• Direct and correlated responses to bi-directional selection on pre-adult development time in Drosophila montana 

  Kauranen, Hannele; Kinnunen, Johanna; Hopkins, David; Hoikkala, Anneli (Elsevier Ltd., 2019)

  Selection experiments offer an efficient way to study the evolvability of traits that play an important role in insects’ reproduction and/or survival and to trace correlations and trade-offs between them. We have exercised ...

• Selection for reproduction under short photoperiods changes diapause-associated traits and induces widespread genomic divergence 

  Kauranen, Hannele; Kinnunen, Johanna; Hiillos, Anna-Lotta; Lankinen, Pekka; Hopkins, David; Wiberg, R. Axel W; Ritchie, Michael G.; Hoikkala, Anneli (Company of Biologists, 2019)

  The incidence of reproductive diapause is a critical aspect of life history in overwintering insects from temperate regions. Much has been learned about the timing, physiology and genetics of diapause in a range of insects, ...

• Patterns of thermal tolerance in Drosophila montana and D. flavomontana 

  Blomster, Anna (2017)

  Ympäristön lämpötila vaikuttaa suuresti eliöiden selviytymiseen, kasvuun ja lisääntymiseen. Hyönteiset voivat olla herkkiä ilmastossa tapahtuville muutoksille, koska niiden toimintakyky riippuu paljon ympäristön lämpötilasta. ...

• Nanda-Hamner Curves Show Huge Latitudinal Variation but No Circadian Components in Drosophila Montana Photoperiodism 

  Lankinen, Pekka, Kastally, Chedly, Hoikkala, Anneli (SAGE Publications, 2021)

  Insect species with a wide distribution offer a great opportunity to trace latitudinal variation in the photoperiodic regulation of traits important in reproduction and stress tolerances. We measured this variation in the ...

• Photosensitive Alternative Splicing of the Circadian Clock Gene timeless Is Population Specific in a Cold-Adapted Fly, Drosophila montana 

  Tapanainen, Riikka; Parker, Darren; Kankare, Maaria (Genetics Society of America, 2018)

  To function properly, organisms must adjust their physiology, behavior and metabolism in response to a suite of varying environmental conditions. One of the central regulators of these changes is organisms’ internal circadian ...
