Experiments on defensive mimicry : linkages between predator behaviour and qualities of the prey

2006

Myrkylliset tai pahanmakuiset lajit voivat puolustautua saalistajia vastaan mainostamalla syömäkelvottomuuttaan näkyvin varoitussignaalein kuten värein. Saalistajien on tavallisesti opittava kokeilemalla välttämään pahoja ja signaloivia eli aposemaattisia lajeja. Varoitussignaaleja myös jäljitellään luonnossa. Batesin mimikria on ilmiö, jossa syömäkelpoinen matkijalaji suojautuu saalistajilta jäljittelemällä aposemaattisen mallilajin signaalia. Müllerin mimikriassa taas aposemaattiset ja ”näköislajit” käyttävät keskenään samanlaisia signaaleja.Loisteliaimmat esimerkit mimikriasta ovat trooppisia perhosia. Väitöskirjassaan Ihalainen tutki, miten samanlainen signalointi ja maku vaikuttavat sa…

Age- and quality-dependent DNA methylation correlate with melanin-based coloration in a wild bird

2018

Abstract Secondary sexual trait expression can be influenced by fixed individual factors (such as genetic quality) as well as by dynamic factors (such as age and environmentally induced gene expression) that may be associated with variation in condition or quality. In particular, melanin‐based traits are known to relate to condition and there is a well‐characterized genetic pathway underpinning their expression. However, the mechanisms linking variable trait expression to genetic quality remain unclear. One plausible mechanism is that genetic quality could influence trait expression via differential methylation and differential gene expression. We therefore conducted a pilot study examining…

Color Signals in the Black Grouse (Tetrao tetrix): Signal Properties and Their Condition Dependency

2007

Recent progress in techniques of quantifying betweenindividual differences of color-based ornaments has revealed undiscovered possibilities for research in sexual selection. We present how the color spectra data can be comprehensively used for studying the importance of sexual ornaments in the black grouse and how these ornaments are related to a male condition. For this, we used both correlative field and experimental data. Field data indicated that older males had more chromatic coloration than yearlings. Blue chroma of males was correlated with male mating success. We experimentally manipulated yearling birds with testosterone implants and found that testosterone-implanted males had impa…

Quasiparticle properties of nonequilibrium gluon plasma

2018

We apply classical gluodynamics to early stages of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We start by giving a brief overview of QCD. Then we proceed to the space-time evolution of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions in the color glass condensate framework and go through the basics of real-time gluodynamics on the lattice in the temporal gauge. We study the plasmon mass scale in three- and two-dimensional systems by comparing three different methods to measure the mass scale. The methods are a formula which can be derived from Hard Thermal Loop effective theory at leading order (HTL), the effective dispersion relation (DR) and measurement of the plasma oscillation frequency triggered by th…

Timbre and affect dimensions: Evidence from affect and similarity ratings and acoustic correlates of isolated instrument sounds

2012

considerable effort has been made towards understanding how acoustic and structural features contribute to emotional expression in music, but relatively little attention has been paid to the role of timbre in this process. Our aim was to investigate the role of timbre in the perception of affect dimensions in isolated musical sounds, by way of three behavioral experiments. In Experiment 1, participants evaluated perceived affects of 110 instrument sounds that were equal in duration, pitch, and dynamics using a three-dimensional affect model (valence, energy arousal, and tension arousal) and preference and emotional intensity. In Experiment 2, an emotional dissimilarity task was applied to a…

Interaction between surface plasmon polaritons and molecules in strong coupling limit

2016

Miniaturization of optical elements and their integration to electronic circuits is limited by diffraction limit. It was realized that light being coupled to surface plasmons (SP) can overcome this limit. Employing also optically active molecules in combination with SPs can drive optical circuits to nm-scale and add functionalities. For efficient performance of plasmonic elements involving fluorescent dye molecules investigation of physics behind their interaction is of high priority. In this thesis interaction between surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and different dye molecules has been studied, especially within strong coupling limit, which brings in totally new physical properties in th…

QCD bremsstrahlung at high energy

2017

Tämän työn tavoitteena on laskea kahdella tavalla puutason differentiaalisen vaikutusalan korkeaenergiaraja jarrutussäteilyprosessille, jossa kvarkki siroaa ulkoisesta Coulombin kentästä ja emittoi gluonin. Ensin vaikutusala lasketaan käyttämällä "tavallista" perturbatiivista kvanttiväridynamiikkaa tapauksessa, jossa ulkoista kenttää vastaa sironta leptonista. Sirontaan liittyvä matriisielementti rakennetaan prosessiin liittyvistä kahdesta Feynmanin diagrammista, ja differentiaalisen vaikutusalan laskeminen tästä on suoraviivaista tavallisen hiukkasfysiikan alkeiskurssin tiedoilla. Korkeaenergiaraja saadaan poimimalla matriisielementistä vain voimakkaimmin massakeskipisteliikeemäärästä riip…
