  1. 11. Population Genetic Analyses of Natal Dispersal and Substructure in Three Bird Species

    Författare :Tobias Sahlman; Jan Ekman; Jacob Höglund; Ben J. Hatchwell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Ecology; Perisoreus infaustus; Gallinago media; Lagopus muta; relatedness; philopatry; biased dispersal; phylogeography; microsatellite; mitochondrial DNA; Ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Genetic variation within and among populations is a result of past and ongoing processes. Among the most important of such processes are dispersal, habitat fragmentation and selection. This thesis use neutral genetic variation as a tool to investigate these processes in three bird species. LÄS MER

  3. 12. The plasticity and geography of host use and the diversification of butterflies

    Författare :Jessica Slove Davidson; Niklas Janz; Tommi Nyman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nymphalidae; host range; phylogeny; distribution; latitude; phylogeography; local specialisation; colonisation; host shift; polyphagy; speciation; diversification; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Our world is changing rapidly and factors like urbanisation, changed agricultural practices and climate change are causing losses in butterfly diversity. It is therefore of importance to understand the source of their diversity. LÄS MER

  4. 13. A forest dark : an evolutionary history of Norway spruce

    Författare :Alexis R. Sullivan; Xiao-Ru Wang; Nathaniel Street; María Rosario García-Gil; Bengt Oxelman; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phylogenetics; genome assembly; recombination; Picea; hybridization; mitogenome; Norway spruce; phylogeography; phylogenetic networks; plastome;

    Sammanfattning : Embedded within the relationships among species is a dense forest of gene trees, each with a potentially unique and discordant history. Such widespread genealogical heterogeneity is expected, but embracing this hierarchy of discordance while reconstructing the histories of populations and species remains a major challenge. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Phylogeography and mitochondrial DNA diversity in arctic lemmings

    Författare :Vadim B. Fedorov; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Genetics; genetik;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the effects of Quaternary environmental fluctuations on the present patterns of mitochondrial DNA variation in the wood lemming, Myopus schisticolor, and the two genera of Arctic lemmings: collared lemmings, Dicrostonyx, and true lemmings, Lemmus.The phylogeographic pattern and the limited mtDNA diversity in the Scandinavian populations of the wood lemming reflect recent colonization by a limited number of founders during the Holocene boreal forest expansion.

  7. 15. Systematics of polyploid Dactylorhiza (Orchidaceae) - genetic diversity, phylogeography and evolution

    Författare :Sofie Olofsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microsatellites; allozymes; ITS; plastid DNA; Dactylorhiza majalis ssp. traunsteineri; allopolyploidy; AFLPs; immigration history; diploidization; hybridization;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examines genetic variation in allotetraploids of the Dactylorhiza incarnata/maculata polyploid complex in different parts of Europe. The molecular markers used were AFLPs, allozymes, ITS, nuclear microsatellites and plastid DNA markers. LÄS MER
