16. Modeling Genome Evolution : Creation, Change and Destruction
Sammanfattning : Historically, evolution has been studied either by looking at morphological traits in living organisms and the fossil record, or by using bioinformatics and comparative genomics. While highly useful for deducing evolutionary history, these approaches are not particularly well suited for studying the mechanisms of evolution. LÄS MER
17. Lifestyle and Genome Evolution in Vector-Borne Bacteria : A Comparison of Three Bartonella Species
Sammanfattning : Bacterial genomes provide records of the molecular processes associated with emergence and evolution of different bacterial lifestyles. This thesis is based on whole-genome comparisons within the genus Bartonella, an excellent model system for studies of host- and vector-specificity and infection outcome in animal-associated bacteria.

18. Urban Evolution
Sammanfattning : In nature, objects formed from a dynamics on one level often form yet new objects and new dynamics on a new level. This process generates a hierarchical organization of nature that is particularly tall for objects that are of biological or human origin. LÄS MER
19. Genome evolution of a bee-associated bacterium
Sammanfattning : The use of large-scale comparative genomics allows us to explore the genetic diversity and mechanisms of evolution of related organisms. This thesis has focused on the application of such approaches to study Lactobacillus kunkeei, a bacterial inhabitant of the honeybee gut.We produced 102 novel complete genomes from L. LÄS MER
20. The Purpose of Evolution : the 'struggle for existence' in the Russian-Jewish press 1860-1900
Sammanfattning : In late 19th century Russia, Darwinism was viewed as a measuring-rod of modernity. Thus, the Jewish reception of Darwinism may serve as an indicator of the extent to which the Jews in Russia were part of the modernization of Russian society. LÄS MER
