Plant remains in archaeology : a multidisciplinary approach to cultivation,consumption, trade and migration of economic plants in Southern Finland AD 1000−1900
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-03-16)
Plant remains are derived from archaeological contexts and therefore they provide an interesting source material for investigating the role of economic plants and environments in the past. Plant remains can reflect past ...
Food hoarding of an avian predator under food limitation and climate change
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-10-23)
Hoarding behaviour (storing food for later use) has evolved to reduce the risk of starvation when resources are scarce. In this thesis, I studied the food-hoarding behaviour of Eurasian pygmy owls (Glaucidium passerinum) ...
Population dynamics and evolutionary genetics of life history variation in Atlantic salmon
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-06-01)
Knowledge about variation in abundance and life-history traits is necessary to manage exploited populations. Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, has high cultural, ecological and economic importance, supporting subsistence, ...
The Intra- and trans-generational effects of larval nutritional conditions on life-history traits of the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-02-29)
Phenotypic plasticity allows the same genotype to produce distinctly different morphological, physiological or behavioural characteristics depending on the environmental conditions the individual, and even its parents or ...
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 ...
Context-dependence of grandmother effects & selection on post-reproductive life
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-09-21)
In cooperatively breeding species, the amount of help provided and the outcomes of that help can vary greatly under different contexts, such as helper age, sex of the offspring, or age of the offspring. Contextual variation ...
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 ...
Mesenchymal stromal cells and circulating angiogenic cells in vascularization
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-10-14)
Vascularization is essential for tissue healing and reduced ability to regrow blood vessels can contribute, for example, to impaired wound healing and bone formation after injury. Generation of functional blood vessels is ...
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 ...
