• Camouflage accuracy in Sahara-Sahel desert rodents 

  Nokelainen, Ossi; Brito, José Carlos; Scott-Samuel, Nicholas E.; Valkonen, Janne; Boratyński, Zbyszek (Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)

  1. Camouflage helps animals to hide from predators and is therefore key to survival. Although widespread convergence of animal phenotypes to their natural environment is well established, there is a lack of knowledge about ...

• Camouflage in arid environments : the case of Sahara-Sahel desert rodents 

  Nokelainen, Ossi; Sreelatha, Lekshmi B.; Brito, José Carlos; Campos, João C.; Scott-Samuel, Nicholas E.; Valkonen, Janne K.; Boratyński, Zbyszek (Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, 2020)

  Deserts and semi-deserts, such as the Sahara-Sahel region in North Africa, are exposed environments with restricted vegetation coverage. Due to limited physical surface structures, these open areas provide a promising ...

• Repeated evolution of camouflage in speciose desert rodents 

  Boratynski, Zbyszek; Brito, José C.; Campos, João C.; Cunha, José L.; Granjon, Laurent; Mappes, Tapio; Ndiaye, Arame; Rzebik-Kowalska, Barbara; Serén, Nina (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)

  There are two main factors explaining variation among species and the evolution of characters along phylogeny: adaptive change, including phenotypic and genetic responses to selective pressures, and phylogenetic inertia, ...

• Supplementary material for article "Exposure to environmental radionuclides is associated with altered metabolic and immunity pathways in a wild rodent". 

  Kivisaari, Kati; Watts, Phillip; Lavrinienko, Anton; Mappes, Tapio; Kesäniemi, Jenni; Jernfors, Toni; Kiljunen, Mikko (DRYAD, 2022)

  Electronic material for Kesäniemi J, Jernfors T, Lavrinienko A, Kivisaari K, Kiljunen M, Mappes T & Watts PC. 2019. Exposure to environmental radionuclides is associated with altered metabolic and immunity pathways in a ...

• Supplementary data for: Improved camouflage through ontogenetic colour change confers reduced detection risk in shore crabs 

  Nokelainen, Ossi; Maynes, Ruth; Mynott, Sara; Price, Natasha; Stevens, Martin (University of Jyväskylä, Open Science Centre. jyx@jyu.fi, 2019)

  Many animals change appearance with age but the reasons why are rarely tested. Common shore crabs (Carcinus maenas), for example, are known for their ability to change colour over time. Young crabs show remarkable variation ...
