  1. 6. Brain Aromatase in the guppy, Poecilia reticulata : Distribution, control and role in behaviour

    Författare :Stefan Hallgren; Håkan Olsén; Bertil Borg; Julie Bakker; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Oestrogen production; behaviour; anatomy; endocrinology; bio markers; endocrine disruption; Organism biology; Organismbiologi; funktionell morfologi; Functional Zoomorphology; Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Oestrogens are produced by aromatisation of androgens by the aromatase enzyme. In the vertebrate brain this synthesis has vital functions in nerve protection, cell proliferation and nerve development during injury respectively brain development. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Chemical circuitry in the visual system of the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster

    Författare :Agata Kolodziejczyk; Dick Nässel; Axel Borst; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optic lobe; lamina; neurotransmitters; neuropeptides; tangential neurons; Animal physiology; Zoofysiologi; funktionell zoomorfologi; Functional Zoomorphology;

    Sammanfattning : Signal processing in the visual system is mediated by classic neurotransmission and neuropeptidergic modulatory pathways. In Dipteran insects, especially in the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, the morphology of the visual system is very well described. LÄS MER

  4. 8. The role of insulin signaling during development, reproductive diapause and aging in Drosophila Melanogaster

    Författare :Sifang Liao; Dick Nässel; Heinrich Dircksen; Mark Brown; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; insulin-like peptides; reproductive diapause; behavioral senescence; neuromodulator; lifespan; funktionell zoomorfologi; Functional Zoomorphology;

    Sammanfattning : The insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway exists from invertebrates to vertebrates and it can regulate various biological processes, including development, metabolism, stress resistance and lifespan. In Drosophila, eight insulin-like peptides (DILP1-8) have been found. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Genetic response to pollution in sticklebacks; natural selection in the wild

    Författare :Emma Lind; Mats Grahn; Marjorie Oleksiak; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Population genomics; genome scan; divergent selection; Gasterosteus aculeatus; Baltic Sea; pollution; funktionell zoomorfologi; Functional Zoomorphology;

    Sammanfattning : The last century, humans have been altering almost all natural environments at an accelerating rate, including the Baltic Sea that has highly eutrophicated areas and many coastal industries such as Pulp-mills. For animals living in a habitat that changes there are basically two alternatives, either to cope with the change or become locally extinct. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Circadian plasticity in the neuromuscular junction of Drosophila melanogaster

    Författare :Kerstin Mehnert; Rafael Cantera; Charlotte Helfrich-Förster; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi; funktionell morfologi; Functional Zoomorphology;

    Sammanfattning : A biological clock exists in many organisms and controls rhythmic behaviors such as the activity pattern of locomotion. At the cellular level, it has been shown that circadian rhythms in the morphology of neurons exist in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. LÄS MER
