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 ...
Movement and habitat selection of the Eurasian red squirrel
(Turun yliopisto, 2019-10-05)
Movement ability and habitat selection of individuals are highly significant in determining the size of a population and impact the range and survival of the entire species. Thus, the conservation and management of animal ...
Geoenergy and sustainable development : perspectives on environmental challenges and governance of geoenergy installations
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-02-05)
Ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are an established energy technology, and as such a noteworthy alternative to increase the share of renewable energy in the consumption. At present there are approximately 130 000 geoenergy ...
Causes and consequences of variation in blue tit nest construction
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-05-08)
Species across taxa and the vast majority of birds build nests for reproduction. The bird nest functions as a receptacle for the eggs and young and as such determines successful reproduction. Through nest construction birds ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Using remote sensing to map tree species distributions and floristic patterns of trees in Peruvian Amazonia at different extents
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-12-18)
Amazonia, the largest and most diverse tropical forest in the world, continues facing pressures and losing forest cover while vast areas remain biologically poorly known. Knowing where a species occurs, and the distribution ...
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 ...
