Assessing the long-term effect of Natura 2000 network on common breeding bird communities
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The Natura 2000 network (N2000) is currently the largest coordinated network of protected areas in the world, and focuses on the conservation of most valuable and threatened species and habitats in Europe. Although there ... -
Dam removals in river restoration - bending the curve of weakened endangered status of migratory fish in Finland
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The endangered status of fishes in Finland has continuously weakened at each official assessment. WWF Finland (World Wide Fund for Nature) aims at bending this curve. Especially the migratory fish species bear high extinction ... -
SIZE ISN'T EVERYTHING: THE IMPORTANCE OF SMALL HABITAT PATCHES WHEN PLANNING THE CONSERVATION OF SPECIES IN FRAGMENTED LANDSCAPES
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Metapopulation theory and landscape ecology indicate that larger patches of habitat are more likely to support self-sustaining populations of more species. In spatial conservation planning, it makes sense that if all else ... -
Community-assessment on Participatory Conservation of Mount Cameroon National Park
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Mount Cameroon National Park (MCNP) is located in the South West region of Cameroon. It's ecologically significant with >2000 flora species influenced climatically by average annual temperatures of 24 to 35 (c) degrees, ... -
Verifying the safe level of visitors’ pressure in aquatic protected areas: surrogate signal species, dummy individuals and bioindication
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Aquatic areas within nature reserves can suffer from certain anthropogenic pressures of its visitors. The littoral zone within small rivers and lentic freshwater systems is particularly threatened by water sports, such as ... -
Industrial-scale evidence collation and application
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)If we are to respond to the ensuing conservation crisis with effective solutions then we need the means to collate and assess evidence on an industrial scale. Undertaking practices already known to be ineffective is a waste ... -
Biodiversity and carbon offsets of the ECCB2018 congress
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)As human beings we cause harmful ecological impacts such as habitat destruction and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Biodiversity and climate offsetting (compensations) are approaches where harmful ecological and climate ... -
Global assessment of ‘border protected areas’: ecosystem conservation along international borders
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Transboundary conservation approaches have a great potential for conserving functional ecosystems, solving conflicts and strengthening bilateral and multilateral diplomatic relations. The UNEP-WCMC Transboundary Protected ... -
The Paris agreement promises? How to stay below 1.5-2 C warming, and what does it mean in the context of sinks and sources/Global bioenergy potential
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Scenarios that keep temperatures below 1.5°C or 2°C global warming strongly suggest that so-called negative emissions are necessary component to achieve these targets. Bioenergy with carbon sequestration and storage (BECCS) ... -
Human dimensions approach to gaining support for biodiversity and large carnivores
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Our human dimensions in wildlife resource management field has grown from its beginnings studying motivations of hunters and describing behaviors to applying theories and predicting behaviors. In fact, our research has ... -
Spinnova - The most sustainable textile fibre in the world
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The global challenges that drive the currently emerging sustainable businesses are growing, as the world population grows on a steep curve. Climate change, marine resource pollution and water shortage and waste issues are ... -
Beyond describing threats: Rigorous analysis of conservation interventions
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Conservation science as a discipline spends a lot of effort describing threats. While this is important, relatively little attention is paid to rigorously testing conservation interventions. Conservation Evidence is one ... -
Shrub growth and expansion in the Arctic tundra: an assessment of controlling factors using an evidence-based approach.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Background Woody shrubs have increased in biomass and expanded into new areas throughout the Pan-Arctic tundra biome in recent decades, which has been linked to a biome-wide observed increase in productivity [1]. Experimental, ... -
Snow Leopard Population Genetics and Diet Analysis in the Baltistan Region of Northern Pakistan
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The snow leopard (Panthera uncia), is perfectly evolved to endure the frigid temperatures and rugged, inhospitable mountain terrain found throughout its Central Asian home range (1). This, along with it’s phantom-like ... -
Does our current environmental monitoring support adaptive management?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)European environmental and rural development policies require programmes of statutory monitoring using prescribed parameters - for example water quality parameters are monitored by all countries that implement the Water ... -
Conservation Biology is not a single field of science: how to judge citation impact properly
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Conservation Biology is not a single field of science. It is a multitude of very different fields of science. It ranges from continental-scale distribution change simulations using planetary-scale climate data, to understanding ... -
Biodiversity conservation on farmland: start at the landscape level
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)For decades, policy makers, NGO’s, companies in the agro-production chain and farmers are struggling to improve biodiversity in Europe’s countryside. Most efforts focus on individual farms. However, we know that in ... -
Armageddon scribes: only transdisciplinarity will rescue conservation biology from irrelevancy
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)I argue that our discipline is caught in a rut of irrelevancy on the grander scale. Much of our research is focussed on refining the basics of what we essentially already know well. While there will always be processes to ... -
Natura 2000 stakeholder involvement in Turkey's forests
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Participation of local stakeholders is very important in selection and creation of Natura 2000 areas. There is not a standard procedure that has been developed by the EU in this respect. This study primarily aims to establish ... -
Towards greater context for scholarly metrics
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)This talk will discuss how most quantitative approaches to evaluating research do not yet fully capture the true disciplinary and public influence of science research. I suggest how machines can aid in human judgement and ...
