  1. 1. The Origin of Tetrapod Limbs and Girdles: Fossil and Developmental Evidence

    Författare :Catherine Anne Boisvert; Per Erik Ahlberg; Rolf Ohlsson; Johan Ledin; Lennart Olsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organism biology; Organismbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Around 375 million years ago, the first tetrapods appeared, marking one of the most important events in vertebrate evolutionary history. The fin to limb transition saw the appearance of fingers and a weight bearing pelvic girdle. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Endocranial Morphology and Phylogeny of Palaeozoic Gnathostomes (Jawed Vertebrates)

    Författare :Martin D. Brazeau; Per Ahlberg; Graham Budd; Henning Blom; Michael Coates; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; systematics; palaeontology; anatomy; evolution; Organism biology; Organismbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Gnathostomes, or jawed vertebrates, make up the overwhelming majority of modern vertebrate diversity. Among living vertebrates, they comprise the chondrichthyans (“cartilaginous fishes” such as sharks, skates, rays, chimaeras) and the osteichthyans (“bony fishes” or bony vertebrates, inclusive of tetrapods).

  4. 3. Morphology, Taxonomy and Interrelationships of Tristichopterid Fishes (Sarcopterygii, Tetrapodomorpha)

    Författare :Daniel Snitting; Per Erik Ahlberg; Graham Budd; Henning Blom; Zerina Johanson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Organismic biology; Sarcopterygii; Tetrapodomorpha; Tristichopteridae; biogeography; phylogeny; Computed Tomography; Devonian; Organismbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Tristichopterids (Sarcopterygii, Tetrapodomorpha) form a monophyletic group of exclusively Devonian fishes. This thesis consists of descriptions of new material of tristichopterids and closely related taxa, as well as new interpretations and descriptions of previously figured material. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Species Limits and Systematics in Some Passerine Birds

    Författare :Per Alström; Timothy M. Crowe; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organismic biology; Mirafra; Seicercus; Phylloscopus; Motacilla; species concepts; species limits; phylogeny; morphology; vocalisations; mitochondrial DNA; nuclear DNA; incongruence; Organismbiologi; Organism biology; Organismbiologi; systematisk zoologi; Systematic Zoology;

    Sammanfattning : I use morphological, vocal, molecular, behavioural, ecological and distributional data to re-evaluate the systematics of three passerine bird groups, the Mirafraassamica complex (bush-larks), the genus Seicercus ("spectacled-warblers"; with emphasis on the the S. burkii complex) and the genus Motacilla (wagtails).

  7. 5. Cardiovascular and hematological responses to voluntary apnea in humans

    Författare :Robert de Bruijn; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organism biology; Organismbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with cardiovascular and hematological responses to voluntary apnea in humans, with a special focus on O2 usage and storage. Humans, and many other air‐breathing animals, respond to apnea (breath holding) with a collection of interacting cardiovascular reflexes, which are collectively called the diving response. LÄS MER
