Host-parasite genomics and ecology: linking genes and transcriptomes to disease and contemporary selection
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-05-05)
Infectious diseases in natural populations are important areas of research in ecology and evolution as they describe how parasites influence the host fitness. A host may undergo adaptive evolution against the parasite by ...
The return of the white-tailed eagle: Ecology of predator-prey relationships in the Baltic Sea and Arctic inland
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-12-02)
Apex predators regulate ecosystems through top-down processes. In the last century many predator populations crashed due to anthropogenic impacts, but recently some have recovered and are re-colonizing old areas, as well ...
Genomic editing to elucidate the effects of PIM kinases on cancer cell signalling
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-03-31)
In humans, there are three PIM family genes, the two first of which were originally identified from mice as proviral integration sites for Moloney leukemia virus. They encode serine/threonine kinases that are aberrantly ...

(Turun yliopisto, 2023-09-08)
Anthropogenic climate change is increasing the magnitude and frequency of marine heatwaves, challenging the physiological limits of ectothermic animals, such as fish, and negatively affecting human activities that depend ...
Biodiversity conservation and compensations for nature and people: from current challenges to future tools
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-11-03)
ABSTRACT
World is facing an environmental crisis as biodiversity continues to decrease and ecosystems degrade at an alarming rate mainly because of global land use changes. Urgent actions are needed to prevent further ...
How can cellular-level energy production explain how wild birds cope with environmental stress?
(Turun yliopisto, 2024-06-14)
All animals rely on energy in order to grow, reproduce and thrive. The conversion of nutrients into energy happens in mitochondria, which are crucial components of the cells. The efficiency with which mitochondria produce ...
