Lifestyle and environment affecting telomere dynamics in a long-distance migratory passerine
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-04-30)
Telomeres cap the true ends of linear chromosomes and thus have a key role maintaining genomic and cellular integrity. Telomeres shorten with each cell division which can be accentuated by intrinsic (e.g. metabolic activities) ...
On the parasitoid wasps of the African tropical forest – and how their species richness compares to Amazonia
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-02-27)
Our planet is inhabited by an astounding diversity of species, most of which have not yet been discovered. This species richness is at its highest in the tropics and particularly in tropical insects. The tropical Darwin ...
The impact of human relationships on semi-captive Asian elephant health and welfare
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-12-10)
There are billions of animals living in close proximity to humans around the world from pets and livestock to laboratory, draught and zoo animals. The interactions these animals have with humans in captivity influence their ...
Evolutionary genomics of adaptation in Atlantic salmon from northern Europe
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-01-21)
Insight into genomic mechanisms of phenotypic variation and adaptation is essential for understanding evolutionary and population dynamics in wild populations. Knowledge about whether it is the same genetic architecture ...
The phenotypic plasticity of thermal tolerance and its modulation in a complex environmental scenario
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-09-30)
It is well established that climate change constitutes a great challenge for wild animals, with increasing occurrence of heat waves also causing mortality events. However, in nature, environmental stressors are not occurring ...
Cavity-use and spatial ecology of the Eurasian pygmy owl in the managed boreal forests
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-05-13)
The loss and degradation of boreal old-growth forest is threatening biodiversity and a wide range of ecosystem services. Especially in Europe, the boreal forest has been subject to intensification of forestry practices, ...
Factors Affecting the Distribution of the Eurasian Beaver and the North American Beaver in Finland
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-09-03)
ABSTRACT
Understanding the factors affecting the distribution of species lies at the core of ecology and is becoming increasingly important in the field of applied ecology, such as conservation biology and wildlife ...
Causes and consequences of natural variation in maternal thyroid hormones in avian eggs
(2021-10-22)
Mothers have the ability to shape the development of their offspring via various non-genetic pathways. These non-genetic influences can be behavioural, social or physiological, and are referred to as maternal effects. ...
Apex avian species as sentinels for legacy and emerging contaminants in northern Baltic Sea coastal food webs
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-12-09)
Anthropogenic contamination is a wide-spread environmental problem. In addition to persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic legacy contaminants, emerging contaminants with unknown environmental behaviour are causing concern. ...
Environmental Variation, Niches of Indicator Species and Forest Structure in Amazonia
(Turun yliopisto, 2023-06-09)
Amazonia is the largest remaining tropical rainforest. As such, it is globally important both in terms of carbon and water cycles as well as biodiversity. As in most areas of the tropics, deforestation is also alarmingly ...
