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...

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...

Luis Cadahia Lorenzo: Timing of bird migration under climate change: phenotypic plasticity, microevolutionary response or both?

Climate is changing at a global scale, exposing organisms to novel environmental conditions and potentially having a profound impact on life-history traits of individuals, and, hence, on the ecology, distribution and persistence of species. Among the most apparent effects of climate change are a...

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....
