  1. 1. Dispersal, inbreeding and fitness in natural populations

    Författare :Bengt Hansson; MEMEG; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immigration; inbreeding; inbreeding depression; heterozygosity; microsatellite; great reed warbler; bird; Djurekologi; Animal ecology; philopatry; heritability; founder event; dispersal; bottleneck;

    Sammanfattning : To evaluate how inbreeding affects the viability of small populations, it is crucial to determine what constitutes a population (i.e., the number of breeders in local patches and the degree of dispersal), and also to estimate the reproductive consequences of philopatry and emigration.

  3. 2. Dynamics of inbreeding and genetic rescue in a small population

    Författare :Malin Hasselgren; Karin Norén; Carles Vilà; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; inbreeding; inbreeding depression; genetic rescue; fitness; genomics; conservation genetics; mutational load; arctic fox; pedigree; gene flow; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Isolation at small population size can reduce individual fitness and impede population growth caused by inbreeding and genetic drift (i.e. inbreeding depression). Inbreeding depression can however be circumvented by gene flow from unrelated individuals through masking of recessive deleterious alleles and contribute to population persistence (i. LÄS MER

    Författare :Louise Hathaway; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; chemotaxonomy. Physiology of nonvascular plants; phytogeography; morphology; outbreeding depression; Systematic botany; taxonomy; ITS; fitnes; inbreeding depression; AFLP; PCR-RFLP; cpDNA; gene flow; postglacial migration; geographic variation; hybridization; Silene latifolia; Silene section Elisanthe; Silene dioica; Systematisk botanik; taxonomi; morfologi; kemotaxonomi. Växters fysiologi inte kärlväxter .;

    Sammanfattning : Large-scale patterns of genetic variation in chloroplast (cp) and nuclear DNA in the widespread European herb species Silene latifolia and S. dioica were investigated using cpPCR-RFLPs, non-coding cpDNA sequences, AFLPs and sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA).

  5. 4. Gene transfer by interspecific hybridization in bryophytes

    Författare :Weerachon Sawangproh; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; homozygote; heterozygote; admixture; single nucleotide polymorphism; STRUCTURE; PCoA; hybrid index; inbreeding; outbreeding; hybrid depression; heterosis; phylogeny; purging selection; genetic purging; genotype; phenotype; sympatry; allopatry;

    Sammanfattning : The role of hybridization in evolution has been debated for more than a century regarding bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) as well as most other organisms. Bryophytes have haplodiplontic life cycles with a dominant haploid generation. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Evolutionary genetics and consequences of inbreeding in sand lizards (Lacerta agilis)

    Författare :Badreddine Bererhi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inbreeding; sand lizards; evolutionary genetics;

    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
