Reminder: Biology Thursday seminar today: Marjo Saastamoinen on Impact of human-induced environmental change on butterfly populations
by Heikki Helanterä 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

Dear colleagues, don't forget today's Biology Thursday seminar, 24th March, 12:15 (on zoom, link below), with Dr. Marjo Saastamoinen (HiLIFE Associate Professor in Evolutionary Ecology, University of Helsinki) on Impact of human-induced environmental change on natural populations - butterflies as a model system Natural populations are increasingly challenged by environmental stress induced by humans. However, as environmental variation is common in nature, species often harbour adaptive strategies that may mitigate negative impacts. Whether existing strategies to deal with environmental variation also benefit individuals and populations under on-going environmental change and more novel stressors remains unknown. To address these questions, we are utilizing the Glanville fritillary butterfly as a study organism and effectively couple laboratory and field based studies with long-term demographic and environmental data and analyses. I will present some recent work assessing the impact of extensive summer drought on individual and population level responses, and discuss whether plasticity and behavioural modifications in habitat use and thus spatial habitat heterogeneity mitigates negative impacts of more extreme events. I will finish my talk with an analyses assessing temporal shifts in phenology and spatial shifts in northern range boundaries due to climate change by using long-term data for 289 Lepidoptera species sampled over two decades in Finland. We show that even though a combination of phenology and range shifts is the most viable strategy under a changing climate, only a minority of species are able to use it. This may have large consequences on future community composition of Boreal Lepidoptera. more on Marjo's research at: https://www2.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/life-history-evolution See you soon, Heikki Heikki Helanterä is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

22 Mar '22

From: Forsman Jukka (LUKE) <jukka.forsman(a)luke.fi> Sent: sunnuntai 20. maaliskuuta 2022 10.26 To: Sami Kivelä <sami.kivela(a)oulu.fi>; Toni Laaksonen <tokrla(a)utu.fi>; Watts, Phillip <phillip.c.watts(a)jyu.fi> Subject: Possible post-doc position in Luke Dear colleagues, I would appreciate if you could spread the add (below) about the possible post-doc position in my project. It is not yet quite certain whether the position can be opened, but if we get the permission, it will be filled fast. Thanks! Jukka Notice on possible post-doc position on examining and resolving agricultural damage caused by barnacle geese Employer: Natural Resources Institute Finland, Latokartanonkaari 9, PL 2, 00791 Helsinki, Finland Project description: Over-migrating barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) are causing severe damage in Finland to agriculture by eating crop plants. The aim of the project is to examine the effectiveness of goose accommodation fields and different repelling methods to decrease the damage by conducting controlled field experiments and monitoring the behavioural and numerical response of barnacle geese. We also will examine the effects of repelling methods on breeding field bird community and the behaviour of migratory resting bird species (waders, ducks, other goose species) that are sharing the same fields with barnacle geese and therefore may be disturbed by repelling methods. Of the breeding birds, special focus is in the breeding success of lapwings (Vanellus vanellus) and curlews (Numenius arquata). Duties: The recruited post-doc is responsible to independently and jointly with other members of the research team examine the research questions of the project. Duties involve field work, data managing, statistical analyses of the data and composing scientific manuscripts. Qualifications and selection criteria: Applicants must have a PhD in ecology, evolutionary biology, statistical modeling or related areas. The recruited post-doc is expected to be enterprising and have excellent English communication skills, as well as experience programming in the R statistical environment. Following qualifications and experience are considered as an advantage: managing and analyzing large data sets, field experimentation, experience about field work in birds, bird identification skills, statistical modelling, experience in applying GIS-data on biological systems. Duration and terms of employment: The start date of the position is May 1st 2022 and is until the end of the 2022. Extension of the project is possible but is currently uncertain. If position can be filled, the recruited person will be chosen among those who have expressed interest for the position. Normal recruitment process will not be applied. Inquiries about the position and the project can be directed to Jukka Forsman: jukka.forsman(a)luke.fi<mailto:jukka.forsman@luke.fi> (phone +358295322395)

Is your eduvpn-profile getting old this week?/Vanheneeko sinun eduvpn-profiilisi tällä viikolla?
by Marjut Saastamoinen 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

The OpenVPN Connect client need a user specific eduvpn profile to work. The profile is valid for two (2) years. Once the profile has expired, the OpenVPN client will no longer open the connection, but will issue an error message "Authentication Failed". To avoid an error situation, check when you created your personal profile. Most created it quite exactly two (2) years ago. The creation date appears in the profile name which you see when opening OpenVPN Connect application. See how to check<https://ict.oulu.fi/16831/?lang=en#date> your profile validity. Create a new profile no later than when its age approaches two years! Detailed instructions and more information: * Eduvpn profile creating (UO) (oulu.fi)<https://ict.oulu.fi/16831/?page&lang=en> Quick instruction: 1. Create the new eduvpn-profile in the service https://account.oulu.fi/eduvpn. At the same time, remove your old profile from the service. 2. After creating the new profile, bring it to OpenVPN client on your computer. Remove your old profile also from OpenVPN. https://patio.oulu.fi/en/news/your-eduvpn-profile-getting-old-week OpenVPN Connect -asiakasohjelma tarvitsee toimiakseen käyttäjäkohtaisen eduvpn-profiilin. Profiili on voimassa kaksi (2) vuotta. Kun profiili on vanhentunut, ei OpenVPN-yhteys enää avaudu, vaan antaa virheilmoituksen "Authentication Failed". Välttääksesi virhetilanteen tarkista, milloin olet luonut henkilökohtaisen profiilisi. Useimmat loivat sen melko tarkalleen kaksi vuotta sitten. Luontipäivämäärä näkyy profiilin nimessä, jonka näet avatessasi OpenVPN Connect -sovelluksen. Katso ohjeesta<https://ict.oulu.fi/16831/?page#date>, kuinka tarkistat profiilisi voimassaoloajan. Luo uusi profiili viimeistään silloin, kun sen ikä lähestyy kahta vuotta! Tarkat ohjeet ja lisätietoa: * Eduvpn-profiilin luominen (OY) (oulu.fi)<https://ict.oulu.fi/16831/?page> Pikaohje: 1. Luo uusi eduvpn-profiili palvelussa https://account.oulu.fi/eduvpn. Poista samalla vanha profiilisi palvelusta. 2. Kun olet luonut uuden eduvpn-profiilin, tuo se tietokoneesi OpenVPN-ohjelmaan. Poista vanha profiilisi myös OpenVPN-ohjelmasta. https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/uutiset/vanheneeko-sinun-eduvpn-profiilisi-talla-v… Ystävällisin terveisin - Kind regards Marjut Saastamoinen Management Assistant Faculty of Science Oulun yliopisto | University of Oulu Tel. +358 50 4700 675 PL 4500, 90014 OULUN YLIOPISTO www.oulu.fi<http://www.oulu.fi/yliopisto>

15 Mar '22

Hei, maisteriseminaarit jatkuvat tällä viikolla. Muistutuksena kaikille, jotka aikovat pitää seminaarin tämän lukuvuoden aikana: varatkaa aika hyvissä ajoin. Keväällä on yleensä kiirettä ja mitä aiemmin pidät seminaarin, sitä enemmän hyödyt siitä. Hi, The master's seminars will continue this week. As a reminder to all who are going to present this year: reserve times as soon as possible. The spring usually gets very busy and the sooner you present the more you benefit from it. https://oulu.zoom.us/j/66787207738 Muista kirjautua nimelläsi / please remember to sign in with your name. 14.15 14.35 Aure Kylmänen Jenna Blomster Turnover in Finnish golden eagle population Urtikarian geneettisten riskitekijöiden tunnistaminen genominlaajuisessa assosiaatiotutkimuksessa Joseph Lawrence Ville Salo Plan Plan Heikki Helanterä Heikki Helanterä Ekaterina Karabanina, Suvi Ponnikas & Laura Kvist Eeva Sliz, Lumi Viljakainen, Johannes Kettunen

Coldrooms 161 and 164 re-organize
by Anna-Maria Pirttilä 15 Mar '22

15 Mar '22

Hei all, Would it be possible to re-organize the coldrooms 161 and 164 (next to Molecular Biology lab) so that one would contain more ”dirty” (soil, etc.) samples, and one would be dedicated to keeping sterile materials? Now they’re all mixed, both are in both, and the sterile samples (mainly in B164) are in danger of contamination. Best wishes, Anna Maria
