• The Effects of Hybridization and Parasite Infection on the Survival and Behaviour of Endangered Landlocked Salmon Subject to Predation : Implications for Genetic Rescue 

  Eronen, Aslak; Janhunen, Matti; Hyvärinen, Pekka; Kortet, Raine; Karvonen, Anssi (Wiley, 2024)

  A prerequisite of genetic rescue in endangered and genetically depauperate populations is to pre-evaluate between possible pros and cons of hybridization for the life history and survival of the target population. We ...

• Automatic camera traps in monitoring small mammals : the effect of predation risk on activity and foraging in winter and spring 

  Kervola, Anna (2019)

  Ilmastonmuutoksen myötä on tärkeää seurata vaihtuvissa ympäristöolosuhteissa eläviä eläinpopulaatioita- ja yhdyskuntia. Modernit riistakamerat mahdollistavat eläinten tarkkailun luonnollisessa ympäristössä. Tämä tutkimus ...

• 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 ...

• Population structure, life cycle, and trophic niche of the glacial relict amphipod, Gammaracanthus lacustris, in a large boreal lake 

  Salonen, Jouni K.; Hiltunen, Minna; Figueiredo, Kaisa; Paavilainen, Pinja; Sinisalo, Tuula; Strandberg, Ursula; Kankaala, Paula; Taskinen, Jouni (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2019)

  Ecology of the glacial relict macrocrustacean Gammaracanthus lacustris, a rare inhabitant of deep Fennoscandian lakes, is poorly understood. We studied the life cycle and trophic position of this cold‐stenothermic amphipod ...

• Selective Fatty Acid Retention and Turnover in the Freshwater Amphipod Pallaseopsis quadrispinosa 

  Taipale, Sami J.; Kers, Erwin; Peltomaa, Elina; Loehr, John; Kainz, Martin J. (MDPI, 2021)

  Gammarid amphipods are a crucial link connecting primary producers with secondary consumers, but little is known about their nutritional ecology. Here we asked how starvation and subsequent feeding on different nutritional ...
