The new study highlights that catchment area land-use affect the transport of organic matter from donor terrestrial landscapes to recipient lake ecosystems, lake organic matter pool origin, lake energy dynamics and thus the function the aquatic food webs.

Researchers at the Nanoscience Center have isolated giant viruses for the first time in Finland. The finding indicates that giant viruses are more prevalent than thought in soil and water, even in northern environments.

Last year, JYU.Wisdom launched a research project in collaboration with the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom to investigate the biodiversity impacts of the entire Finnish transport system during 2025.

Researchers have developed an innovative ratiometric fluorosensor. The sensor can be used as a novel viral RNA sensing platform which offers a much-needed possibility to detect real-time viral RNA appearance during infection.

Five international researchers will begin their projects at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ after securing funding from Marie SkÅ‚odowska-Curie Actions.

In his doctoral research, M.Sc. Jaakko Litmanen used biomolecule-based modelling to study the composition of the phytoplankton community in Lake Vesijärvi, as well as the diets of water fleas and calanoid copepods over a seven-year period.

The Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ together with the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke), is organising the National Fish Research Days on 1-2 April 2025. The Fish Research Days will focus widely on fish biology and sustainable use of fish resources.

The Oikos-Finland 2025 conference will be held at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ on 11-14 March 2025. The conference will bring together current basic and applied research in ecology and evolutionary biology.

PrecisionPhage aims at furthering the utilisation of phage research and innovative phage technologies against global health threat of antibiotic resistance.

NordForsk has funded a collaborative project on sustainable fishing to combat climate change and develop concrete measures for protecting marine biodiversity. The project is coordinated by the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥.

Education also provides the scientific capacity for developing new, sustainable technologies and ways of working, but alongside expertise, it also develops our ability to act according to these, writes Mikko Mönkkönen in Science blog..
