1. Gene Mapping in Ficedula Flycatchers
Sammanfattning : In order to get full understanding of how evolution proceeds in natural settings it is necessary to reveal the genetic basis of the phenotypic traits that play a role for individual fitness in different environments. There are a few possible approaches, most of which stem from traditional mapping efforts in domestic animals and other model species. LÄS MER
2. On the Evolution of the Avian Transcriptome
Sammanfattning : Change in gene expression is a powerful tool for evolution, because seemingly small expression changes can contribute important steps towards adaptation without necessarily affecting the whole organism. There is still much to learn about how gene expression evolves on genome- and population-wide levels, especially in non-model organisms. LÄS MER
3. Determinants of genomic diversity in the collared flycatcher (Ficedula albicollis)
Sammanfattning : Individuals vary from each other in their genetic content. Genetic diversity is at the core of the evolutionary theory. Rooted in a solid theoretical framework developed as early as the 1930s, current empirical observations of genomic diversity became possible due to technological advances. LÄS MER
4. Speciation - What Can be Learned from a Flycatcher Hybrid Zone?
Sammanfattning : Studies of hybrid zones offer important insights into the process of speciation. Much of the knowledge to be gained is dependent on an accurate estimation of the strength of pre- and post-zygotic isolation between hybridizing taxa. My results demonstrate that hybridization can variously affect different components of fitness. LÄS MER
5. Avian Malaria and Interspecific Interactions in Ficedula Flycatchers
Sammanfattning : Parasitism is a core theme in ecological and evolutionary studies. Despite this, there are still gaps in our knowledge regarding host-parasite interactions in nature. LÄS MER
