• A comprehensive mitogenome phylogeny of the avian tribe Arini (Arinae: Psittacidae) with emphasis in Pyrrhura species 

      Morin Lagos, Jaime Gerardo (Master thesis, 2021)
      The tribe Arini is the most diverse group of Neotropical parrots, and it includes approximately 158 species distributed in at least 32 genera. These parrots have been largely affected by habitat loss, fragmentation, and ...
    • DNA Metabarcoding Diet Analysis of Water Vole (Arvicola amphibius) in Northern Norway 

      Østby, Nina (Master thesis, 2019)
      Studier og kunnskap om hvilke faktorer som påvirker populasjonsdynamikk er svært viktig i økologi. Det gir viktig informasjon som er nyttig for blant annet bevaring av biodiversitet i en tid der den trues av globale ...
    • Genome-culture coevolution drives rapid divergence in the killer whale 

      Foote, Andy; Vijay, Nagarjun; Avila-Arcos, Maria; Baird, Robin; Durban, John; Morin, Phillip; Fumagalli, Matteo; Gibbs, Richard; Hanson, Bradley; Korneliussen, Thorfinn; Martin, Michael D.; Robertson, Kelly; Sousa, Vitor; Vieira, Filipe G.; Vinar, Tomas; Wade, Paul; Worley, Kim; Excoffier, Laurent; Gilbert, M Thomas P; Wolf, Jochen B W (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Analysing population genomic data from killer whale ecotypes, which we estimate have globally radiated within less than 250,000 years, we show that genetic structuring including the segregation of potentially functional ...
    • Genomic consequences of anthropogenic reintroduction in high-arctic Svalbard reindeer 

      Burnett, Hamish (Master thesis, 2020)
      Anthropogenic reintroductions are a commonly used conservation strategy following local extirpations. However, establishing new populations with a small number of founders can result in population bottlenecks causing reduced ...
    • Patterns and relationships of the distribution of arctic and boreal forest herbivores: A three-dimensional approach. 

      Chimal Ballesteros, Jesus Adrian (Master thesis, 2019)
      Biodiversity is a complex concept that presents three primary facets: genetic, species and ecological diversity. However, biodiversity is usually viewed and valued in terms of the number of discrete species present. This ...
    • The population genomic legacy of the second plague pandemic 

      Gopalakrishnan, Shyam; Ebenesersdottir, S.Sunna; Lundstrøm, Inge K.C.; Turner-Walker, Gordon; Moore, Kristjan H.S.; Luisi, Pierre; Magaryan, Ashot; Martin, Michael D.; Ellegaard, Martin Rene; Magnusson, Olafur T.; Sigurdsson, Asgeir; Snorradóttir, Steinunn; Magnúsdóttir, Droplaug N.; Laffoon, Jason E.; van Dorp, Lucy; Liu, Xiaodong; Moltke, Ida; Avila-Arcos, María C.; Schraiber, Joshua G.; Rasmussen, Simon; Juan, David; Galabert, Pere; De-Dios, Toni; Fotakis, Anna K.; Iraeta-Orbegozo, Miren; Vågene, Åshild J.; Denham, Sean Dexter; Christophersen, Axel; Stenøien, Hans K.; Vieira, Filipe G.; Liu, Shanlin; Günther, Torsten; Kivisild, Toomas; Moseng, Ole Georg; Skar, Birgitte; Cheung, Christina; Sandoval-Velasco, Marcela; Wales, Nathan; Schroeder, Hannes; Campos, Paula F.; Gudmundsdottir, Valdis B; Sicheritz - Ponten, Thomas; Petersen, Bent; Halgunset, Jostein; Gilbert, Edmund; Cavalleri, Gianpiero L.; Hovig, Eivind; Kockum, Ingrid; Olsson, Tomas; Alfredsson, Lars; Hansen, Thomas F.; Werge, Thomas; Willerslev, Eske; Balloux, Francois; Marquès-Bonet, Tomás; Lalueza-Fox, Carles; Nielsen, Rasmus; Stefánsson, Kári; Helgason, Agnar; Gilbert, Thomas P. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Human populations have been shaped by catastrophes that may have left long-lasting signatures in their genomes. One notable example is the second plague pandemic that entered Europe in ca. 1,347 CE and repeatedly returned ...
    • Spatial patterns of phylogenetic diversity of Mexican mammals for biodiversity conservation 

      Aguilar Tomasini, María Alejandra (Master thesis, 2020)
      Phylogenetic diversity (PD) is a biodiversity measurement that describes the total amount of evolutionary history contained by the taxonomic units in a particular region. PD has proven to be an important metric for determining ...
    • The next generation fungal diversity researcher 

      Grube, Martin; Gaya, Ester; Kauserud, Håvard; Smith, Adrian M.; Avery, Simon V.; Fernstad, Sara F.; Muggia, Lucia; Martin, Michael D.; Eivindsen, Tove; Kõljalg, Urmas; Bendiksby, Mika (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Fungi are more important to our lives than is assumed by the general public. They can comprise both devastating pathogens and plant-associated mutualists in nature, and several species have also become important workhorses ...
    • Will borealization of Arctic tundra herbivore communities be driven by climate warming or vegetation change? 

      Speed, James David Mervyn; Chimal-Ballesteros, J. Adrian; Martin, Michael D.; Barrio, Isabel C.; Vuorinen, Katariina Elsa Maria; Soininen, Eeva M (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Poleward shifts in species distributions are expected and frequently observed with a warming climate. In Arctic ecosystems, the strong warming trends are associated with increasing greenness and shrubification. Vertebrate ...
