Abstract:

In cases of forensic dental identification, a key factor in the comparison of the dental status of deceased persons with antemortem dental records is the matching of dental restorations in individual teeth. Many studies have been performed showing the prevalence of dental interventions. This has mostly been performed by counting the numbers of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) in each mouth without detailed data collection on a per-tooth basis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the research question: to what extent would data on the distribution and prevalence of rest

Abstract:

Aim Research has shown that Latent Class Growth Modelling (LCGM) techniques can be applied to discover heterogeneous trajectories of autistic traits (ATs) within diagnosed samples. However, no studies have yet applied LCGM to general population participants. This study aimed to use LCGM to examine latent trajectories of ATs in a large, general population cohort. Methods Growth Mixture Modelling (GMM) was applied to Social and Communication Difficulties Checklist (Skuse et al, 2005) scores at ages 7, 10, 13 and 16.

The ageing process in humans is affected by lifestyle and by our genetics, the mechanisms of which we understand to varying degrees.

I use a SNP shown to associate with nicotine dependence in a Mendelian Randomization meta-analysis to explore the causality of the association of smoking with ageing, demonstrating how genetic information can be used to impro

Abstract:

The 'C4 rice project' aims to introduce the C4 photosynthetic mechanism into C3 rice plant in order to boost biomass and grain yield to cope with the predicted food demand and adverse environmental conditions in the future. As a first step, identification of rice mutants with novel photosynthetic traits conferring increased photosynthetic capacities is an utmost requirement in order to improve biomass production. One approach is to screen large numbers of rice mutants to achieve this goal. This would confirm whether the rice genome possesses the required 'plasticity' to introduce C4-like trait

This thesis focuses on the relationship between autism spectrum condition (ASC) and homelessness. Part 1 is a systematic review of whether and how ASC overlaps with the personality disorders (PDs) schizoid PD and schizotypal PD. There was little evidence for the nature of the overlap between schizoid PD and ASC, but some studies did suggest that having ASC may be a risk factor for the development of this PD. There was more evidence for the relationship between schizotypal PD and ASC, with studies showing that overlap was minimal, although differentiating the conditions could be challenging. Th

Abstract:

Local adaptation to climate in temperate forest trees involves the integration of multiple physiological, morphological, and phenological traits. Latitudinal clines for the relevant component traits are frequently observed for species that have a north-south distribution, but these relationships do not account for climatic variation within a given latitudinal band, which may be reflected in adaptive traits. We used black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) as a model to characterize the interplay between geography, climate, and adaptation to abiotic factors. Twelve traits (height, diameter, volum

Epidemiological studies on malocclusion have been primarily concerned with its aetiology and distribution.

Examining early expressions of psychopathy may help clinicians better understand how psychopathy manifests and develops, and perhaps identify the developmental period when the traits

Abstract:

Plant-herbivore interactions are among the most common of ecological interactions. It is therefore not surprising that plants have evolved multiple mechanisms to defend themselves, using both constitutive chemical and physical barriers and by induced responses which are only expressed after herbivory has occurred. Herbivores, on the other hand, respond to these plant defenses by evolving counter-adaptations which makes defenses less effective or even useless. Adaptation can occur at different geographical scales, with varying coevolutionary interactions across a spatially heterogenous landscap

Abstract:

Detecting animals during wildlife surveys underpins the validity of outcomes for pest control, conservation and research. Most surveys rely on animals deciding to engage with a device, hoping the reward outweighs any perceived danger. Animal personality, however, can shape risk-reward decisions by individuals, potentially driving heterogeneity in detection probability and undermining sampling reliability. In this thesis, I investigated personality as a mechanistic driver of detection bias and examined interactions between personality and the risk-reward properties of different survey methods.

By definition, parasites are expected to have fitness consequences for their hosts by reducing survival and fecundity. If such events are density dependent they may play a regulatory role in their host's dynamics. However, there are few studies in the wild that provide empirical evidence to support these suppositions. To understand the impact of parasites it is necessary to explore the interactions between parasite and host and the mechanisms that regulate nematode populations. The aims of this work are to: 1) identify the species specific patterns of infection; 2) investigate the interactions

Abstract:

A central theme in ecology and evolution is to understand whether and how species respond to environmental changes. The amount of studies focusing on how species might cope with climate change has been steeply growing, given the importance of the actual climate change. At present, it is widely accepted that changes in mean environmental conditions can affect individual performance, life history strategies and population dynamics. While most climate change scenarios forecast a change in average climatic conditions, they as well predict a decrease in environmental predictability. However, eviden

Abstract:

Population divergence shaped by natural selection is central to evolutionary ecology research and has been in focus since Darwin formulated “The origin of species”. Still, the process of adaptive divergence among sympatric populations is poorly understood. In this thesis I studied patterns of adaptive divergence among subpopulations of pike (Esox lucius) that are sympatric in the Baltic Sea but become short-term allopatric during spawning and initial juvenile growth in freshwater streams. I also examined causes and consequences of phenotypic variation among individuals within subpopulations to

Abstract:

L'évolution adaptative contribue probablement à l'adaptation des populations à des changements environnementaux rapides, l'observation empirique de nombreux cas d'évolution rapide dans les populations naturelles suivant de forts changements environnementaux abondant en ce sens. Dans cette thèse, je me suis concentrée sur l'estimation du potentiel évolutif d'une population naturelle de hêtre commun (Fagus sylvatica), une espèce à long cycle de vie, subissant des stress hydriques chroniques. Je considère ici une définition du potentiel évolutif dans le sens strict de la capacité d'une population

Abstract:

L'élucidation des liens réciproques unissant le génotype et le phénotype constitue un objectif central de la biologie moderne. De nombreux aspects de l'évolution à l'échelle moléculaire sont ainsi connus pour répondre aux caractéristiques démographiques ou d'histoire de vie des espèces. En particulier, la théorie quasi-neutre postule que les petites populations accumulent davantage de substitutions faiblement délétères dans leur génome, en raison d'une dérive génétique accrue. La composition en bases, à travers le mécanisme de la conversion génique biaisée, s'est également révélée obéir à l'in

Abstract:

Multiparental cross designs for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in crops are efficient alternatives to conventional biparental experimental populations because they exploit a broader genetic basis and higher mapping resolution. We describe the development and deployment of a multiparental recombinant inbred line (RIL) population in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) obtained by crossing four elite cultivars characterized by different traits of agronomic value. A linkage map spanning 2,663 cM and including 7,594 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was produced by genotyping 338 RILs wi
