  2. 16. Genetic Structuring and the Evolution of Lekking Behaviour in the White-bearded Manakin, Manacus manacus

    Author : Lisa Shorey; David McDonald; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Lek Evolution; Manacus manacus; White-bearded Manakin; Genetic Relatedness; Mating Success; Male Characteristics; Behaviour; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; populationsbiologi; Population Biology;

    Abstract : Genetic structuring is common in natural populations. It is important to identify and consider population structure when studying evolutionary processes. Recently, the discovery of genetic structuring in some lekking bird species has opened up new perspectives on our understanding of the evolution of lek mating systems. READ MORE

  4. 17. Returning to Work : geographies of Employment in Turbulent Times

    Author : Emelie Hane-Weijman; Rikard Eriksson; Urban Lindgren; Gillian Bristow; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Regional resilience; adaptability; industry relatedness; labour branching; redundancy; industry mix; re-employment; industry mobility; regional mobility;

    Abstract : This thesis adds to theorizations of resilience, by placing workers and employment on the center stage. This has been addressed by contextualizing gross employment changes and workers’ way back to employment after redundancy. Swedish longitudinal microdata from 1990-2010 were used. READ MORE

  5. 18. Genetic Variation and Relatedness of Freshwater Pearl Mussel Margaritifera margaritifera L. populations

    Author : Amra Hadzihalilovic-Numanovic; Larry Greenberg; Nils Ryman; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Margaritifera margaritifera; genetic variation; age structure; genetic distance; Biology; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : The two papers presented in this thesis focus on population genetic study on freshwater pearl mussel populations in Sweden, using RAPD method. In paper I, I examine genetic variation within and between 5 populations in a single drainage area in south western Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 19. Mating structure and nestmate relatedness in primitively social hymenoptera as revealed by microsatellites

    Author : Peter A. Thorén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Genetics; genetik;

    Abstract : Mating structure and nestmate relatedness have been estimated in social Hymenoptera with different levels of sociality. Microsatellite markers have been developed for both communal bees (Andrena scottica) and for primetively eusocial wasps (Vespula rufa). READ MORE

  7. 20. Genomic studies of contemporary processes in wild populations : with the Scandinavian brown bear as a model

    Author : Anita Norman; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Genomic tools can greatly facilitate our understanding of wild populations. For the purposes of ecology and conservation, the most pertinent insights into wild populations are those that are contemporary. READ MORE
