Research Professional user training 30 Nov & 14 Dec
by Päivi Tomperi 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

Research Professional user training Research Professional is a research funding and news database providing national, European and international funding opportunities. We are organising two identical training sessions, which provide an introduction to the Research Professional platform, demonstrate how to search for funding opportunities in the Funding database, and show how to set up email alerts and interact with the content. The sessions will also cover the News and Funding Insight services as well as the Awards and Conferences databases. The trainer is Sofia Vilja from Research Professional.

Talk by prof Virpi Lummaa on Friday at noon!
by Heikki Helanterä 25 Nov '21

25 Nov '21

Dear colleagues, as part of the Biodiverse Anthropocenes seminar series, Prof. Virpi Lummaa from Turku is giving a talk tomorrow 26th Nov The talk will take place at 12 live on Tellus Stage, and there will be coffee and time to mingle and chat after the talk: Virpi is perhaps better known for her ground-breaking work on human evolution will this time talk about her other line of research: " Know your elephant! How interactions with humans influence elephant behaviour, physiology and welfare in Myanmar" Virpi will arrive already in the morning, and stay for the afternoon, so let me know if you want to join us for coffee / lunch / perhaps drinks in town before she travels back - the details are still a bit open but let me know and I'll keep you posted. See you tomorrow, Heikki =============================================== Heikki Helanterä Associate Professor (tenure track) Ekologian ja genetiikan tutkimusyksikkö / Ecology and Genetics Research Unit Oulun Yliopisto / University of Oulu / Finland heikki.helantera(a)oulu.fi<mailto:heikki.helantera@oulu.fi> +358-40-7507 334

Reminder: Biology Thu seminar today at 16:30 Dr. James Thorson on statistical models for whole-ecosystem understanding
by Heikki Helanterä 25 Nov '21

25 Nov '21

Dear colleagues, please remember today's seminar, and note the unusual time 16:30 (due to time zone differences): The seminar will be hosted by Sami Kivelä. Heikki Biology Thursday seminar 25th Nov at 16:30 (note unusual hour!) on zoom (link below): Dr. James Thorson, the Program lead at the Habitat and Ecologial Processes Research Program / Alaska Fisheries Science Center / National Marine Fisheries Service in Seattle, WA. His title: Statistical models for whole-of-ecosystem understanding, and what they say about changes in the Pacific gateway to the Arctic Topics: * Tweedie stomachs * Pacific cod movement * Whole-of-ecosystem Bering Sea synthesis Abstract: The central Arctic and adjacent oceans are rapidly changing due to loss of sea ice resulting from the climate crisis. Changes are apparent in planktonic advection and phenology, shifting habitat preferences for mobile consumers, as well as consumer diet and bioenergetics. However, there are few methods to synthesize spatial patterns in numerical abundance, diet, and physiological condition for multiple trophic levels, as well as how these change among seasons and years. To address this, I present three new statistical methods to facilitate whole-of-ecosystem spatio-temporal synthesis. First, I discuss a simple approach to analyze food-habits data (stomach contents, etc.) using a Tweedie generalized linear model (GLM). This GLM approximates a thinned and double-marked Poisson point process representing foraging processes, and shows multidecadal shifts in prey for a central-place forager (Middleton Island tufted puffins). Second, I introduce a "diffusion-taxis" movement model, which I fit to data from multi-decadal surveys, fishery catch-and-effort, tagging data, and output from global climate models. This model demonstrates the rapid northward movement for Pacific cod into the northern Bering Sea. Finally, I introduce a whole-of-ecosystem "empirical orthogonal function" (EOF) model for the eastern Bering Sea. This EOF demonstrates the outsize importance of cold near-bottom waters created by spring ice formation, where warm ice-free years result in detrimental conditions for Alaska pollock. Throughout, I emphasize that whole-of-ecosystem synthesis is feasible using off-the-shelf statistical software, and that the Pacific Arctic in particular is experiencing rapid changes due to climate. Also, don't forget that prof. Virpi Lummaa is giving a talk in the Biodiverse Anthropocenes monthly series on Friday 26th Nov at 12-2pm at Tellus Stage (including snacks and refreshments and time to mingle! So see you online on Thursday, and on site in Tellus on Friday, Heikki Heikki Helanterä is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
