1. Genomic and transcriptomic investigation of reproductive incompatibility in Drosophila
Abstract : Both nuclear and cytoplasmic elements can contribute to the emergence of reproductive incompatibilities that influence evolution and speciation. In the projects that compose this thesis, we use genomics and transcriptomics to study some of those elements in Drosophila. READ MORE

2. Long bone growth and evolution revealed by three-dimensional imaging
Abstract : Propagation phase-contrast synchrotron radiation microtomography is a non-destructive method used for studying histology in three dimensions (3D). Using it, the 3D organization of the diaphyseal cortical vascularization in the humerus of two seymouriamorphs was analyzed in this thesis. READ MORE

3. Living in a Variable Environment : Reproductive Decisions in Wild Bird Populations
Abstract : In nature, environments are often variable and heterogeneous influencing ecological and evolutionary processes. This thesis focus on how animals interact with their environment and how that affects the reproductive decisions they make. READ MORE

4. Hybrid zone dynamics, assortative mating, and migratory programmes in a willow warbler migratory divide
Abstract : In this thesis I will compare and contrast the two willow warbler subspecies (Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus and P. t. acredula) with differing migratory phenotypes (or "migratype") in the context of their migratory divide and hybrid zone in central Sweden. Their migratory programs differ in the direction and distance traveled during migration. READ MORE

5. Sources of variability in heterospecific social information use for breeding habitat selection : Role of genetics and personality in collared flycatchers
Abstract : All their life, individuals have to make decisions that may strongly affect their fitness. To optimize their decisions, they can use personally acquired information but also information obtained from observing other individuals (“social information”). READ MORE
