@HaoYu04060116 @UEF_EnvBio @UniEastFinland @AnneleVirtanen Congratulations Hao! You did a fabulous job defending your work against an excellent opponent in Prof. Francesco Loreto. It was a pleasure to oversee your defence as custos

Finally got my PhD defended😉 Thanks @UEF_EnvBio @UniEastFinland. Both supervisors @JDBlande @AnneleVirtanen.

Looking for a PhD? We have a new NERC-funded studentship open in my lab to investigate the impacts of air pollution on pheromone communication in insect. The studentship is in collaboration with @BenLangfordVOC at @UK_CEH To learn more and apply visit: findaphd.com/phds/project/l…

2nd meeting of our Max Planck Center nGICE ngice.mpg.de Great talks from all our doctoral and postdoctoral researchers and by our advisory board members @astridgroot2 and James Blande

Interested in conifers defense against weevils mediated by plant-plant interactions ? 👉See our latest paper royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… @JDBlande @MKivimaenpaa @royalsociety

@HaoYu04060116 @MKivimaenpaa @royalsociety Very pleased that this work is now published. Well done Hao! And congrats also on yesterday's presentation of this work at IUFRO Lisbon 2022

@Martinplantecol Thanks Martin! Very happy to have this work published. Particular credit goes to @TiszaPatrick. This work was conducted during his successful Marie Curie fellowship in our department @UEF_EnvBio

Great work, James! @JDBlande link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@SiminTihomir Welcome Tihomir! We're happy to have you on the team :)

Ready for examination with @JDBlande from @UniEastFinland the PhD thesis of Yang Liu of @GeoHelsinkiUni @helsinkiuni. The findings of biogenic volatile organic compounds from East African ecosystems are rare in atmospheric sciences. @FMIclimate @heidiphellen @Yang19209175

Just a few more days to apply for an open 2yr postdoc position in our lab. 👇 rekry.saima.fi/certiahome/ope…

@benecofox @UniEastFinland @jkholopainen @UEF_EnvBio Thank you, Ben 😊

@UniEastFinland @jkholopainen @UEF_EnvBio Huge Congrats @JDBlande 🥳

“In the wake of #climatechange and excessive #environmental #pollution, it is vital to develop new methods for effective #agricultural and #horticultural practice,” Professor James Blande says. #uef bit.ly/3uz1mYl @UEF_EnvBio #ecosystem #ozone #insect #plant

@Riikka_Rinnan Congratulations to @JRieksta, on a really strong PhD defence. It was an honour to act as one of the opponent's today.

And everything smoothly steered by Guy Schurgers, the local chair of the assessment committee.

What a pleasure to follow the PhD defence of @JRieksta with excellent opponents Andrea Clavijo McCormick and @JDBlande. Interesting discussions about volatile defences related to insect herbivory and climate change in the Arctic. Congratulations, Jolanta!

@Toby_Bruce @Martinplantecol Indeed, we had slightly different expectations for this study. From our experience, Plutella xylostella tends to make clear choices. The challenge can be to work out why. Good to work with the Maffei lab to work out a bit more about plant responses to chemical cues

@Martinplantecol That’s an interesting and surprising finding @JDBlande

Great new paper by James Blandes' group on plant responses to VOCSW... Exposure to (Z)-11-hexadecenal [(Z)-11-16:Ald] increases Brassica nigra susceptibility to subsequent herbivory disq.us/t/3yklx8n

@Martinplantecol Thanks for your interest @Martinplantecol. Indeed we had some slightly different hypotheses. Fortunately, Agnès Brosset was able to visit the Maffei lab to look at the system in more detail. It was a collaboration that we had planned for some time - maybe we will need a sequel

Everybody uses membrane depolarization and ROS production as markers of defence induction and now the James Blande @JDBlande Massimo Maffei & co say "increased susceptibility"... doi.org/10.1038/s41598… Seems like their Plutella larvae didn´t read the literature 🤔🤨

@helena_ruhanen Ha! They are super-sized turnips. Quite the harvest you got, but not sure how tasty they would have been

Turnip harvest day in summer 2020 in Halola, LUKE Maaninka.

Today Julia Parsons had a great MSc thesis seminar about "Effects of mixed cropping to parasitoid wasps of Plutella xylostella". I have co-supervised her with my PhD supervisor James Blande. @JDBlande There are some field work memories in comments.

Our new publication on diurnal BVOC and photosynthesis trends of conifers was just published in Environmental Pollution. An exceptional effort by Hao Yu researchgate.net/profile/Hao-Yu… went into this finished article sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@helena_ruhanen Congratulations to Usman! A convincing defence of his work - and an honour to be his custos

Usman Rasheed from our research group defended his PhD thesis today. Great work, congratulations! The opponent, prof. Håkan Wallander from Lund University attended by a video call. uef.fi/en/article/rhi…

@elinamantyla @UniTurku Thanks! It was a pleasure to speak in this seminar series. Great to give a research update, eight years after my last presentation in Turku!

Great presentation by @JDBlande at the online biology seminar of @UniTurku about how ozone affects the volatile-mediated interactions. 🌿🐝🐛🦋
