• Genetic diversity of a clonal earthworm : gene expression variation and impacts on decomposition in metal contaminated soil 

  Mustonen, Marina (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)

  Biodiversity affects ecosystem functioning positively. Metal-contamination diminishes species diversity and ecosystem function depends on the remaining species, and the genotypes within them. I studied how the clonally ...

• Impact of genetic diversity of an earthworm on decomposition and ecosystem functioning 

  Mustonen, Marina; Haimi, Jari; Knott, K. Emily (Elsevier, 2020)

  Ecosystem functioning is affected positively by increased biodiversity, through complementary functions of multiple species or because high-functioning species are more likely in a species-rich community. Genetic diversity ...

• Variation in gene expression within clones of the earthworm Dendrobaena octaedra 

  Mustonen, Marina; Haimi, Jari; Kesäniemi, Jenni; Högmander, Harri; Knott, Emily (Public Library of Science, 2017)

  Gene expression is highly plastic, which can help organisms to both acclimate and adapt to changing environments. Possible variation in gene expression among individuals with the same genotype (among clones) is not widely ...

• Earthworm responses to metal contamination : tools for soil quality assessment 

  Lukkari, Tuomas (University of Jyväskylä, 2004)

  Tuomas Lukkari tutki väitöstyössään kuinka haitta-aineet, esimerkkinä metallit, vaikuttavat ympäristöömme ja sen eliöihin. Lukkari selvitti lieroista mitattavien muuttujien avulla, kuinka haitallisia metallit ovat ja miten ...

• An uptake and elimination kinetics approach to assess the bioavailability of chromium, copper, and arsenic to earthworms (Eisenia andrei) in contaminated field soils 

  Kilpi-Koski, Johanna; Penttinen, Olli-Pekka; Väisänen, Ari; van Gestel, Cornelis A. M. (Springer, 2019)

  The aim of this study was to determine the bioavailability of metals in field soils contaminated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) mixtures. The uptake and elimination kinetics of chromium, copper, and arsenic were ...
