VESTERINEN Lehtonen, S., Lehtonen, I., Teräs, A., Varrela, J., Virta, P. & Vesterinen, E.J.: DNA bar- coding reveals widespread occurrence of Leptidea juvernica (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) in southern Finland. [DNA-analys visar att ängsvitvingen Leptidea juvernica är utbredd i stora delar av Finland.] – Entomologisk Tidskrift 138(2): 151-159. Uppsala Sweden, 2017. ISSN 0013-886x. DNA barcoding was used to identify 54 specimens of butterfly genus Leptidea collected from various parts of southern Finland in 2011-2013. Results reveal the presence of both the widespread Leptidea sinapis and its cryptic congener L. juvernica from several loca- tions throughout the southern Finland. Our sampling also reveals different habitat prefer- ences between these species in Finland: specimens collected from open, disturbed habitats were mainly identified as L. juvernica, whereas specimens from forest habitats were all found to represent L. sinapis. A morphometric analysis revealed that L. juvernica and L. sinapis hardly differ by their fore wing shape, although males and females seem to differ from each other. Our attempts to DNA barcode selected museum specimens failed and we were not able to verify historical presence of L. juvernica in Finland. The recently increased observations of Leptidea butterflies in large numbers in unusually open habitats across the southern Finland together with our findings suggests ongoing rapid expansion of L. juvernica in Finland.

Two of the seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Finland are located in Rauma. One of the sites, Old Rauma, is an extensive, uniform wood-built town district dating back to the Middle Ages. Old Rauma is a living town district where historical heritage lives on in perfect harmony with modern commerce and local residents. You’ll find an ample range of high-quality cafes, restaurants and charming little boutiques there. The idyllic ambience is complemented by museums, lovely gardens, the marketplace and the impressive medieval Church of the Holy Cross. The other World Heritage Site is the Bronze Age cairn cemetery of Sammallahdenmäki. The stone structures at Sammallahdenmäki – Bronze Age burial cairns built on rocks – bear evidence to the early settlement. Colourful maritime past Seafaring has for centuries brought an international flavour to the life of this small town. Rauma has always earned its livelihood from the sea and in addition has a long tradition of overseas trade, thereby adopting influences from faraway lands. The three tourist islands of Rauma – the Kylmäpihlaja lighthouse island, the Kuuskajaskari fortress island and the Reksaari nature island – are located just off the coast of the town. The archipelago of Rauma belongs to the Bothnian Sea National Park and provides a splendid, memorable setting for those who love the sea and the great outdoors.

  • The Finnish Archipelago Coast from AD 500 to 1550 – a Zone of Interaction
    The Finnish Archipelago Coast from AD 500 to 1550 – a Zone of Interaction Tapani Tuovinen [email protected], [email protected] Abstract New archaeological, historical, paleoecological and onomastic evidence indicates Iron Age settle- ment on the archipelago coast of Uusimaa, a region which traditionally has been perceived as deso- lated during the Iron Age. This view, which has pertained to large parts of the archipelago coast, can be traced back to the early period of field archaeology, when an initial conception of the archipelago as an unsettled and insignificant territory took form. Over time, the idea has been rendered possible by the unbalance between the archaeological evidence and the written sources, the predominant trend of archaeology towards the mainland (the terrestrical paradigm), and the history culture of wilderness. Wilderness was an important platform for the nationalistic constructions of early Finnishness. The thesis about the Iron Age archipelago as an untouched no-man’s land was a history politically convenient tacit agreement between the Finnish- and the Swedish-minded scholars. It can be seen as a part of the post-war demand for a common view of history. A geographical model of the present-day archaeological, historical and palaeoecological evi- dence of the archipelago coast is suggested. Keywords: Finland, Iron Age, Middle Ages, archipelago, settlement studies, nationalism, history, culture, wilderness, borderlands. 1. The coastal Uusimaa revisited er the country had inhabitants at all during the Bronze Age (Aspelin 1875: 58). This drastic The early Finnish settlement archaeologists of- interpretation developed into a long-term re- ten treated the question of whether the country search tradition that contains the idea of easily was settled at all during the prehistory: were perishable human communities and abandoned people in some sense active there, or was the regions.

Tavoitteena on ollut mainita seuroista kaikki olemassaoloajan kotikunnat, mutta eritoten alueliitosten aiheuttamissa kotipaikkamuutoksissa on taatusti lukuisia puutteita. Monilla karjalaisseuroilla on ollut toisen maailmansodan jälkeen alaosastoja eri kunnissa, mutta tällaisia tietoja ei kuntakohtiin ole otettu. Esimerkiksi se, että joidenkin forssalaisseurojen kotikunniksi mainitaan Tammela ja Forssa mutta toisten kotipaikaksi ainoastaan Forssa, ei ole virhe: Forssa irrotettiin Tammelasta 3.12.1921, jonka jälkeen perustettujen seurojen kotikunta on siis ollut alusta asti Forssa. Seurojen entisissä ja myöhemmissä nimissä on varmasti paljonkin puutteita. Kirjojen nimet ja tekijätiedot ovat monelta osin tulkinnanvaraisia. Fennica-tietokannasta näyttää puuttuvan tekijä myös lukuisista sellaisista kirjoista, joiden alkusivuilla tekijä(t) on kerrottu. Monien teosten kannessa on hieman erilainen nimi kuin sisäsivuilla, eikä varsinkaan pitkistä nimistä ole aina helppoa sanoa, mikä osa nimestä olisi syytä kirjata ensimmäiseksi. Toimittanut-termiä on käytetty eritoten takavuosina vaihtelevasti, ja monessa teoksessa ”toimittaja” on tosiasiassa kirjoittanut koko teoksen.

Of two subspecies subsp. ursinum is distributed in Western Europe including the Nordic countries. The general distribution of A. ursinum in the Nordic countries is outlined. The localities for A. ursinum in Finland are the northeasternmost in Europe. The rather few localities are concen- trated to the Åland Islands (Al) and the archipelago of Regio Aboënsis (Ab). They are described in a chronological order of the first find in each municipality. Several localities with A. ursinum as a cultivated plant or as a garden escape are referred to. The habitat requirements for Allium ursinum are discussed. Although A. ursinum has a broad distribution with a clear tendency to occur as a weed, it is still a habitat specialist with a rather narrow range of ecological tolerance as it requires a mesic well-drained soil and drought as well as waterlogging seem to be unfavourable.

  • Encapsulating Visions of Nationhood Finland (1911) As a Memory Box
    Encapsulating Visions of Nationhood Finland (1911) as a Memory Box HANNU SALMI At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries there was a growing interest in Finland to increase tourism by making the home country known among its own citizens and by arousing international interest in travelling to the shores of the Baltic Sea. In 1911, an international fair for tourism, Die Internationale Reise- und Fremden-Verkehr Austellung, was planned to be organised in Berlin, and the initiative was taken in Finland to produce a promotional film for the exhibition. This was exceptional in the sense that no previous film advertising an entire country is known to have been produced in the history of cinema.1 The urge to apply modern technology in building an international reputation, or at least in giving a sign of existence for the international community, was deeply rooted in the upheaval of national sentiments in Finland that was still a part of the Russian empire at the time. The policy of Russification was particularly oppressive during the years 1899–1905 and 1908–1917. Finns have traditionally called these periods sortokaudet (years of oppression) and interpreted them in terms of national threat; yet, they were in 1 On Finnish travel films, see SALMI, 2002, pp. 26-29, SEDERGREN/KIPPOLA, 2009, pp. 200-236. The credit of the first film to market an entire country has often been attributed to the long documentary Finlandia (1922), produced in the newly independent country. This credit may well be given to Finland which was made eleven years earlier despite the fact that Finland was still part of the Russian empire.
