1. Evolutionary genetics and consequences of inbreeding in sand lizards (Lacerta agilis)
Sammanfattning : Inbreeding is a well-known phenomenon in evolutionary and conservation biology. In the 19th century, Charles Darwin demonstrated the detrimental effects of inbreeding in plants, followed by over a century of extensive research including various animal and plant taxa. LÄS MER
2. Pre- and post-copulatory sexual selection in the fowl, Gallus gallus
Sammanfattning : The evolutionary goal of individuals is reproduction and sexual selection favours traits improving reproductive success. When males invest less than females in offspring, males have potentially a higher reproductive rate than females. LÄS MER
3. Have a fling with your neighbour, you might be less related
Sammanfattning : Major threats to biodiversity and ecosystem persistence are fragmentation of habitats and declining population sizes. For conservation biologists to understand the consequences of declining populations for the long term persistence and recovery of species worldwide, it is important to know and understand the underlying causes of potential threats, such as the depletion of genetic diversity, which is important for populations to be able to adapt and prevail in a changing environment.

4. Genetic variation and local adaptation in peripheral populations of toads
Sammanfattning : Northern fringe populations generally have low amounts of genetic variation and inhabit habitats where specific adaptations are needed. On the Swedish west coast, the natterjack toad (Bufo calamita) inhabits skerry islands. LÄS MER
