Impact of mating systems on patterns of sequence polymorphism in flowering plants [PDF]
, 2006 A fundamental challenge in population genetics and molecular evolution is to understand the forces shaping the patterns of genetic diversity within and among species.

The Weight of Genetic Drift: A Pedigree-Based Evaluation of the Breton Horse Population in Brazil
Veterinary Medicine InternationalThe genetic diversity of Breton horses in Brazil is a critical concern, mainly due to the small population size and low number of births per year. Given that the inbreeding was overlooked by breeders for multiple generations, we estimated the genetic ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1805-1829, August 2026.ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Inbreeding and inbreeding depression in water voles (Arvicola amphibious) in Northern Norway [PDF]
, 2020 Å forstå hvordan små og isolerte populasjoner kan bli påvirket av innavl er svært viktig innen bevaringsbiologi. Innavl kan ha alvorlige konsekvenser for fitness, både på individ- og populasjonsnivå, og kan øke sjansen for utryddelse av små og isolerte ...

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives The grandmother hypothesis proposes that ancestral women ceased reproduction midlife to instead provision their grandchildren. An alternative “two‐sex” account proposes that the high energetic burden of caring for slow‐developing offspring was met with biparental investment.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Urbanisation and urban heat frequently co‐occur, and climate change is expected to amplify these effects, yet their consequences for population dynamics and life‐history traits remain unclear. Using the common woodlouse Armadillidium vulgare, a widespread decomposer and urban indicator species, we combined fine‐scale field surveys with ...

Plasticity in immune responses in a model insect [PDF]
, 2011 PhDIn order to understand how the environment, parental environment and inbreeding influence immune function and life history traits, I carried out a series of experiments using the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella, as a model organism.
