Oh! Our #biomimetic, #aposematic #wind turbine paper is out!
@grahancock.bsky.social put together a fantastic short video explaining the study — so if you don’t feel like reading the paper, here’s the nutshell version! @helsinki.fi @behavecol.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg41...

Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen-containing hetero...
New paper out: this is the 3rd ch. from my M.Sc.-thesis that started in 2019! How did the toxin glands as well as the composition of the toxins secreted from these glands change after an African toad invaded novel ranges and what are potential drivers of these changes?

Nature - The primatologist challenged what it meant to be a scientist.
Today Nordea voted to continue financing new oil from the Arctic.
Nordea's claim to be a sustainability leader has watered down - they not only continue to be the biggest investor in fossil fuel companies in Finland but also retracted from their climate pledges.
Our polar coalition is not happy.

Helsingin yliopiston tuoreen tutkimuksen mukaan luonnon varoitusvärit voisivat estää lintuja törmäilemästä tuulivoimaloihin.
By mimicking the warning colours of animals that ward off birds, we can produce wind turbine patterns to which birds are averse, reducing the likelihood of
✴️ NEW PAPER! ✴️ In the beautiful Caucasian mountains of 🇬🇪 lives a moth whose wing colour variation (🔴🟠🟡) has intrigued us for ages. Here (doi.org/10.1111/1744...), we studied whether such variation is associated with 🧬 structure or other traits such as size. (1/3)
Really happy that a moth made it to the cover of @nature.com! Thanks to my co-author Gunnar Brehm for this great photo 📸
