• 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 ...

• The effect of prey resources on evolutionary and ecological dynamics of prey (Serratia marcescens) and predator (Tetrahymena thermophila) 

  Friman, Ville-Petri (2006)

• Variation in defence and its fitness consequences in aposematic animals : interactions among diet, parasites and predators 

  Ojala, Katja (2006)

  All animals face a challenge when defending themselves against several different enemies, e.g. predators and parasites. This has resulted in an enormous variation in defence strategies. Individuals have a limited amount ...

• Breeding near heterospecifics as a defence against brood parasites : can redstarts lower probability of cuckoo parasitism using neighbours? 

  Moreras, Angela; Tolvanen, Jere; Tornberg, Risto; Mönkkönen, Mikko; Forsman, Jukka T.; Thomson, Robert L. (Springer, 2022)

  Breeding habitat choice based on the attraction to other species can provide valuable social information and protection benefits. In birds, species with overlapping resources can be a cue of good quality habitats; species ...
