Spatial behaviour, habitat use and breeding performance of a long-lived raptor in the context of wind energy
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-03-16)
Natural ecosystems and associated biota suffer from a wide range of human activities, including habitat destruction, land-use changes and climate warming. Easily subject to disturbance and often requiring large hunting ...
A comparative study of parasitism in insects : why some Odonata species have parasites and others do not?
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-08-31)
Parasites are one of the most diverse groups of animals, capable of infecting virtually all other organisms on the planet. They are a strong evolutionary force, influencing genetic diversity and thereby affecting individuals, ...
Large-scale population dynamics of the Eurasian red squirrel
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-09-28)
The size of an animal population is determined by the birth rate, mortality, and movement of individuals between populations. These demographic parameters, in turn, are affected by internal and external factors. Internal ...
Isolated in the last refugium : the identity, ecology and conservation of the northernmost occurrence of the hermit beetle
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-05-19)
The hermit beetle (Osmoderma eremita sensu lato) is a flagship species for invertebrate conservation in Europe. Protecting this species will also aid in the preservation of other saproxylic communities on veteran trees. ...
Tolerance of baltic sea rocky littoral communities to climate change
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-06-01)
Climate change is challenging marine ecosystems worldwide, severely straining
the tolerance of marine species and likely leading to distributional shifts. In the
brackish-water Baltic Sea, there is a strong salinity ...
Hidden diversity of moss mites (Acari: Oribatida) unveiled with ecological and genetic approach
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-02-09)
Moss mites (Acari: Oribatida) are microscopic (0.1–1 mm) soil-dwelling arachnids that function as soil decomposers. The oribatids are among the most numerous soil animals with abundances reaching up to 200,000 specimens ...
Stress induced alterations in redox status and telomere length as a potential mechanism of biological ageing
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-09-07)
Biological ageing, i.e. the loss of physiological functioning leading to increased frailty and mortality risk with advancing age, is influenced both by genotype and environmental factors as well as their interactions. The ...
Questing ticks, hidden causes : tracking changes in Ixodes ricinus populations and associated pathogens in southwestern Finland
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-12-05)
Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) and tick-borne diseases, especially Lyme borreliosis caused by Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. spirochetes and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) caused by the TBE-virus (TBEV), are a growing problem in northern ...
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 ...
Sociological and ecological impacts of introduced deer populations
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-03-10)
Human-deer interactions form an integral segment of the complex social, ecological and economic network that is important to keep in balance. As observed elsewhere, deer introductions can lead to conflict among stakeholders. ...
