1. 1. Genomic studies of mating system variation in flowering plants

   Författare :Juanita Gutiérrez-Valencia; Tanja Slotte; Magne Friberg; Mario Vallejo-Marín; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mating system evolution; cross- and self-fertilization; distyly; supergenes; complex phenotypic polymorphism; convergent evolution; homostyly; loss-of-function mutation; intrasexual competition; pollen; purifying selection; Linum; Arabis alpina; Ecology and Evolution; ekologi och evolution;

   Sammanfattning : The striking diversity of reproductive strategies that flowering plants exhibit remains one of the most intriguing conundrums in evolutionary biology. Pollination-related traits and mating system strategies have a major impact on the processes shaping plant evolution through their effects on genetic diversity and selection. LÄS MER

3. 2. Mating system evolution and self-incompatibility in the wild plant species Brassica cretica

   Författare :Kristina Aaltonen; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mating system; Brassicaceae; Brassica cretica; recombination; frequency-dependent selection; evolution; population structure; segregation distortion; SCR; self-incompatibility; SRK;

   Sammanfattning : Compared to animals like ourselves, plants have a very flexible sexual life. Most plants are, for example, hermaphrodites with the potential capacity for reproduction by self-fertilization (or selfing). LÄS MER

4. 3. Breeding System Evolution and Pollination Success in the Wind-Pollinated Herb Plantago maritima

   Författare :Emil Nilsson; Jon Ågren; Pia Mutikainen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Breeding system; mating system; gynodioecy; male sterility; reproductive output; self-compatibility; self-incompatibility; wind-pollination; founder event; genetic structure; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I examined variation in sex expression and mating patterns in the sexually polymorphic, wind-pollinated herb Plantago maritima. With a combination of field studies, greenhouse experiments, and genetic analyses, I (a) examined factors influencing sex ratio variation in gynodioecious plants (in which hermaphrodites and females coexist), (b) discovered variation in breeding system, (c) investigated density-dependence of seed production, and (d) documented genetic variation within and among populations close to the northern range margin in Europe.

5. 4. Demography and Polyploidy in Capsella

   Författare :Kate St.Onge; Anna Palmé; Martin Lascoux; Ulf Lagercrantz; Richard Abbott; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Approximate Bayesian Computation; Mating system; Brassicaceae; flowering time; genetic diversity; Evolution; Biology; Biologi;

   Sammanfattning : Studies of demography and population structure give insight into important evolutionary processes such as speciation and diversification. In the present work I perform such studies in the genus Capsella, which has three species: C. grandiflora, an outcrossing diploid, C. rubella a selfing diploid, and C. LÄS MER

7. 5. Life history evolution in a bivoltine butterfly

   Författare :Helena Larsdotter Mellström; Christer Wiklund; Klaus Fischer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bivoltine; Diapause; Lepidoptera; Life history; Mating system; Pheromone; Polyphenism; Population density; Sexual selection; Sperm competition; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

   Sammanfattning : Evolution is not always straight-forward, as selection pressures may differ between different generations of the same species. This thesis focuses on the evolution of life history of the model species, the Green-veined White butterfly Pieris napi. In central Sweden P. napi has two generations per year. LÄS MER
