Genomics of Climatic Adaptation in Populus Trichocarapa
… of the genetic underpinnings of local adaptation is key to predicting the fate of tree populations in the future. In this thesis, we coupled sampling of range-wide natural accessions of P. trichocarpa with adaptive trait phenotyping and genome-wide genotyping to uncover relationships …

Signatures of natural selection and local adaptation in Populus trichocarpa and Populus deltoides along latitudinal clines
… selection on circadian clock-related genes in climatic adaptation, I took a candidate gene approach, selecting circadian clock genes, some of which had been functionally validated, and others hypothesized, to identify signatures of natural selection in Populus trichocarpa and P. deltoides. …

The Influence of Immigration Status on the General Health Outcomes of Adult BAME Migrants in East London
… are identified, especially regarding climate adaptation and cultural change. The qualitative, interpretivist technique is described in detail in Chapter 3. It includes rigorous ethical and reflexive research practices as well as in-depth semi-structured interviews with two purposefully chosen …

Measuring and Predicting Total Energy Expenditure Among Highly Active Humans in Natural Environments
… how energy is allocated under different climatic and activity level conditions. From this, it was found that in cold conditions, the heat produced from activity helps to mitigate potentially high costs of thermoregulation. I was also able to analyze the relationship between the surface …

THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE AND THE ENVIRONMENT ON HUMAN SKELETAL MORPHOLOGY DURING THE HOLOCENE IN NORTH CHINA A
… they were, to some extent, correlated with climatic and environmental factors. Body size and shape and body/limb proportions corresponded with variation in temperature. Additionally, stature, body mass and entheseal expression were correlated with socio-political and cultural development. …

Alaskan Eskimo and Polynesian Island Population Skeletal Anatomy: The "Pacific Paradox" Revisited Through Surface Area to Body Mass Comparisons
… various morphological measurements on two climatically different populations, Alaskan Eskimo and Pacific Island groups. The “Pacific Paradox” has been widely discussed, but research using direct comparisons between this Pacific population and cold climate groups has received little …

Towards the exploitation of the American hazelnut (Corylus americana)
… valuable source of EFB resistance and climatic adaptation. Interspecific hybrids (C. americana × C. avellana) have been explored for nearly a century as a means to combine EFB resistance with wider adaptability and larger nuts. While significant progress was made in the past, the …

GENOMIC TOOLS TO IMPROVE PEACH (P. PERSICA L. BATSCH) RESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHALLENGES
… spring phenological events are crucial in the climatic adaptation of fruit production. In the near future, agriculturists may encounter the need of changing the cultivars historically grown to maintain satisfactory production and new cultivars, more adapted to the mutated temperature asset, …
