  1. 21. Genetic Aspects of Sexual Selection and Mate Choice in Salmonids

    Författare :Lars Forsberg; Mats Grahn; Jacob Höglund; Claus Wedekind; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; mate choice; Mhc; Major histocompatibility complex; class IIB; disassortative; assortative; microsatellite; outbreeding; supportive breeding; population; population genetics; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : The long-term genetic consequences of supportive breeding programs are not well understood. Nevertheless, stocking populations with hatchery-produced fish to compensate for losses of natural production are common practice, for example after constructions of hydroelectric power dams.

  3. 22. The ecological significance of cleistogamy

    Författare :Henrik Berg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; bet-hedging; chasmogamous; enviromnental variation; fitness; outcrossing; progeny; selling; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

    Sammanfattning : Various aspects of cleistogamy, a reproductive system combining selfing in closed (cleistogamous) flowers and potential outcrossing in open (chasmogamous) flowers, were investigated in four perennial species. The main purpose was to shed some light on the adaptive value of having a dual reproductive strategy, and to test some hypotheses on the maintenance of xenogamy. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Genetic structure of natural populations : aspects of the association between genetical and morphological variability patterns

    Författare :Ulf Lagercrantz; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; populationsgenetik; Population Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Most species comprise a number of more or less reproductively isolated subpopulations. These subpopulations may exhibit striking differences in morphology and ecology, and on the basis of those differences they are often given the rank of subspecies, race, stock, variety, etc. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Mating system evolution and self-incompatibility in the wild plant species Brassica cretica

    Författare :Kristina Aaltonen; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mating system; Brassicaceae; Brassica cretica; recombination; frequency-dependent selection; evolution; population structure; segregation distortion; SCR; self-incompatibility; SRK;

    Sammanfattning : Compared to animals like ourselves, plants have a very flexible sexual life. Most plants are, for example, hermaphrodites with the potential capacity for reproduction by self-fertilization (or selfing). LÄS MER

  7. 25. Bottlenecks and blowflies : Speciation, reproduction and morphological variation in Lucilia

    Författare :Ann-Britt Florin; Lisa Meffert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Population size; speciation; Lucilia sericata; morphological variation; Lucilia illustris; bottlenecks; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Animal Ecology; zooekologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis attempts to improve our understanding of the role of population size for the process of speciation. First, the effect of population size on speciation is studied using several meta-analyses of published laboratory experiments. LÄS MER
