  1. 1. On the role of migration for the distribution of arctic birds - a circumpolar perspective

    Författare :Sara Henningsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bird migration; broad-scale distributions; geographic breeding range; geography of migration; non-breeding range; barriers to migration; Arctic birds; evolution of migration routes;

    Sammanfattning : Flexibility as well as constraints to the evolution of migration routes has the possibility of affecting large-scale patterns of geographical ranges of animals both by facilitating, but sometimes restricting, accessibility to and colonization of new regions. This dissertation concerns the broad-scale effects migration has on the distributional patterns of birds in the Arctic. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Geographic Distribution of Intra-specific Variation in Widespread Eurasian boreo-nemoral Woodland Herbs

    Författare :Torbjörn Tyler; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; kemotaxonomi. Växters fysiologi inte kärlväxter .; Plant genetics; Växtgenetik; morfologi; chemotaxonomy. Physiology of nonvascular plants; Systematisk botanik; taxonomi; phytogeography; morphology; taxonomy; historical biogeography; Systematic botany; allozymes; population differentiation; postglacial migration; genetic variation; geographic variation;

    Sammanfattning : Many woodland plant species have huge distribution areas covering large parts of the Eurasian continent including areas that were glaciated during the last glacial period. In the present thesis, the geographic distribution of variation within such species is investigated and discussed in relation to glacial survival and post-glacial migration, dispersal ability, breeding system and levels of gene-flow between populations and related species, and various methods to measure and analyse genetic variation.

  4. 3. Immunoecology of the Great Snipe (Gallinago media) : Mate Choice, MHC Variation, and Humoral Immunocompetence in a Lekking Bird

    Författare :Robert Ekblom; Jacob Höglund; Mats Grahn; Scott V. Edwards; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Behaviour; Major histocompatibility complex class II B; Sexual selection; Evolution; Leks; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : At the centre of the vertebrate immune system is a group of proteins called MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecules. These function in self – non self recognition and activation of the immune defence against intruding parasites and pathogens. LÄS MER
