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 ...
Postprandial lipid metabolism resulting from heated beef, homogenized and heat treated milk and interesterified palm oil
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-12-05)
Today, although our food is more processed than ever the effects of food processing on dietary lipids and their absorption and postprandial metabolism are not fully understood. The lipid composition of food impacts ...
Lepidopteran forest defoliators in a changing climate : performance in different life-history stages, and range expansion
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-09-28)
Although there are few confirmed records of rising temperatures contributing to range expansions and range shifts of harmful insects so far, the link between climate and insect distribution range is plausible. Temperature ...
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. ...
Interplay between adenosine receptors and adenosine deaminases
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-05-25)
Adenosine deaminases (ADAs) are key enzymes involved in purine metabolism and immune system. Human have two distinct adenosine deaminase isoforms, ADA1 and ADA2. ADA1 deficiency was reported as the first discovered molecular ...
Insights from unseen individuals – using non-invasive approaches to study population biology of white-tailed deer in Finland
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-04-24)
Density, adult sex ratio and fecundity are biologically important population parameters, whose estimation is also essential for wildlife management and conservation. These parameters describe population viability and predict ...
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 ...
Recognition of double-helical DNA and RNA by modified triplex-forming oligonucleotides and peptide nucleic acids
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-10-11)
Triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) have received considerable interest because of their ability to recognize double-helical DNA and RNA sequenceselectively. Sequence-selective binding to double-helical DNA would enable ...
Quantum complex networks
(Turun yliopisto, 2018-12-01)
This Thesis focuses on networks of interacting quantum harmonic oscillators and in particular, on them as environments for an open quantum system, their probing via the open system, their transport properties, and their ...
Molecular approaches for mycotoxin risk reduction
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-06-10)
Mycotoxin contamination in food is a serious concern for human and animal health. Today, we do not know how to detoxify food materials that are contaminated with mycotoxins in ways that retain their edibility. Therefore, ...
