Developing connection and care for nature in the zoo
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Support for the conservation of large carnivores and for biodiversity is more likely when people have not merely understanding, but also an emotional appreciation for diverse species. These are likely to be enhanced by ...
Developing effective wellbeing indicators for people and nature: how biocultural approaches can facilitate sustainable management of social-ecological systems
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Biocultural approaches-those built from local values and knowledges-can be used to better understand and manage social-ecological systems. A biocultural approach to indicator development begins with an understanding of the ...
Development and use of radiometric indexes for assessing Mediterranean wetland functions and human well being
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Wetland ecosystems in Mediterranien regions, especially coastal, are cradles of biological diversity, providing water and primary productivity upon which countless species of plants, animals depend for survival. They offer ...
Development of artificial spawning nests for pikeperch (Sander lucioperca L.) in a highly modified shallow lake (Lake Balaton, Hungary)
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
The recent fish populations of Lake Balaton considered to be not-self-sustaining, although only recreational angling is allowed in the lake. Stocks of the most important angling fishes (such as common carp, pikeperch), are ...
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 ...
Different management and restoration options for boreal forest – role of fire in the palette
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Fire is ecologically a very effective method to maintain and restore disturbance-based properties of boreal forests. In particular, whenever fire suppression has reduced fires during longer, i.e. decadal or centennial ...
Differential patterns of acute toxicity and genome instability induced by cadmium and lead in Amietophrynus regularis suggest implication for amphibian decline
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Amphibians are increasingly being used as bio-indicator of contamination in ecosystems due to their sensitivity to xenobiotics in the environment. Cadmium and lead compounds, ubiquitous mutagens and carcinogens, are capable ...
Direct and indirect impacts of climate change and land use change over biodiversity: a case of study with the brown bear in Europe
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Climate and land use changes are the main drivers of biodiversity loss and species distribution range contractions. Previous studies have primarily explored the direct effects of these drivers on biodiversity while ignoring ...
Directions in Conservation Biology Revisited
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
In any scientific endeavour, the object is to understand how the natural world works. In applied sciences this endeavour is further motivated by a need to predict the effectiveness of management interventions based on ...
