• Environmental and biological factors are joint drivers of mercury biomagnification in subarctic lake food webs along a climate and productivity gradient 

  Kozak, Natalia; Ahonen, Salla A.; Keva, Ossi; Østbye, Kjartan; Taipale, Sami J.; Hayden, Brian; Kahilainen, Kimmo K. (Elsevier, 2021)

  Subarctic lakes are getting warmer and more productive due to the joint effects of climate change and intensive land-use practices (e.g. forest clear-cutting and peatland ditching), processes that potentially increase ...

• UV-B Exposure Causes DNA Damage and Changes in Protein Expression in Northern Pike (Esox lucius) Posthatched Embryos 

  Vehniäinen, Eeva-Riikka; Vähäkangas, Kirsi; Oikari, Aimo (John Wiley & Sons, 2012)

  The ongoing anthropogenically caused ozone depletion and climate change has increased the amount of biologically harmful UV-B radiation, which is detrimental to fish in embryonal stages. The effects of UV-B radiation ...

• Fluence rate or cumulative dose? : Vulnerability of larval northern pike (Esox lucius) to ultraviolet radiation 

  Vehniäinen, Eeva-Riikka; Häkkinen, Jani; Oikari, Aimo (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc.; American Society for Photobiology, 2007)

  Newly hatched larvae of northern pike were exposed in the laboratory to four fluence rates of ultraviolet radiation (UVR; 290–400 nm) over three different time periods, resulting in total doses ranging from 3.0 ± 0.2 to ...

• Parasite transmission in aquatic ecosystems under temperature change : effects of host activity and elimination of parasite larvae by filter-feeders 

  Gopko, Misha; Mironova, Ekaterina; Pasternak, Anna; Mikheev, Victor; Taskinen, Jouni (Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)

  A moderate raise in temperature was suggested to enhance the impact of parasites on aquatic ecosystems. Under higher temperatures, poikilothermic animals (e.g. fish) increase their activity, which can result in a more ...

• The effect of temperature on cercariae production of two Rhipidocotyle trematodes parasitizing freshwater mussel, Anodonta anatina. 

  Alabi, Waidi (2013)

  Two bucephalid trematodes, Rhipidocotyle campanula and R. fennica are known to infect the duck mussel, Anodonta anatina. The infection will lead to decrease growth, reproduction and survival of A. anatina. Given the important ...
