  1. 1. Evolutionary conservation analysis of sequence variants underlying ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Leyi Su; [2023]
    Keywords : Ecological adaptation; Evolutionary conservation; Atlantic herring;

    Abstract : The Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) is a model organism for exploring the genetic basis of ecological adaptation on account of its large effective population size which greatly restrains the disturbance of genetic drift. In this project, I conducted an evolutionary conservation analysis of the Atlantic herring genome using conservation scores generated by phastCon, phyloP and GERP++ in order to study the sequence variants related to salinity or spawning-time adaptation in Atlantic herring.

  3. 2. SPECIES DELIMITATION IN GENIPA (RUBIACEAE) USING INTEGRATIVE TAXONOMY

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Rhonda Ridley; [2022-08-29]
    Keywords : Angiosperms 353; SEM; SECAPR; STACEY; Multi-species Coalescent; Maximum Likelihood; Bayesian inference;

    Abstract : The genus Genipa L. is a widespread, lowland, Neotropical lineage of trees in the coffeefamily, Rubiaceae. There is long-standing disagreement on the number of species thatshould be recognised in the genus. READ MORE

  4. 3. Black Hole Dynamics in Stellar Clusters

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Markus Strickert; [2022]
    Keywords : Black Holes; Globular Clusters; Dynamics; Intermediate-mass black holes; Simulations; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Star clusters can harbour many exotic objects, including black holes (BHs), X-ray binaries and blue straggler stars. In dense stellar environments like globular clusters (GCs), two-body relaxation drives their dynamical evolution, where gravitational interactions between stars strive to equalize their kinetic energy in the cluster.

  5. 4. Detecting Transiting Exoplanets in Crowded Fields

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Eddie Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Transit method; Globular cluster; crowded environments; exoplanets; transiting exoplanets; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The first planet orbiting a main-sequence star was discovered in 1995. Since then more than 4000 additional exoplanets have been discovered. This is a rapidly evolving field in astrophysics. One of the most common ways to detect an exoplanet is through transit, as the brightness of the host star decreases. READ MORE

  6. 5. Phylogenomics of Ascetosporea

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Systematisk biologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Harshal Kunal Bhawe; [2022]
    Keywords : phylogenetics; ascetosporea; bioinformatics; mussel;

    Abstract : Ascetosporea is a class of poorly studied unicellular eukaryotes that function as parasites of marine invertebrates. These parasites cause mass mortality events in aquaculture species such as oysters and mussels. READ MORE
