11. Diversity of soil microbial communities: In the perspective of targeting functional genes
Sammanfattning : Abstract Intensive land use in agriculture can lead to higher loss of biodiversity in soils and subsequently carbon due to tillage and application of pesticides and fertilizers. The microbial communities are pivotal to ecosystem processes in soil such as nutrient cycling, soil formation and plant productivity and thus are affected by land use. LÄS MER
12. Catching the Spore killers : Genomic conflict and genome evolution in Neurospora
Sammanfattning : A genome is shaped by many different forces. Recombination can for instance both create and maintain genetic diversity, but the need to locally reduce recombination rates will also leave specific signatures. LÄS MER
13. The roles of demography and natural selection in shaping genome-wide variation of Norway spruce
Sammanfattning : Understanding the relative contribution of genetic drift, natural selection, and mutation to genetic variation, and quantifying adaptive evolution and the effects of natural selection in species are enduring goals of evolutionary genetics. Norway spruce (Picea abies) is one of the most important conifer species that dominates from both an ecological and economical point of view in many boreal ecosystems. LÄS MER
14. Rates and patterns of genome evolution in Lepidoptera
Sammanfattning : The evolutionary consequences of genome restructuring and chromosomal rearrangements can be significant, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This thesis explores the relationships between genome restructuring, recombination, and maintenance of genetic diversity in different butterfly species. LÄS MER
15. Evolution of symbiotic lineages and the origin of new traits
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the genomic study of symbionts of two different groups of hymenopterans: bees and ants. Both groups of insects have major ecological impact, and investigating their microbiomes increases our understanding of their health, diversity and evolution. LÄS MER
