    Aki Sinkkonen

    Environ Sci Pollut Res Int 20:1737-45. 2013
    ..Our results suggest that covering mineral soil with an organic soil layer is an efficient way to remediate recalcitrant chlorophenol contamination in mineral soils. The results of the field experiment are promising...
  2. ncbi Genotypic variation in yellow autumn leaf colours explains aphid load in silver birch
    Aki Sinkkonen
    Department of Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki, Niemenkatu 73, FIN 15140 Lahti, Finland
    New Phytol 195:461-9. 2012
    ..They also stress the importance of recognizing the role of late-season tree-insect interactions in the evolution of herbivory resistance...

    Aki Sinkkonen
    University of Helsinki, Department of Ecological and Environmental Sciences, Niemenkatu 73, 15140 Lahti, Finland
    Environ Pollut 153:523-5. 2008
    ..Very low toxicant concentrations reduce the frequency of most vital seedlings in dense stands in vitro...

    Aki Sinkkonen
    University of Helsinki, Department of Ecological and Environmental Sciences, Niemenkatu 73, 15140 Lahti, Finland
    Ann Bot 102:361-6. 2008
    ..Most current hypotheses presume that autumn colours vary between tree individuals. This study was designed to test if within-tree variation should be taken into account in experimental and theoretical research on autumn colouration...
  5. ncbi Umbilicus as a fitness signal in humans
    Aki Sinkkonen
    University of Helsinki, Department of Ecological and Environmental Sciences, Niemenkatu 73, FIN 15140 Lahti, Finland
    FASEB J 23:10-2. 2009
    ..If further research confirms the signalling hypothesis, female umbilici may be routinely measured to detect risk pregnancies of several fetal abnormalities...

    Aki Sinkkonen
    Department of Ecological and Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki, Niemenkatu 73, 15140 Lahti, Finland
    Sci Total Environ 407:4461-4. 2009
    ..We conclude that the results supported the hypothesis that very low toxicant concentrations may have ecological effects on fast-growing plant species. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the statistical methods currently in use...

    Sari Kauppi
    Department of Environmental Sciences, Section of Ecology, University of Helsinki, Lahti, Finland

    ..minor was exposed to lead acetate though the means of all roots were constant. P. oleracea seemed to be insensitive to selective toxicity. We conclude that selective toxicity at low doses should be considered in parallel with hormesis...
