• 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 ...

• 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 ...

• Sexual dimorphism in subterranean amphipod crustaceans covaries with subterranean habitat type 

  Premate, Ester; Fišer, Žiga; Biro, Anna; Copilas-Ciocianu, Denis; Fromhage, Lutz; Jennions, Michael; Borko, Špela; Herczeg, Gábor; Balazs, Gergely; Kralj-Fišer, Simona; Fišer, Cene (Oxford University Press, 2024)

  Sexual dimorphism can evolve in response to sex-specific selection pressures that vary across habitats. We studied sexual differences in subterranean amphipods Niphargus living in shallow subterranean habitats (close to ...

• 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 ...
