  1. 1. Genetic consequences of translocations in the Doñana population of the endangered Iberian lynx

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Gaia Mora; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Conservation Genetics; Iberian lynx conservation; endangered species; species conservation;

    Sammanfattning : Conservation genetics for endangered species is crucial in long-term conservation actions.Inbreeding depression and genetic diversity are main genetic parameters with relevance toconservation. The Iberian lynx was by 2002 the most endangered felid in the world. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Analysis of relatedness and genetic diversity in Swedish sheep breeds using medium density (50K) SNP data

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Författare :Krishani Devika Wijesinghe Sinhalage; [2023]
    Nyckelord :sheep; genetic diversity; population structure; inbreeding; runs of homozygosity; coat colour; MC1R;

    Sammanfattning : The local Swedish sheep breeds belong to a group of sheep breeds known as North European short-tailed sheep breeds. Evaluation of genetic diversity, relatedness, and population structure of local breeds offers crucial metrics to prevent inbreeding depression, genetic erosion, and crossbreeding between locally adapted and exotic sheep breeds since these occurrences can have detrimental effects and ultimately lead to extinction.

  4. 3. Detecting structural variants in the DNA of the inbred Scandinavian wolf

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Författare :Lars Huson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :animal; animal population; bioinformatics; biological sciences; biology; Canis lupus; CNV; conservation genetics; conservation genomics; copy-number variation; DNA; endangered population; endangered species; evolution; evolutionary biology; extinction; genetic diversity; genetics; genetic variation; genomes; genomics; grey wolf; inbreeding; inbreeding depression; indel; mutation; pedigree; population genetics; population genomics; Scandinavia; smoove; snakemake; structural variant; SV; wolf; wolves;

    Sammanfattning : Only 40 years ago, just three individuals made the journey from Finland/Russia to found the current wolf population in the southwest of Sweden. This population, that to this date descends from less than 10 founders, has a substantial increased extinction risk due to inbreeding. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Who calls the African Wild Dog? : de novo SNP discovery and genotyping in the Lycaon pictus

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Mathilda Bertills; [2021]
    Nyckelord :snp; single nucleotide polymorphism; african wild dog; lycaon pictus; conservation;

    Sammanfattning : Large carnivores, especially the African wild dog, Lycaon pictus, are vulnerable to human-mediated changes and climate effects. As they are apex predators, they also affect lower trophic levels. Due to anthropogenic land-use changes affecting habitat, prey, and population densities, large carnivore populations are declining.

  7. 5. Inavelsdepression hos häst

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Författare :Ida Sofia Klemets; [2019]
    Nyckelord :inavel; inavelsdepression; häst; prestationsförmåga; spermakvalitet; kvarbliven efterbörd; fertilitet; exteriör;

    Sammanfattning : Att inavel kan ha en negativ inverkan på ett flertal egenskaper, däribland prestation och reproduktion, hos flera djurslag är välkänt. I vissa hästraser har inavelsdepression kunnat påvisas, men både inavelsgrad och påverkad egenskap har skiljt sig åt raserna emellan. LÄS MER
