Andris Richter: Social complexity in Resource Management

This research projects starts from the observation that in some instances, government intervention is effective in conserving renewable natural resources, such as fish stock, but not in others. We argue that government intervention does not take place in a vacuum, as sets of social norms may exi...

Hidalgo:Ecological and evolutionary dynamics of juvenescent marine populations: a comparative study of the European hake in the Atlantic....

Much evidence shows that fishing is driving evolutionary changes in the life traits of marine fish populations. Fishing does not only decrease the abundance of populations, but also changes the genetic composition of their individuals with negative impact s on the recovery capacity, and on the fu...

Molecular mechanisms of gene regulation in autosomal and X-linked genes by the Y chromosome in Drosophila.

In this project Drosophila genetics will be used to test the hypothesis that the Y chromosome effects on gene expression result from blocks of simple-sequence DNA in the Y chromosome that compete for DNA-binding proteins that affect gene expression. The aims and challenges of this work are: 1....

Speciation processes in fungi examined through experimental and empirical approaches

Although more than 100.000 fungal species exist, fungi are largely missing in the speciation debate. Speciation theory is based mainly on research on animals and plants and little is known whether fungi conform to general models of speciation. Four differ ent boreal/nemoral wood-decay species com...
