Migratory birds use daylength, or photoperiod, to align their migration schedules to the annual cycle, and global climate change is shifting temperature gradients towards …
The tawny owl (Swedish: kattuggla; Strix aluco) is one of our most common top predators occurring in a range of landscapes including urban, agricultural …
Increasing evidence suggests that the community of microbes located within the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates, known as the “gut microbiome”, is a crucial determinant …
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), one of the most common forms of dementia, constitutes a high social and economic burden expected to increase in the upcoming …
It is well-established that innate immunity plays a significant role in responding to and influencing the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (Heneka et al., …
In cellular environment protein abundance and half-life are determined by ubiquitin-proteasomal system. Ubiquitin ligases recognize a highly specific peptide motif (degron) and transfer polyubiquitin …
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted sex differences during infection, with increased hospitalizations and deaths in SARS-CoV-2-infected men as compared to women. This observation is …
Modern genomics methods produce vast amounts of genetic data, but we have limited ability to interpret the effects of sequence variation on gene expression, …
Terrestrial isopods are important detritivores, contributing to essential ecosystem services by breaking down plant material and recycling nutrients. Due to their ancestry (they are …
While recent research has improved treatment of primary tumours, few discoveries have specifically benefited patients with metastatic disease such as brain metastases. The microenvironment …
Are you interested in doing your Master’s project in pollination ecology, climate change, and computer vision? Join exciting research and friendly team as part …
The project aims to investigate the transcriptional differences between intestinal organoids cultured under normoxic (21% O2) and hypoxic (1-5% O2) conditions, with a particular …
The underlying causes of the global decline of wild bees is important to understand because bees are essential for pollination of both crops and …
The conventional wisdom linking high genetic diversity with population viability is increasingly scrutinized, as empirical evidence shows that some species can persist despite low …
The study of deleterious variation, or genetic load, in natural populations has become increasingly important in conservation genomics, particularly with the advent of novel …
In population genetics, making an accurate calling and phasing of genetic variants is crucial, but it is often a non-trivial challenge, especially for non-model …
The magnificent antlers of the deer family Cervidae represent one of the classic examples of evolution of an exaggerated character through sexual selection. Empirical …
Insects are the most species-rich group of organisms on Earth. It has long been suggested that evolution of the wing played a crucial role …
Multiple species of fungi coexist in soil. They constantly engage in warfare for food sources and territory, and have developed different strategies to survive …
