My research questions are the following: How are the selected characters’ hybrid identities constructed? What role do different circumstances play in the formation of the characters’ identities? How do polyphony, mimicry and the carnivalesque affect their identities? Although the examined women are assumed to conform to similar gender norms, I argue that there is no common female role in Salt. READ MORE

5. The Basis of Reproductive Isolation Between Ecologically Divergent Host Plant Races
University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i biologiAbstract : Insects and their host plants constitute a considerable proportion of the diversity on earth, and host shifts hence provide excellent study systems to study the process that drive diversification. In this study, I address what the mechanism to achieve assortative mating is in two host races using different host plants to increase our understanding of how reproductive isolation can arise in the face of ecological specialization.
