  1. 6. Defence on Demand : A physiological perspective on phenotypic plasticity in anti-predator traits

    Författare :Jerker Vinterstare; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phenotypic plasticity; inducible defences; stress physiology; cortisol; immune function; trade-offs; sexual dimorphism; crucian carp; visual ecology; predator-prey interactions; POMC pro-opiomelanocortin ; colour change; eco-immunology; Anti-predator defences; Inducible morphological defence; Phenotypic plasticity; Stress physiology; Cortisol; Immune function; Crucian carp; Predator-prey interactions; Trade-offs; Sexual dimorphism; POMC; Pro-opiomelanocortin; Visual ecology; Eye evolution; Melanin; Eco-immunology; Pace-of-life; Behavioural plasticity;

    Sammanfattning : Almost all species face some degree of predation risk, and, hence, evolution has produced a plethora of anti-predator defences. However, anti-predator strategies require resources, and the prevailing risk of becoming prey is influenced by many factors and rarely constant across time and space. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Evolutionary consequences of sex-specific selection

    Författare :Josefine Stångberg; Elisabeth Bolund; Elina Immonen; Jennifer Perry; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Caenorhabditis remanei; Callosobruchus maculatus; sex-specific selection; sexual selection; experimental evolution; intralocus sexual conflict; life history evolution; sexual dimorphism; trade-offs; Quantitative genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Sex-specific selection is widespread, evident by the evolution of sexual dimorphism in many traits in sexually reproducing taxa. The reason why the sexes may experience selection that differs in direction or magnitude is often linked to the reproductive strategies associated with the sex-specific reproductive physiology.

  7. 10. On the endemic Fucus radicans in the Baltic Sea

    Författare :Ellen Schagerström; Lena Kautsky; Inga Kjersti Sjøtun; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; seaweed; sexual reproduction; clonality; fragmentation; dimorphism; salinity; distribution; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Sammanfattning : The brown macroalgae Fucus radicans is endemic to the Baltic Sea, but little is known about this newly described species. This thesis investigates the ecology and role of F. radicans within the species poor Baltic Sea ecosystem. The thallus of F. LÄS MER
