  3. 2. Genetic diversity and hardiness in Scots pine from Scandinavia to Russia

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Jenny Olsson; [2019]
    Keywords : Pinus sylvestris; recolonization history; genetic diversity; cold hardiness; clinal variation;

    Abstract : The postglacial recolonization of northern Europe supposedly originated from Western Europe and the Russian Plain, however, recent molecular and macrofossil-based investigations suggest that the history may be more complex than previously thought. This study aims to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of Scots pine from Scandinavia to Russia to re-evaluate its recolonization history, and to examine whether the pattern of spatial genetic diversity has any adaptive significance.

  5. 4. Ancient DNA from soils and sediments from the Krigstjärn area, northern Sweden : Preservation and detection of Holocene mammal sedaDNA

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Anne van Woerkom; [2016]
    Keywords : ancient DNA; faunal reconstruction; palaeoecology; lake sediments; glacial vegetation;
