Accurate estimates of trait evolvabilities are central to predicting the short-term evolutionary potential of populations, and hence their ability to adapt to changing environments. We quantify and evaluate the evolvability of herkogamy, the spatial separation of male and female structures in flowers, a key floral trait associated with variation in mating systems. We compiled genetic-variance esti

Behavioural syndromes, that is correlated behaviours, may be a result from adaptive correlational selection, but in a new environmental setting, the trait correlation might act as an evolutionary constraint. However, knowledge about the quantitative genetic basis of behavioural syndromes, and the stability and evolvability of genetic correlations under different ecological conditions, is limited.

The vertebrate skull originates from two embryonic lineages, the mesoderm and the neural crest, offering a unique framework to study how developmental mechanisms connect phenotypic variation and evolutionary diversification. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, we analysed skull shape variation in lacertid lizards. Mesoderm- and neural crest-derived bones formed two distinct, conserved modules at bot

De mänskliga rättigheterna har blivit allt mer centrala i den internationella rätten. Skyldigheten att upprätthålla dessa rättigheter står ibland mot icke-interventionsprincipen och analysen försvåras av en oenhetlig definition av begreppet. Folkrättsjurister och statspraxis har avgränsat och definierat interventionen olika och denna studie analyserar för dessa. Den här studien fokuserar på folkrHuman rights have become more central to international law. The obligation to maintain these rights are sometimes against the principal of non-intervention. The analysis of the intervention is hampered by different definition of the term. Experts in public international law and state practice has delimited and defined the humanitarian intervention differently and this study analyses these differe

Previous studies distinguish between right hemisphere-dominant processing of prosodic/tonal information and left-hemispheric modulation of grammatical information as well as lexical tones. Swedish word accents offer a prime testing ground to better understand this division. Although similar to lexical tones, word accents are determined by words' morphosyntactic structure, which enables listeners t

During their studies each MA student will develop their work in close collaboration with one or more of the art institutions, societal stakeholders and artistic communities that Malmö Theatre Academy has established partnerships with. After a kickoff seminar with all the partners at the beginning of September, during the Autumn, the students visit the partners on site and become acquainted with th

The urinary bladder is responsible for storage and expulsion of urine. Proper urination depends on an ability of the bladder to adjust to increasing volume and to contract during micturition. A disturbance of bladder contractility may affect continence. In the present thesis I have used genetic, biochemical and physiological approaches to examine the role of caveolae and mircoRNAs in bladder funct

In the event of a community turnover, population decline, or complete disappearance of pollinators, animal-pollinated plants may respond by adapting to novel pollinators or by changing their mating system. The ability of populations to adapt is determined by their ability to respond to novel selection pressures, i.e. their evolvability. In the short term, evolvability is determined by standing gen

We investigated the relationship between mast seeding in beech Fagus sylvaticus and oak Quercus spp., and the occurrence of the rodent-dependent predators Tengmalm's Owl Aegolius funereus, Long-eared Owl Asio otus and Tawny Owl Strix alaco in south-eastern Sweden (Blekinge) 1992-2000. We also compared available data on seed production with data on winter flocks of Brambling Fringilla montifringill

Title: The social relation between student & teacher in individual music education. The aim of this study is to examine the relevance of the social relation between teacher and student in instrumental tuition in non-compulsory music education. The method I have used is qualitative interview inspired by phenomenology. I have made interviews with four persons who have experienced individual sing

This is a project about local small scale production, a story about how an artisan designer could take on the IKEAs of the world armed with modern day technology and some old fashioned hard work. This project is at its core a reflection about the future of design general and my role in particular. This contemplative journey does a few stops along the way to discuss the following sentence and wh

The treatment durations for hepatitis C are guided by the analysis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in blood at certain time points. This multicentre, randomized open label trial evaluated the utility and performance of individualized treatment durations guided by viral decline rates in 103 patients with HCV genotype 1 infection. Pegylated interferon 2a and ribavirin were given as standard of care (

Economically feasible bioethanol process from lignocellulose requires efficient fermentation by yeast of all sugars present in the hydrolysate. However, when exposed to lignocellulosic hydrolysate, Saccharomyces cerevisiae is challenged with a variety of inhibitors that reduce yeast viability, growth, and fermentation rate, and in addition damage cellular structures. In order to evaluate the capab
