    Sammanfattning : The diplomonads are a diverse group of eukaryotic microbes found in oxygen limited environments such as the intestine of animals were they may cause severe disease. Among them, the prominent human parasite Giardia intestinalis non-invasively colonizes the small intestine of humans and animals where it induces the gastrointestinal disease giardiasis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Determinants of genomic diversity in the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis)

    Författare :Ludovic Dutoit; Hans Ellegren; Asher Cutter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; collared flycatcher; Ficedula albicollis; enetic diversity; sexual conflict; effective population size; nucleotide diversity; linked selection; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Individuals vary from each other in their genetic content. Genetic diversity is at the core of the evolutionary theory. Rooted in a solid theoretical framework developed as early as the 1930s, current empirical observations of genomic diversity became possible due to technological advances. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Genomic Diversity and Evolution of Parasitism in Nematode-trapping Fungi

    Författare :Dag Ahrén; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; nematode-trapping fungi; expressed sequence tags; functional genomics; bioinformatics; parasitism; Genomic diversity; Evolution; Ekologi; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Nematode-trapping fungi are soil-living organisms that have the ability to form infection structures, traps to capture nematodes. Many nematode species are parasites on plants and animals, which have resulted in an interest to use the nematode-trapping fungi as biological control agents. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The use of museum specimens in conservation genomics

    Författare :Johanna von Seth; Love Dalén; Karin Norén; Gernot Segelbacher; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; conservation genomics; museum specimens; genomic erosion; diversity; inbreeding; mutational load; genetic drift; purging; population divergence; local extinction; population decline; Sumatran rhinoceros; kakapo; arctic fox; Chatham Island black robin; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : In the face of an increasing number of species being threatened by extinction, museum collections can constitute a powerful resource for acquiring genomic data of endangered taxa. By utilising datasets that combine genomes from present-day populations with those from historical timepoints, several questions relevant for conservation can be investigated. LÄS MER
