    • Loss of species and genetic diversity during colonization: Insights from acanthocephalan parasites in northern European seals 

      Sromek, Ludmila; Ylinen, Eeva; Kunnasranta, Mervi; Maduna, Simo; Sinisalo, Tuula; Michell, Craig T.; Kovacs, Kit M.; Lydersen, Christian; Ieshko, Evgeny; Andrievskaya, Elena; Alexeev, Vyacheslav; Leidenberger, Sonja; Hagen, Snorre; Nyman, Tommi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-19)
      Studies on host–parasite systems that have experienced distributional shifts, range fragmentation, and population declines in the past can provide information regarding how parasite community richness and genetic diversity will change as a result of anthropogenic environmental changes in the future. Here, we studied how sequential postglacial colonization, shifts in habitat, and reduced host ...

    • An urban Blitz with a twist: rapid biodiversity assessment using aquatic environmental DNA 

      Hupało, Kamil; Majaneva, Markus; Czachur, Molly Victoria; Sire, Lucas; Marquina, Daniel; Lijtmaer, Darío A.; Ivanov, Vladislav; Leidenberger, Sonja; Čiampor, Fedor; Čiamporová-Zat'ovičová, Zuzana; Mendes, Izabela S.; Desiderato, Andrea; Topstad, Lasse; Meganck, Kenny; Hariz Z.

      As global biodiversity declines, there is an increasing need to create an educated and engaged society. Having people of all ages participate in measuring biodiversity where they live helps to create awareness. Recently, the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) for biodiversity surveys has gained momentum. Here, we explore whether sampling eDNA and sequencing it can be used as a means of rapidly surveying ...
