  1. 1. Detecting structural variants in the DNA of the inbred Scandinavian wolf

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Lars Huson; [2023]
    Keywords : animal; animal population; bioinformatics; biological sciences; biology; Canis lupus; CNV; conservation genetics; conservation genomics; copy-number variation; DNA; endangered population; endangered species; evolution; evolutionary biology; extinction; genetic diversity; genetics; genetic variation; genomes; genomics; grey wolf; inbreeding; inbreeding depression; indel; mutation; pedigree; population genetics; population genomics; Scandinavia; smoove; snakemake; structural variant; SV; wolf; wolves;

    Abstract : Only 40 years ago, just three individuals made the journey from Finland/Russia to found the current wolf population in the southwest of Sweden. This population, that to this date descends from less than 10 founders, has a substantial increased extinction risk due to inbreeding. READ MORE

  3. 2. A recipe for fish and SNPs : Filling the blanks for conservation genomics of Swedish wels catfish (Silurus glanis) populations

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ekologi och genetik; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Lars Littmann; [2022]
    Keywords : Catfish; Silurus glanis; Genomics; Genetics; Conservation; Mitochondrial; Whole-genome; NGS; Sweden;

    Abstract : Swedish populations of Wels catfish (Silurus glanis) experienced severe declines during the 19th and 20th centuries. The main causes for the decline were loss of suitable spawning habitat and fragmentation of populations. Currently, three native and two reintroduced populations remain in Sweden. READ MORE

  4. 3. A population genomic approach to investigate potential island effects in the cryptic wood white butterfly (Leptidea juvernica) : Do island populations have lower genetic diversity and less efficient selection than mainland populations?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Xuejing Hu; [2022]
    Keywords : island effect;

    Abstract : Due to limited geographic ranges, island populations, in general, are expected to have smaller population sizes and a limited influx of migrants compared to populations inhabiting continental mainlands. Therefore, island populations are expected to be influenced by genetic drift and natural selection differently from mainland populations. READ MORE

  5. 4. Developing saddleback and emperor tamarin SNP set for in situ genotyping

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för ekologi och genetik; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Samantha López Clinton; [2022]
    Keywords : SNP genotyping; GT-Seq; conservation genomics; saddleback tamarin; emperor tamarin; Genotipado por SNPs; GT-seq; genómica para la conservación; pichico común; pichico emperador;

    Abstract : Many countries in the global south - which harbour the majority of the world’s biodiversity - face serious resource limitations and a lack of access to affordable sequencing services. Furthermore, biodiversity research and monitoring of non-model, threatened and/or cryptic species often relies on low-quality non-invasive genetic samples. READ MORE

  6. 5. Conservation Genomics of the Long-tailed Duck

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Brynhildur Magnúsdóttir; [2021]
    Keywords : Long-tailed duck; migration; conservation; population structure; genome;

    Abstract : With increasingly warming climate, many bird species have been forced to respond to environmental changes, and the long-tailed duck (Clangula hyemalis) is no exception. The populations of the long-tailed duck have been in decline the past few decades and the species is classified as globally vulnerable and near threatened in both Iceland and Sweden. READ MORE
