  1. 11. Effects of Social Organisation on Spatial Genetic Structures in Formica Ants

    Författare :Niclas Gyllenstrand; Michael Bruford; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Formica ants; microsatellites; monogyny; mtDNA; polygyny; social insects; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; naturvårdsbiologi; Conservation Biology;

    Sammanfattning : The social organization of social insect colonies can be broadly defined as monogynous, single reproductive female or polygynous, several reproductive females. Monogynous organization is genetically simple while polygynous is more complex and the two social forms differ commonly in mating and dispersal behaviour as well as in colony foundation. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Conservation Genetics of Wolves and their Relationship with Dogs

    Författare :Anna-Karin Sundqvist; Carles Vilà; Hans Ellegren; Michael K Schwartz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Molecular genetics; mtDNA; Y chromosome; microsatellites; breed; hybridization; domestication; introgression; predation; Genetik; Canis lupus; Canis familiaris;

    Sammanfattning : Management of wolves is a complex issue, and molecular genetics is an important tool in this work. Molecular genetics can provide important information at the species, population and individual level, which can be essential for the development of management programs aiming at the long term survival of wolf populations.

  4. 13. Sex and symbionts : New discoveries in local and regional patterns of coral ecology and reproduction

    Författare :Micaela Hellström; Michael Tedengren; Mats Grahn; John A. H. Benzie; Nancy Knowlton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Indo-Pacific; S. elegans; G. fascicularis; Symbiodinium; size; reproduction; allozymes; ITS2; mtDNA; geography; environment; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Sammanfattning : Coral reefs belong to the most diverse and the most threatened ecosystems on earth. Anthropogenic stressors and climate change have led to mortalities at levels unprecedented in modern times. The aims of this thesis are to investigate aspects of the corals’ ability to reproduce, disperse, adapt and survive. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Genetic Analyses of Bovid Remains and the Origin of Early European Cattle

    Författare :Cecilia Anderung; Anders Götherström; Eske Willerslev; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Molecular genetics; Genetik; Bos taurus; cattle; domestication; aDNA; mtDNA; SNPs;

    Sammanfattning : The aurochs Bos primigenius, extinct since 1627, was the wild progenitor of cattle. It is believed that all European cattle originate from one domestication event in the Near East 10 000 years ago. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Sensitive Forensic DNA Analysis : Application of Pyrosequencing and Real-time PCR Quantification

    Författare :Hanna Andréasson; Marie Allen; Ulf Gyllensten; Pål Nyrén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; forensic; sensitive DNA analysis; DNA quantification; mtDNA; Real-time PCR; Pyrosequencing; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : The field of forensic genetics is growing fast and the development and optimisation of more sensitive, faster and more discriminating forensic DNA analysis methods is highly important. In this thesis, an evaluation of the use of novel DNA technologies and the development of specific applications for use in forensic casework investigations are presented. LÄS MER
