A systematic map of biodiversity impacts of active forest management relevant to protected areas
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
The biodiversity of forests set aside from forestry is often considered best preserved by non-intervention. In many protected forests, however, remaining biodiversity values are legacies of past disturbances, e.g. recurring ...
Abandonment or ambition: Sustaining nature and society through pastoralism in 21st century Abruzzo, Italy
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
The abandonment of rural and peripheral areas has been a dominant trend in Southern Europe since the rapid modernization of the 1960s. At the social level, this trend is leading to the disintegration of local communities ...
Absolute of Relative? A New Approach to Building Feature Vectors For Emotion Tracking In Music
(University of Jyväskylä, Department of Music, 2013)
It is believed that violation of or conformity to expectancy when listening to music is one of the main sources of musical emotion. To address this, we test a new way of building feature vectors and representing features ...
Absolute pitch and tone language - Two new studies
(2009)
Two new studies provide evidence in favor of the hypothesis that absolute pitch is strongly influenced by a speech-related critical period. The first study examined the prevalence of absolute pitch among students in at the ...
Accounting for global drivers in landscape-level assessments of biodiversity and ecosystem services
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Wood production is a pivotal provisioning ecosystem service of major economic importance, yet its intensive utilization is a key reason for species declines in the EU and globally. A transition from a fossil- to a bio-based ...
Accurate spatial ecology of endangered Saimaa ringed seals as a base for fishing closure determination
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Saimaa ringed seal (Phoca hispida saimensis) is an endangered subspecies living landlocked in Lake Saimaa, southeastern Finland. One of the major threats of this small population (ca 370 seals) is by-catch due to mainly ...
Activity Patterns of the Reintroduced Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) in the Pyrenees Estimated by Photo-trapping Camera
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Information on intra-specific activity patterns in non-social species, such as the brown bear (Ursus arctos), is important for understanding behavioral strategies of avoidance among individuals, specially between different ...
Adapting nature conservation to climate change: the importance of microclimate
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
Over the last 15 years bioclimate models have been widely used to predict ecological responses to climate change. Results from these models suggest catastrophic consequences for life on earth, but to date, climate change ...
Adaptive memory representations of musical tempo and pitch
(2009)
Recent studies showed that the perception of extremely shifted versions of familiar pieces of music affects judgements about the original tempo and pitch. This paper aims to give an overview on musical adaptation effects ...
Addressing challenges of the science-policy-society interface: the EKLIPSE way
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)
In February 2016, the EKLIPSE project started. This project, funded by the European Union, aims to develop an innovative, light, ethical and self-sustainable EU support mechanism for evidence-based and evidence-informed ...
