Returning keys of the unit during Covid-situation
by Petri Sundqvist 05 Mar '21

05 Mar '21

Hello people of Biolaitos, We installed a mailbox behind the door of the printer/mail room upstairs (picture attached) where you can return the keys of the unit when you dont need them anymore. This is important because I am running through these keys faster than mice goes through soft cheese so I hope this makes it easier for you to return them back to me, so the next person can get access to our unit! I also encourage supervisors to remind leaving personnel to return them because I understand it is easily forgotten. Best wishes and good skiing holidays for those who take it, Petri Sundqvist [Image] Hanki Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>

Reminder: Biology thursday seminar today! Anniina Mattila on Heliconius butterflies
by Heikki Helanterä 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Dear colleagues, please remember today's Biology Thursday seminar 12:15 in zoom (link below), with Dr. Anniina Mattila, Finnish Museum of Natural History LUOMUS, on "Lessons from toxic Heliconius butterflies" Chemical defences against predators underlie the evolution of aposematic coloration and mimicry, which are classic examples of adaptive evolution. Surprisingly little is known about the roles of ecological and evolutionary processes maintaining defence variation, and how they may feedback to shape the evolutionary dynamics of species. Cyanogenic Heliconius butterflies exhibit diverse warning color patterns and mimicry, thus providing a useful framework for investigating these questions. We have studied intraspecific variation in cyanogenic toxicity: its potential ecological and evolutionary sources in wild populations of Heliconius erato along environmental gradients, in common-garden broods and with feeding treatments, the occurrence of possible life-history trade-offs related to the production and maintenance of toxins, as well as the molecular basis of variation with differential gene expression analyses. More on Anniina's research at: https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/anniina-l-k-mattila See you online at noon, Heikki Heikki Helanterä is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Masks, please!
by Heikki Helanterä 26 Feb '21

26 Feb '21

Dear colleagues, I have heard a few worried comments about the relaxed attitude towards masks at our unit even in this rapidly worsening situation. So a reminder to all (including myself): Please, out of respect and concern for our colleagues who have to work on site due to lab work, experiments etc., let's keep the distance, and keep masks on when on campus and not distanced in our own working spaces, and hope that we can avoid any stricter limits for on-site work. All the best, 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
