Spatial variation in the evolutionary potential and constraints of basal metabolic rate and body mass in a wild bird
2023
An organism's energy budget is strongly related to resource consumption, performance, and fitness. Hence, understanding the evolution of key energetic traits, such as basal metabolic rate (BMR), in natural populations is central for understanding life-history evolution and ecological processes. Here we used quantitative genetic analyses to study evolutionary potential of BMR in two insular populations of the house sparrow (Passer domesticus). We obtained measurements of BMR and body mass (Mb) from 911 house sparrows on the islands of Leka and Vega along the coast of Norway. These two populations were the source populations for translocations to create an additional third, admixed ‘common ga…
Evolutionary trade-offs in a small mammal : a quantitative genetics approach
2017
Limited resources force individuals to trade-off between life-history traits. A vast diversity of life-history strategies, which optimally combine life history traits, can be found. Knowledge of the genetic basis of this phenotypic variation is key to understanding evolutionary processes. I approached life-history evolution by estimating quantitative genetic parameters for a set of life-history traits in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus). The work is based on a laboratory-kept colony subjected to two-way selection for litter size (High- (H) and Low- (L) lines). Costs of the created reproductive strategies were observed in natural conditions. Selection increased the difference in litter size …
Genetics of condition and sexual selection
2007
FM Tarmo Ketolan ekologian ja ympäristönhoidon väitöskirjan ”Genetics of Condition and Sexual Selection” (Kunnon ja seksuaalivalinnan genetiikka) tarkastustilaisuus Jyväskylän yliopistossa. Vastaväittäjänä professori Juha Merilä (Helsingin yliopisto) ja kustoksena dosentti Janne Kotiaho.Linkki väitöksen pdf-versioon tiedotteen lopussa.FM Tarmo Ketola havaitsi väitöstutkimuksessaan, että geneettisesti huonolaatuiset sirkkayksilöt pystyvät käyttämään vähemmän energiaa aktiviteetteihin kuin hyvälaatuiset. Koska sisäsiitos lisäsi perusenergiankulutusta eli ruumiintoimintojen ylläpitoon kulutettua energiaa, se heikensi yksilöiden kuntoa.– Aiemmin on oletettu, että huonolaatuisilla yksilöillä on …
Rieleggere il Presidente. Il parlamentarismo italiano alla prova della vicenda Matttarella.
2022
The re-election of Mattarella takes on the clear meaning of recognition of the legitimacy of the model of presidency that has established itself during the seven-year period, justifying the opportunity to reuse the already tried and tested skills of a President who has worked well. Re-election is in fact an act which, especially in a democratic-representative regime, offers the opportunity to Parliament and parties to formulate, albeit indirectly and ex post, a political judgment on the work of the outgoing President. The re-election also made it possible to maintain a close relationship between the head of state and the political forces, giving an element of elasticity to the institutional…
Stan zachowania gatunków drzew rosnących na rekultywowanych powierzchniach wyrobisk śląskich zakładów przemysłu wapienniczego "Opolwap" S.A
2004
Województwo opolskie charakteryzuje się występowaniem dużych pokładów skał węglanowych. Służą one jako surowiec dla przemysłu cementowo-wapienniczego. Eksploatacja wapieni wiąże się z ogromnymi przekształceniami geomechanicznymi powierzchni ziemi. Jednym z podstawowych problemów wynikających z działalności przemysłu wapienniczego jest rekultywacja terenów przekształconych. W latach 2000-2001 prowadzone były badania dotyczące stanu zachowania upraw leśnych występujących na rekultywowanych powierzchniach Śląskich Zakładów Przemysłu Wapienniczego "Opolwap" S.A w Tarnowie Opolskim. Zakres prac obejmował wykonanie inwentaryzacji drzew oraz określenie ich kondycji zdrowotnej. Powierzchnie badawcz…
Data from: Genomics of speciation and introgression in Princess cichlid fishes from Lake Tanganyika
2016
How variation in the genome translates into biological diversity and new species originate has endured as the mystery of mysteries in evolutionary biology. African cichlid fishes are prime model systems to address speciation-related questions for their remarkable taxonomic and phenotypic diversity, and the possible role of gene flow in this process. Here, we capitalize on genome sequencing and phylogenomic analyses to address the relative impacts of incomplete lineage sorting, introgression and hybrid speciation in the Neolamprologus savoryi-complex (the ‘Princess cichlids’) from Lake Tanganyika. We present a time-calibrated species tree based on whole-genome sequences and provide strong ev…

Connections between microhabitat factors and dimensions of brown trout (Salmo trutta) redds
2017
This study is part of a process of habitat restoration and management of Finnish and Swedish rivers. This study was conducted to analyse detailed and generalised data regarding microhabitat factors and dimensions of spawning redd of brown trout (salmo trutta). The objectives of this study were to analyse connections between redd dimensions, connections between redd length and microhabitat factors and to analyse the variability of redd length and microhabitat factors among catchments in order to understand spawning habitat selectivity of brown trout (salmo trutta). The study shows that the redd dimensions are positively and strongly correlated. Redd length is weakly correlated to microhabita…
Measuring, comparing and interpreting phenotypic selection on floral scent
2022
Natural selection on floral scent composition is a key element of the hypothesis that pollinators and other floral visitors drive scent evolution. The measure of such selection is complicated by the high-dimensional nature of floral scent data and uncertainty about the cognitive processes involved in scent-mediated communication. We use dimension reduction through reduced-rank regression to jointly estimate a scent composite trait under selection and the strength of selection acting on this trait. To assess and compare variation in selection on scent across species, time and space, we reanalyse 22 datasets on six species from four previous studies. The results agreed qualitatively with prev…
