  4. 3. A bear-y strong comeback: Investigating temporal genomic consequences of a recent demographic bottleneck in the Scandinavian brown bear

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Amanda Lindahl; [2023]
    Keywords : Evolutionary biology; ancient DNA; bottleneck; whole-genome sequencing;

    Abstract : The Scandinavian brown bear went through a severe bottleneck due to human actions in the early 1900’s that reduced the population to low numbers. After protective measures were taken, the population recovered and today it consists of around 3000 individuals. READ MORE

  5. 4. Sex-associated genomic variation in two ecotypes of Littorina saxatilis on the Swedish west coast

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för marina vetenskaper

    Author : Amin Ghane; [2022-09-26]
    Keywords : Littorina saxatilis; Sex chromosomes; Sex determination systems; Sex-associated genomic region;

    Abstract : Sex, one of the most conspicuous characteristics of living organisms, has always been fascinating for biologists. The diversity of sex goes much beyond a simple distinction between males and females. Many organisms have more than two mating entities, and many species show some degree of hermaphroditism, at least in part of their life cycle. READ MORE

  6. 5. Studier av genetisk bakgrund till nedsatt spermiekvalitet hos berner sennenhundar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Martin Kläschen; [2022]
    Keywords : Berner sennen; fertilitet; spermiekvalitet; spermiemorfologi; kandidatgener; DNAH1; ARCM2; RNA;

    Abstract : Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka möjliga ärftliga faktorer till nedsatt spermiekvalitet hos berner sennenhundar i Sverige. I tidigare morfologiska studier av sperma från berner sennenhundar konstaterades att de har ett förhöjt antal svansdefekter jämfört med normalvariation för hundar. READ MORE
