Effectiveness of protected areas in preventing rubber expansion and deforestation in Xishuangbanna, Southwest China.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Protected areas (PAs) are key refuges for the world’s remaining biodiversity, especially in the species rich tropics. However, the tropics also support high human population densities. Xishuangbanna supports a disproportionate ...
Trade-offs and synergies between biodiversity and ecosystem services in restored, reforested, abandoned, and energy-producing peatlands
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
There is a need to optimize the use of peatlands to simultaneously reach the biodiversity, environmental goals and the economic needs. Besides raw material timber and peat, peatlands provide a variety of valuable services, ...
Who and where: predicting road mortality risks using trait models
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Wildlife-vehicle collisions are a major cause of mortality for many species. Empirical estimates of road mortality show that some species are more likely to be killed than others but to what extend this variation can be ...
Global risk of invasion by terrestrial vertebrates under contrasting SSP scenarios
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
The introduction of alien species is among the main causes of biodiversity decline in the Anthropocene. We generated predictions of how climate and land-use change may modulate invasions by exotic species in the coming ...
Priority questions for biodiversity conservation in the Mediterranean Basin
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
The Mediterranean Basin is considered one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, harbouring particularly high species richness and endemicity of taxonomic groups such as plants. This hotspot is unique at the global scale, ...
The effect of human-modified landscape structure on forest grouse broods in two landscape types
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
The population sizes and the breeding success of Finnish tetraonids have been decreasing for decades. In this study, the presence of a grouse hen with a brood in a landscape was used to indicate habitat-related breeding ...
Development of vocal performance in 5th grade children - A longitudinal study of choral class singing
(2009)
The primary aim of the study was to assess the effects of choral class singing on vocal performance in primary school children. In particular, changes of the singing voice in terms of voice range profiles (VRP) and dysphonia ...
Effects of retention forestry on bats: relations between forest structure and the landscape matrix
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
With more than 1200 species worldwide and comprising roughly one fifth of all mammalian species bats are of great importance for global biodiversity. As bio-indicatorsa they are frequently selected target species for ...
JamMo - Developmentally designed software for children’s mobile music-making
(2009)
Mobile learning is one of the most recent branches in educational research. In contrast to traditional classroom learning, mobile learning extends outside the classroom, allowing mobility and flexible interaction between ...
