  1. 1. Exploring Brain Gene Expression i Animal Models of Behaviour

    Författare :Julia Lindberg; Elena Jazin; Peter Saetre; Jonathan Flint; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Biology; behavioural genetics; gene expression; brain; microarray analysis; domestication; animal model; haem; Canis familiaris; Vulpes vulpes; Mus musculus; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : The genetic basis for behavioural traits is largely unknown. The overall aim of this thesis was to find genes with importance for behavioural traits related to fear and anxiety. Microarray analysis was used to screen expression profiles of brain regions important for emotional behaviour in dogs, wolves, foxes and mice. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Animal husbandry in the Viking Age town of Birka and its hinterland : excavations in the black earth 1990-95

    Författare :Bengt Wigh; Anne Karin Hufthammer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; animal husbandry; domestication; Viking Age; Birka; cattle; pig; sheep; horse; dog; cat; fur trade; Boskapsskötsel; Kreaturshandel; Uppland; Birka; vikingatiden; Osteologi; historisk osteologi; Historical Osteology;

    Sammanfattning : The Birka Excavations 1990-95 provided a unique opportunity to excavate a Swedish Viking Age town stratigraphically, allowing the finds - including extensive and well-preserved faunal remains - to be dated accurately. This in turn has given the opportunity to study the nature and development of Viking Age animal husbandry in a new, closer perspective. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Barn och djur i den karnofallogocentriska ordningen : En barndomsfilosofisk studie i Jacques Derridas tänkande

    Författare :Anette Kristensson; Lucas Gottzén; David Payne; Jonna Bornemark; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; child; animal; carnophallogocentrism; deconstruction; barn- och ungdomsvetenskap; Child and Youth Studies;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis analyzes the concepts of the child and the animal at the border of the definition of human. This is achieved through an interdisciplinary perspective that combines childhood philosophy, psychoanalytic theory, and critical animal studies. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Correlated selection responses in animal domestication : the behavioural effects of a growth QTL in chickens

    Författare :Anders Wirén; Per Jensen; Elena Jazin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Studying animal domestication offers an opportunity to understand the mechanisms of evolution. Domestication is associated with a change in selection pressures; selection for production traits is introduced, and animals are faced with larger and denser social groups. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Domestication Effects on the Stress Response in Chickens : Genetics, Physiology, and Behaviour

    Författare :Amir Fallahshahroudi; Per Jensen; Frank Albert; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Animal domestication; stress response; gene expression; QTL; eQTL;

    Sammanfattning : Animal domestication, the process where animals become adapted to living in proximity to humans, is associated with the alteration of multiple traits, including decreased fearfulness and stress response. With an estimated population of 50 billion, the domesticated chicken is the most populous avian species in the world. LÄS MER
