  1. 1. Color and wing size: identifying targets of sexual selection in Drosophila melanogaster

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Ellen Pääjärvi Våg; [2024]
    Keywords : Sexual selection; wing interference patterns; Drosophila melanogaster; visual signaling; sexuell selektion; vingmönster; bananfluga; visuell signalering;

    Abstract : This study explores the relationship between wing size, coloration, and reproductivesuccess in Drosophila melanogaster, fruit flies. Sexual selection, a key aspect ofevolutionary biology, often involves visual signaling as a means of displaying geneticinformation. READ MORE

  3. 2. The battle against sepsis : exploring the genotypic diversity of pseudomonas and proteus clinical isolates

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Suud Ahmed; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sepsis is a dangerous and potentially fatal condition that has a mysterious origin, underscoring the significance of prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment. Bacterial whole-genome sequencing, which is widely used in clinical microbiology, stands at the forefront of sequencing technologies, particularly to combat sepsis. READ MORE

  4. 3. Time Constraint and Genetic (Phenotypic) Variation in Wing Shape in a Damselfly Along a Latitudinal Gradient

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Meagan Tunon; [2020]
    Keywords : Damselfly; time constraint; wing shape; morphology; climate change;

    Abstract : This degree project examined the effect of time constraint on wing shape and phenotypic variation in wing shape along a latitudinal gradient in the damselfly species Lestes sponsa. Fore and hind wings from individuals originating from three different latitudes: North (66°N), Central (59°N) and South (54°N) Europe were treated with their native temperature and photoperiod.

  5. 4. Linear assessment in Swedish Warmblood foals : and the relationship to linear traits described at Young Horse Test

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Katarina Karlsson; [2020]
    Keywords : foal; breeding; genetic correlation; heritability; SWB; young horse test; foal inspection; gaits; conformation; linear traits; linear profiling; animal model; sport horse; warmblood; horse;

    Abstract : Of all Swedish Warmblood (SWB) foals born between 2014 and 2018 approximately 24% attended foal inspection. At the foal inspections trained judges assess conformation and gait traits by evaluating/subjective scoring five traits and making a linear profiling/description of 15 traits. READ MORE

  6. 5. Phenotypic correlates of spawning migration behaviour for roach (Rutilus rutilus) and ide (Leuciscus idus) in the stream Oknebäcken, Sweden.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för biologi och miljö (BOM)

    Author : Emma Lindbladh; Johanna Eriksson; [2020]
    Keywords : Anadromous; cyprinids; diadromous; fish migration; ide; leuciscus idus; migration barriers; PIT-tag; roach; rutilus rutilus; sex ratio; spawning migration; Sweden;

    Abstract : Migration occurs among many animal species for the purpose of, among other things, finding food or to reproduce. Spawning migration is a form of migration that occurs among many fish species where they move to another site for reproduction. The movement can be obstructed by migration barriers like road culverts. READ MORE
