Characterization of a Novel Human Methyltransferase

This Friday, February 24th, we're discussing a paper by Rabosky and Goldberg (2015): "Model Inadequacy and Mistaken Inferences of Trait-Dependent Speciation."

Hope to see you there!

The demographic buffering hypothesis states that the temporal variation in vital rates is smaller the more these vital rates contribute to fitness. The pattern is appears well supported, but recent evidence indicates that life histories may be buffered or labile, and that there is a phylogenetic signal in this.

– Program 17th February 2017

For researchers at UiO and the surroundings that will be impacted by the planned life science building at UiO.

This thursday, at the Speciation Journal Club, we will discuss a paper on reproductive isolation and speciation rate variation in nature, by Rabosky 2016 (BJLS)

– Program 16th February 2017

This is the main conference day with perspectives from academia, businesses and politics. There is a reception in the Oslo City Hall in the evening.

–  Program 15th February 2017 – Partnership4Life

This day is meant for businesses that want to partner up with academia and vice versa.

Liz Sockett, Professor of Bacterial Genetics, School of Life Sciences, University of Nottingham, UK

Welcome to the annual Darwin Day celebration at the university of Oslo! This open event is for everybody interested in science and history. All are welcome! Speakers: Douglas J. Futuyma, Emma Goldberg, Andrew Hendry, and Yngvild Vindenes.

Hippocampal ROS and mitochondria in exercise: an electron microscopy analysis in a rat model of aerobic fitness

Perineuronal nets in the entorhinal cortex and their role for the hippocampal place code

There is increasing support for body size as an important factor determining population dynamics in both animal and plant species. Integral Projection Models (IPMs) make it possible to assess the interplay of body size and population dynamics, but does body size always matter?

This thursday, at the Speciation Journal Club, we will discuss a paper on Mega-evolutionary dynamics of the adaptive  radiation of birds, by Cooney et al. 2017 (Nature)

This Friday, the 3rd of February, we will discuss a paper by Davis et al. from 2016 titled "Herbivory promotes dental disparification and macroevolutionary dynamics in grunters (Teleostei: Terapontidae), a freshwater adaptive radiation".

Hope to see you there!

This thursday, at the Speciation Journal Club, we will discuss a paper entitled "Multispecies coalescent delimits structure, not species" by Sukumaran and Knowles from PNAS (2017)

Ramiro Logares and Anders Krabberød, EVOGENE

This Friday, the 27th of January, we will discuss a paper by Haber and Dworkin from 2017 called "Disintegrating the fly: A mutational perspective on phenotypic integration and covariation"

Hope to see you there!

Molecular studies on selected colicin types (Expression, purification and characterization of colicin U)

This thursday, at the Speciation Journal Club, we will discuss a paper entitled "Shedding Light on the Grey Zone of Speciation along a Continuum of Genomic Divergence" by Roux et al. in PLoS Biology (2016)
