• The effect of a temperature‐sensitive prophage on the evolution of virulence in an opportunistic bacterial pathogen 

  Bruneaux, Matthieu; Ashrafi, Roghaieh; Kronholm, Ilkka; Laanto, Elina; Örmälä‐Odegrip, Anni‐Maria; Galarza, Juan A.; Chen, Zihan; Kubendran, Sumathi Mruthyunjay; Ketola, Tarmo (Wiley, 2022)

  Viruses are key actors of ecosystems and have major impacts on global biogeochemical cycles. Prophages deserve particular attention as they are ubiquitous in bacterial genomes and can enter a lytic cycle when triggered by ...

• 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 ...

• Droplet digital PCR as a tool for investigating dynamics of cryptic symbionts 

  Hiillos, Anna‐Lotta; Thonig, Anne; Knott, Karelyn Emily (Wiley, 2021)

  Interactions among symbiotic organisms and their hosts are major drivers of ecological and evolutionary processes. Monitoring the infection patterns among natural populations and identifying factors affecting these ...

• Effects of anthropogenic stress on hosts and their microbiomes : Treated wastewater alters performance and gut microbiome of a key detritivore (Asellus aquaticus) 

  Lafuente, Elvira; Carles, Louis; Walser, Jean‐Claude; Giulio, Marco; Wullschleger, Simon; Stamm, Christian; Räsänen, Katja (Wiley-Blackwell, 2023)

  Human activity is a major driver of ecological and evolutionary change in wild populations and can have diverse effects on eukaryotic organisms as well as on environmental and host-associated microbial communities. Although ...

• Aquaculture as a source of empirical evidence for coevolution between CRISPR-Cas and phage 

  Hoikkala, Ville; De Freitas Almeida, Gabriel; Laanto, Elina; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina (Royal Society, 2019)

  So far, studies on the bacterial immune system CRISPR-Cas and its ecological and evolutionary effects have been largely limited to laboratory conditions. While providing crucial information on the constituents of CRISPR-Cas, ...
