Here you can find information on the research conducted in Aquatic Community Ecology group in University of Helsinki. We hope you find these pages interesting!
We study aquatic community ecology, biogeography and macroecology and use unicellular organisms as model system to test general ecological theories. Our studies are also useful for biodiversity conservation in freshwaters and for biological monitoring. In science, we search for repeating biodiversity patterns in nature.
Our group is funded by the Academy of Finland, Emil Aaltonen Foundation, Walter & Andree de Nottbeck Foundation and Maj and Tor Nessling Foundation.
