1. Speciation genomics : A perspective from vertebrate systems
Abstract : Species are vital entities in biology. Species are generally considered to be discrete entities, consisting of a group of (usually interbreeding) individuals that are similar in phenotype and genetic composition, yet differ in significant ways from other species. READ MORE

2. Speciation genomics in Ficedula flycatchers
Abstract : Understanding what evolutionary processes have shaped patterns of genomic differentiation between species is a major aim of speciation genomics. However, disentangling the role of different processes that generate similar patterns remains a substantial challenge. READ MORE

3. The Genetics of Speciation and Colouration in Carrion and Hooded Crows
Abstract : A fundamental goal in biological research is to gain an understanding of the evolutionary processes and genetic elements that drive speciation. Genes responsible for reproductive isolation in young divergent lineages are particularly poorly known. In this thesis, the speciation genetics of carrion (Corvus (corone) corone) and hooded (C.

4. Adaptive divergence in fission yeast : From experimental evolution to evolutionary genomics
Abstract : How adaptation and population differentiation occur is fundamental to understand the origin of biodiversity. Work in speciation alongside the increased ease of generating genomic data have allowed the exploration of genomic changes relevant to adaptation. READ MORE

5. Conifer Evolution, from Demography and Local Adaptation to Evolutionary Rates : Examples from the Picea genus
Abstract : Evolutionary process can be inferred at three different levels: the species level, the population level and the molecular level. In this thesis, I applied approaches at these three levels and aimed to get a comprehensive picture of conifer evolution, from speciation and demography to geographic variation and local adaptation, and then to the molecular evolution of proteins and small regulatory RNAs.
