DNA metabarcoding of hidden biodiversity in the Mediterranean Basin
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
One of the most remarkable features of Mediterranean-type regions worldwide is their high levels of biodiversity. However, it is striking that we still know so little about many of its taxa, particularly regarding the ...
Do absolute pitch possessors have a field independent cognitive style?
(2009)
The factors contributing to the development of absolute pitch (AP) are still not fully understood. It seems to be neither completely inherited nor completely teachable. This study tested the hypothesis, that individual ...
Do cultural taboos conserve wildlife?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Several contesting claims exist about the role of indigenous communities in wildlife conservation. Although cases of local conservation behaviour have been documented, focus has now shifted from labeling indigenous people ...
Do Finns see forest from trees? An assessment of continuous-cover forestry from recreational and aesthetic perspectives
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
North European forests have, for most part, been subject to intensive forestry since the early 1950s, with clear-cut harvesting being the dominant regeneration method. Consequently, old-growth forests and their associated ...
Do Physiological Responses and Personality Traits Relate to Auditory Perceptual Learning in Musicians and Non-Musicians?
(2009)
Peripheral nervous system can influence learning and memory functions by increasing the activity level (‘arousal’) of the system with increasing task difficulty. Several studies show that musicians discriminate auditory ...
Do traits explain colonization-extinction rates of wood-decaying fungi?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
In Fennoscandia, intensive forest use has led to substantial decreases in the amount and diversity of dead wood, which constitutes critical habitat for saproxylic species such as wood-decaying fungi. The transient nature ...
Documenting Biogeographical and Socio-Economic Patterns of Illegal Wildlife Trade worldwide
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Currently, illegal wildlife trade is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity conservation. Understanding the causes that make some countries participate as wildlife suppliers or consumers is crucial to fight this ...
Does Deforestation Increase Malaria Prevalence? Evidence from Satellite Data and Health Surveys
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Deforestation has been found to increase malaria risk in some settings, while a growing number of studies have found that deforestation increases malaria prevalence in humans, suggesting that in some cases forest conservation ...
Does EU matter for Conservation? The Birds and Habitats directives from a Nordic perspective
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
The EU Birds and Habitats directives (and the associated Natura 2000 network) has recently been evaluated within the so called "Fitness Check" (EC 2016). This has resulted in a new Action Plan aiming to "rapidly improve ...
