairment: Neurophysiological studies of children and their parents
Abstract : Specific language impairment (SLI) is commonly described as a condition where a child with otherwise normal development and hearing does not acquire language as expected. Children with SLI often have a family history of language disorders. The aetiology is poorly understood. READ MORE

2. Olfactory genomics of bark- and ambrosia beetles : Evolution and function of chemoreceptors
Abstract : Insect behaviours, such as host and mate selection, are often mediated by chemical cues. The chemical cuesare detected by large and rapidly evolving families of chemoreceptors which include odorant receptors (ORs),gustatory receptors (GRs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs). READ MORE

3. Observations of young core collapse supernova remnants
Abstract : Studies of young remnants offer an opportunity to test theoretical models of stellar evolution, explosion models and nucleosynthesis, as well as our understanding of the compact objects in the centre of the exploded stars.The first part of the thesis involves observations of the Crab nebula.

4. From sequence to function : Comparative studies of insect olfactory receptors
Abstract : In insects airborne odors are detected by the odorant receptors (ORs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs), located on the dendritic membrane of the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) housed in olfactory sensilla. The OR and IR gene families show high plasticity in lineage expansion and contraction following the birth-and-death evolutionary model. READ MORE

5. Evolution of olfaction in Lepidoptera and Trichoptera : Gene families and antennal morphology
Abstract : In moths, females produce sex pheromone compounds to attract males over a long distance for mating. The antennae of moths and many other insects have specialized odorant receptors (ORs), called pheromone receptors (PRs), to sense the pheromone compounds and they group in a monophyletic clade (PR clade).
