by Heikki Helanterä 05 Feb '25

05 Feb '25

Dear all, this week (7th Feb) there will be no unit meeting as I'm travelling, but next week ,14th of Feb, 2pm, we will have Päivi Tomperi from Research support services tell us about the current news in research funding (including ERC, Horizon, Marie Curie, RCoF). So a lot of valuable information and answers to your questions! This session will be on site in our coffee room, but a zoom link will also be set up! See you there!

03 Feb '25

Dear Researcher, Business Finland’s Research to Business (R2B) Call is Open The Spring 2025 Research to Business call is now open, with an application deadline of March 5, 2025. Business Finland funds R2B projects in public research organizations, where the project team prepares a research-based product or service idea for commercialization and conducts applied research to support its commercialization. Several updates have been introduced in the Spring call, incuding: 1. Funding rate: Business Finland can grant funding for up to 80% of the total approved project costs. 2. Project costs: In this call, there is no upper limit on the total project costs. Typical costs range between 300,000€ and 700,000€, and applicants are encouraged to propose budgets of various sizes. We encourage all interested parties to take advantage of this opportunity to develop innovative, research-based solutions for commercialization with the support of Business Finland.

Biology Thursday seminar 6th Feb on site, Ina Satokangas on hybridization, introgression and climate adaptation in ants
by Heikki Helanterä 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

Dear colleagues, Biology Thursday seminar this week will be on site, room MA335, 6th Feb, 12:15, with Dr. Ina Satokangas, Univ. Helsinki, Helsinki Institute of Life Science (HiLIFE), on: Hybridisation and introgression in Formica wood ants - a threat or a key to fast adaptation? Studying how hybridisation and introgression shape closely related species increases our understanding of their persistence and adaptation possibilities. Hybridisation can be detrimental if the hybrids combine incompatible genetic material from their parents. For example, Formica wood ant hybrids suffer from male mortality. However, hybridisation can also facilitate fast adaptation, as populations may gain through it functional genes that allow coping with, e.g., novel thermal requirements. We have analysed whole-genome sequences from five hybridising, closely related species of Formica wood ants that are adapted to different climatic conditions. We show that the wood ant hybrids may harbour adaptive potential under warming climate: they live in warmer habitats than the parental species that is cold-adapted. Patterns of genomic variation suggest that hybrid male mortality may be partly environment-dependent, and that historically the gene exchange has actually been selected for in multiple genomic regions. Does hybridisation lead to exchange of adaptive genes among Formica, and what these are? In summary, I show that hybridisation and gene exchange may bring adaptive benefits. However, our work emphasises that these processes are complex and the evolutionary outcomes depend on many factors, including both intrinsic and environment-dependent selection. See also: https://scholar.google.fi/citations?hl=fi&user=X5vOIiMAAAAJ&view_op=list_wo… AND note that Ina will be around at the unit for the afternoon after the talk, if you want to talk her about your work, her work, genomics, evolution, ants, speciation, climate adaptation etc, please let me know and we'll put you together! Cheers, Heikki

Reminder: Biology Thursday seminar today on site - Tapio Kekki on Citizen science in mycology and the Finnish Fungal Atlas
by Heikki Helanterä 30 Jan '25

30 Jan '25

Dear all, a reminder - today's (30th Jan) Biology Thursday seminar will take place on site, room MA335, 12:15 Lic. Med. Tapio Kekki, Ecology and genetics unit Citizen science in mycology - the Finnish Fungal Atlas and its implications In 2016-2021, the Finnish Fungi Atlas project was carried out in Finland in cooperation with Botanical museums and Mycological associations. It made it easy for everyone to do mushroom observations. The culture of observations has changed and this affects the knowledge about species and nature. Tapio Kekki will present the change in the way Sarcosoma globosum (Witches Cauldron) is observed and how the collection of national fungal sequence data is done with citizen scientists. See you there!
