The elephant in the room; evaluating parasite infection with applications for management in an endangered host.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
In natural populations parasites are aggregated, with the majority of parasites found in few, specific hosts, whereas the majority of hosts harbour low or no parasite burdens. Previous research has outlined certain demographic ...
Intrinsic and extrinsic correlates of range change in mammals
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
The global conservation status of all mammals has been evaluated for the first time in 2008, and in 2010 Hoffman et al. (2010) made a retrospective assessment related to the year 1996. A recent study by Di Marco et al. ...
Using historical data to highlight population declines in the iconic Australian platypus
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Long-term population data is essential for accurately assessing species status and for the correct management of endangered species. However, not all species are easily monitored and have been historically overlooked, ...

Assessing population coherence and connectivity: some methods and caveats
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Genetic tools have been championed as providing novel and sensitive ways to detect the otherwise cryptic movements of organisms, and their genes, in the context of landscape connectivity. A variety of statistical approaches ...
Landscape changes associated to wind farm implementation increase predation on artificial ground-nests
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
The effect of wind farms on birds has received considerable attention. Potential indirect impacts associated to these infrastructures include the attraction of predators that may increase nest predation rate, especially ...
