2. Investigation of the role of insulin receptor genes in wing polyphenism using gene knockdown and differential gene expression analysis in the non-model organism Gerris buenoi
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ekologi och genetikAbstract : Wing polyphenism is a type of phenotypic plasticity present in several insect species whereby a genotype have the ability to develop alternative wing morphs when exposed to different environmental cues.

I present a shallow lake ecosystem model where producers, grazers, carnivores, piscivores, and detritivores are coupled through resource (light, nutrients and detritus) fluxes between the benthic and pelagic habitats and through carnivore life history events (ontogenetic habitat and diet shifts).
