Understanding fitness effects of harvesting and protection of coastal marine resources

Selection imposed by intense harvesting of marine species may lead to evolutionary changes in life histories and behavioural traits on a contemporary time scale. However, our understanding of how harvesting may warp the selective landscape is still limite d, partly due to the difficulty of tracki...

Responding to Global Poverty: On what the affluent ought to do and what the poor are permitted to do

Two principles are commonly invoked in support of the view that we - the affluent in the developed world - have a responsibility to address global poverty. The first is based on the idea that because the poor are in severe need and we are in a position to alleviate such need at some cost, we hav...

The Function of Cyclin Dependent Kinases in the DNA Damage Response and Maintenance of Genome Stability

Project Summary Genome instability is one of the hallmarks of cancer. However, the mechanisms that protect the genome against spontaneous gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCRs) are not well understood. In recent years several pathways have been identifi ed that protect the genome against sponta...

Genetic dissection of the reproductive ground-plan hypothesis of social evolution

It is debated if social behavior is controlled at the molecular level by evolutionary novelties or by ancestral regulatory pathways. Our proposal aims to resolve this controversy by testing the reproductive ground-plan hypothesis of social evolution at th e genome level. This universal hypothesis...

Regulatory networks in plants: The role of dually targeted transcription factors for the development of cells and organisms

Transcription factors are responsible for the translation of the genetic information into proteins and are therefore key molecules in any cell. In plant cells the genetic information is divided into three sub-genomes (nuclear, plastid, mitochondrial) that are dependent on each other. The recent ...
