Des de temps ancestrals la diversitat d’éssers vius del planeta ha fascinat i intrigat la humanitat. Com s’originen les espècies? Com han assolit la distribució geogràfica actual? En les darreres dècades, el gran avenç de ...
Rizzo, Valeria (Fecha de defensa: 2015-10-08)
The general aim of this dissertation is to investigate the evolution, the diversification and some ecological traits of the species of the strictly subterranean genus Troglocharinus Reitter, 1908. The genus Troglocharinus ...

The representation (or feature) learning has been an emerging concept in the last years, since it collects a set of techniques that are present in any theoretical or practical methodology referring to artificial intelligence. ...
Ibáñez Marcelo, Esther (Fecha de defensa: 2014-12-19)
In this thesis we develop a multi-scale model of the evolutionary dynamics of a population of cells, which accounts for the mapping between genotype and phenotype as determined by a model of the gene regulatory network. ...
Blevins, William Robert (Fecha de defensa: 2020-01-17)
All living organisms respond to environmental stimuli by modulating the activity of different genes. This response can occur across many locations throughout the cell such as at the level of transcription, translation, and ...
Pedro Rodríguez, Manuel de (Fecha de defensa: 2021-04-19)
L’interès per els processos eco-evolutius que determinen la capacitat d’expansió de la distribució de les espècies ha incrementat recentment com a conseqüència de l’increment de velocitat del canvi climàtic i global. Alguns ...
Gigli, Elena (Fecha de defensa: 2011-06-20)
The evolutionary history of H. neanderthalensis, interwoven with that of H. sapiens, has always fascinated the scientific world. Recent adavncess in paleogenetics shedds new light on the phylogenetic relationship between ...

Una de les forces selectives més fortes que han afectat a les poblacions humanes en la història més recent és el paràsit de la malària: Plasmodium falciparum, que és la causa de varis exemples d'adaptació induïda per ...
Escuer Pifarré, Paula (Fecha de defensa: 2022-12-21)
[eng] During the last decade, advances in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies have increased exponentially the generation of genomic data, especially of non-model species. In this thesis, we generated and used ...

Mygalomorphs is a cosmopolitan group that inhabits all the continents except Antarctica. The group and has been commonly described as ‘primitive’ because of the retention of plesiomorphic characters, such as the presence ...
Ferrer Obiol, Joan (Fecha de defensa: 2021-03-19)
How populations differentiate and become new species is a foundational question to the field of evolutionary biology and has important implications for the generation of both local and global patterns of species-level ...
Querejeta Coma, Marina (Fecha de defensa: 2017-07-21)
The study of intraspecific diversity is essential in ecology and evolution as they reveal fine-scale patterns and it is crucial in conservation planning. The main aim of this thesis is to study the evolutionary history of ...
Hernando Herráez, Irene (Fecha de defensa: 2015-07-24)
DNA methylation is a crucial epigenetic modification involved in numerous biological processes. However, despite its functional importance, the evolutionary history of this modification and the mechanisms diving such changes ...
Esteller Cucala, Paula (Fecha de defensa: 2023-04-18)
Changes in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression have important implications for evolution. However, the study of these changes (i) has not been consistently assessed across closely related species, (ii) oftentimes ...
García Pérez, Raquel (Fecha de defensa: 2019-01-29)
The evolution of the human phenotype involved gene regulatory innovations. Comparative functional epigenomic studies are a powerful tool with potential to shed light on many long-standing questions regarding human evolution. ...
