1. Diversity and phylogeography in Alisma (Alismataceae), with emphasis on Northern European taxa
Sammanfattning : In the present thesis the phylogeny and patterns of genetic diversity of the plant genus Alisma (Alismataceae) were investigated by means of genetic markers (RAPDs, allozymes, and ITS and trnL sequences). Additionally, morphological studies were carried out in paper IV. LÄS MER
2. Geographic Variation, Hybridization and Evolution in the Bladder Campions, Silene vulgaris and S. uniflora (Caryophyllaceae)
Sammanfattning : In the present thesis, I investigated the inter- and intraspecific variation in the Silene vulgaris/uniflora species-complex (the bladder campions). I have focused on the effects of past and present hybridization both on a large scale ? over the whole of Europe ? and on a local scale. Silene vulgaris and S. LÄS MER
3. Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions from modern and ancient plant DNA
Sammanfattning : Palaeoecological studies on lake sediments and peat archives have provided fundamental knowledge about past environments, nevertheless, a lot remains to be learned. In this thesis, I focussed on plant ancient DNA extracted from sedimentary archives (sedaDNA), in combination with DNA from living trees with the aims of: (1) investigating different extraction methods and levels of inhibition in sediments, (2) investigating postglacial recolonisation history of Norway spruce in Fennoscandia, (3) comparing different sequencing and bioinformatic approaches to investigate past flora changes using sedaDNA and investigating past flora change in contrasting environments (southern Italy versus southern Sweden), and (4) communicating my work more broadly using art.

4. Extending dynamic vegetation models to simulate range shifts
Sammanfattning : In response to rapid climate change and increasing human pressure, a wide variety of taxa have shifted their distribution in the past decades (range shift), with important consequences for ecosystem services and human health and economy. However, it is not yet clear whether most species will be able to track their favourable habitats or lag behind the climate signal (migration lag). LÄS MER
5. Stenbruk : Stenartefakter, råmaterial och mobilitet i östra Mellansverige under tidig- och mellanmesolitikum
Sammanfattning : This thesis examines artefacts, raw materials and lithic technology between c. 9200–6200 cal BC in Eastern Central Sweden. The overall purpose of this study is to investigate when people first came to Eastern Central Sweden and where they came from. LÄS MER
