The Forest's Archipelago: Premier of a local documentary film & panel discussion on 18 March at 16-19
by Heikki Helanterä 12 Mar '24

12 Mar '24

The Forest's Archipelago - premier of a documentary & panel discussion Date and time: 18th of March, 16:00-19:00 Location: LO124 Areena, Linnanmaa Campus Welcome to CinemANTS event! We are screening The Forest's Archipelago, a documentary film by Clément Couturier and Caroline Lelievre, after which there will be a panel discussion with one of the filmmakers, researchers, a featured forest owner and a tv-journalist. This is the film's premier in Finland. This documentary has been shot last year in Oulu area and in the national park Iso-Syöte with the participation of Oulu University researchers. Finland is an ocean Forest. Most of it are well-aligned trees. In there, encompassing small patches of isolated old-growth forests with biodiversity. These sanctuaries form an archipelago of fragile, precious islands. But on these islands, the life is difficult for animal species such as the Siberian flying squirrel or the willow tit to survive as their ecosystems shrink due to clear-cutting and land use. Fortunately, Finns are becoming aware of the situation inherited from the past, and a new generation of small forest owners are rethinking how the forest is used. Watch the teaser here: https://vimeo.com/873275679 Panellist: Clément Couturier, Stefan Prost, Gerrit Wehrenberg, Katri Kurkela, Emma Vatka, and tv-journalist Juha Virranniemi. Open to all - but please register if you would like to have some food and drinks during the event! Register here: https://link.webropolsurveys.com/S/0E1FD7D8B235804B Cinema is a powerful medium for the exploration of the changing human-environment relations at a time of biodiversity and ecological crises. The CinemANTS series takes us on a journey across styles and geographies to reflect on how we can use the moving image to celebrate the enchantment of the natural world, express the grief in its loss, and find a different way of living in the changing lands and landscapes. Organized as part of the Biodiverse Anthropocenes programme<https://www.oulu.fi/en/research/biodiverse-arctic-and-global-resilience/bio…>, CinemANTS brings renowned documentary makers to Oulu to share their vision and expertise. We hope to see you there! Anna Krzywoszynska and Mathilde van den Berg Information on Patio<https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/node/8063>

Biology Thursday seminar 14th March Viile Friman on phytopathogenic bacteria and their viral parasites
by Heikki Helanterä 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Dear colleagues, Biology Thursday seminar continues online (link below) on the 14th of March, 12:15 with Prof. Ville-Petri Friman (Department of Microbiology, Univ. Helsinki) on Ecology and evolution of phytopathogenic bacterium and its viral parasites in plant rhizosphere microbiomes Abstract: Bacterial viruses - phages - shape the structure of natural bacterial communities via the direct killing of cells and by imposing selection for the evolution of phage resistance. While phages are abundant in environmental microbiomes, their effects on phytopathogenic Ralstonia solanacearum bacterium, rhizosphere bacterial communities and associated plants are poorly understood. In this talk, I will provide an overview for our current work conducted in both UK and China. We find that Ralstonia-specific phages are common in aquatic and soil environments and can be isolated from agricultural and non-crop reservoir plant hosts. While phage resistance is common, it varies in both space and time. Phages can be used to control R. solanacearum infections in planta, and while phage resistance evolves rapidly it is often costly, leading to trade-offs with pathogen virulence and competitiveness. Together, our findings suggest that R. solanacearum commonly interacts with phages in natural microbiomes, which could affect pathogen distribution, evolution, and responses to phage biocontrol applications. More on his research at: https://villefrimanscience.weebly.com/ See you online on Thursday! Heikki Heikki Helanterä is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

FW: JUFO kerää palautetta tiedelehtien arviointikäytännöistä / JUFO collects feedback on quality assessment of scientific journals
by Heikki Helanterä 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Hi all, the JUFO panels that are in charge of the journal and book publisher rankings in Finland (which as I'm sure you know is very important for the funding we get based on our publishing output) is collecting information about dubious practices of journals you may have encountered as an author, reviews or editor - your input would be very valuable here to prevent dubious journals from being highly ranked, so please look at the website and use the online tool to give your input! https://julkaisufoorumi.fi/en/news/jufo-collects-experiences-defects-qualit… Cheers, Heikki From: Elina Pylvänäinen <elina.pylvanainen(a)tsv.fi> Sent: keskiviikko 6. maaliskuuta 2024 13.01 Subject: JUFO kerää palautetta tiedelehtien arviointikäytännöistä / JUFO collects feedback on quality assessment of scientific journals Hyvät paneelien jäsenet (in English below), Syksyn paneelikokouksissa kerroimme, että keräämme tänä keväänä tiedeyhteisön kokemuksia tiedelehtien puutteellisista laadunarviointikäytännöistä. Kampanja on parhaillaan käynnissä ja tiedote kampanjasta löytyy verkkosivuiltamme<https://julkaisufoorumi.fi/fi/ajankohtaista/keraamme-kokemuksia-tiedelehtie…>. Toivoisimme, että voisitte mahdollisuuksienne mukaan jakaa tietoa kampanjasta myös omissa verkostoissanne, jotta saamme mahdollisimman paljon palautetta arviointityön tueksi. Kampanjan puitteissa on mahdollista käydä antamassa palautetta 25.3. saakka, jolloin palaute ehtii mukaan kevään paneelinkokouksiin. Myöhemmin saapunut palaute käsitellään myöhemmissä paneelikokouksissa. Kiitos avusta ja tapaamisiin paneelikokouksissa! Terveisin, Elina -- Dear panel members, At the autumn meetings of the panels, it was discussed that we are going to collect research community's experiences of defects in quality assessment practices of scientific journals this spring. The campaign is currently running and we have published an announcement of the campaign on our websites<https://julkaisufoorumi.fi/en/news/jufo-collects-experiences-defects-qualit…>. We would appreciate your help in sharing the information about the campaign in your own networks so that we'll get as much feedback as possible to support the evaluation work. The feedback we receive by 25.3. will be discussed at the spring meetings of the panels. However, feedback can also be given after the end of the campaign, in which case it will be discussed in subsequent panel meetings. Thank you for your help and see you at the panel meetings! Best regards, Elina

Luennoitsijoina ovat alan osaajat Britanniasta, joilla on pitkäaikainen kokemus ja visio tekniikan tulevaisuuden hyödyistä eläinlajien monimuotoisuuden suojelussa. Tavoite on oppia käytännössä kokoamaan kudosmateriaalia, joka sisältää geneettistä materiaalia ja jota voidaan tulevaisuudessa hyödyntää muun muassa kloonaustekniikalla. Erityisesti kausilisääntyvien eläinlajien osalta, kuten vuohi, poro ja metsäpeura, tätä säilytysmuotoa voidaan käyttää lisääntymiskauden ulkopuolella, jolloin sukusolujen ja alkioiden saanti ei ole mahdollista, mutta myös ympäri vuoden lisääntyvien lajien geneettisen variaation turvaamiseksi on tärkeää pakastaa pitkäaikaissäilytykseen sidekudossoluja. Lisätietoa ohessa (pdf). Lopullinen ohjelma on valmis pian, joten lisätietoa muun muassa rekisteröitymisestä tulossa. Työpajaan voidaan ottaa osallistujia vain rajallinen määrä. Olkaa hyvä ja tarpeen mukaan voitte välittää tätä viestiä kollegoillenne ja myös opiskelijoille, joilla on kiinnostus kryokonservointigenetiikkaan (cryoconservation genetics). terv.
