  2. 1. Divergence, selection, demographic history and conservation genomics of sibling bird species in boreal forest in Northern Eurasia and the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

    Author : Kai Song; Jacob Höglund; Yue Hua Sun; Peter Halvarsson; Juha Merilä; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sichuan Jay; Siberian Jay; Chinese Grouse; Hazel Grouse; genomics; demographic history; ROH; genetic load;

    Abstract : I used two pairs of sibling boreal forest bird species to study divergence, selection, demographics, and conservation in northern Eurasia and the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau at the microsatellite level (chapter 1) and whole genome level (chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5). In chapter 1, which is the first study to describe genetic diversity of the Sichuan Jay, I used microsatellite markers to estimate genetic differentiation in Sichuan Jay and Siberian Jay populations.

  4. 2. Conservation Genetics and Speciation in Asian Forest Trees

    Author : Sofia Bodare; Martin Lascoux; Ulf Lagercrantz; François Lefèvre; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär funktionsgenomik; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Functional Genomics;

    Abstract : Tropical forests are important because they are the home of millions of species at the same time as they perform ecosystem services and provide food, cash income and raw materials for the people living there. The present thesis elucidates questions relevant to the conservation of selected forest trees as it adds to the knowledge in the phylogeny, population structure, genetic diversity and adaptation in these species.

  5. 3. Neutral and Adaptive Processes Shaping Genetic Variation in Spruce Species

    Author : Michael Stocks; Martin Lascoux; Renaud Vitalis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spruce; population genetics; adaptation; evolution; picea; approximate bayesian computation; cline;

    Abstract : Population genetic analyses can provide information about both neutral and selective evolutionary processes shaping genetic variation. In this thesis, extensive population genetic methods were used to make inferences about genetic drift and selection in spruce species. READ MORE
