The loss and subdivision of habitat into smaller and more spatially isolated units due to human actions has been shown to adversely affect species worldwide. We examined how changes in old forest cover during eight years were associated with the cumulative number of fledged offspring at the end of study period in Eurasian treecreepers (Certhia familiaris) in Central Finland. We were specifically interested in whether the initial level of old forest cover moderated this relation. We applied a flexible and powerful approach, latent growth curve modelling in a structural equation modeling (SEM) framework, to create trajectories describing changes in old forest cover through time, and studied how this change at both the territory core and landscape scales impacted fledging numbers. Our main finding was that at the territory core scale the negative impact of habitat loss on fledging numbers was lessened by the higher levels of initial forest cover, while no association was found at the landscape scale. Our study highlights a powerful, but currently under-utilised methodology among ecologists that can provide important information about biological responses to changes in the environment, providing a mechanistic way to study how land cover dynamics can affect species responses.

Effects of interspecific relationships in forested landscapes on breeding success in Eurasian treecreeper
Jäntti, Ari (University of Jyväskylä, 2005)Jatkuvat vanhoihin metsiin kohdistuvat metsänhakkuut kaventavat puukiipijöiden ja kekomuurahaisten elinmahdollisuuksia. Havaitsin tämän väitöstyössäni, jonka teemoina olivat puukiipijän ja kekomuurahaisten välinen ... -
Habitat selection of an old-growth forest specialist in managed forests
Ettwein, Antonia; Pasinelli, Gilberto; Korner, Pius; Lanz, Michael (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Old-growth specialists are among the species that are affected the most by commercial forestry, and as a result, many of these species are in decline. Knowing their habitat requirements is crucial for their effective ... -
Trait-Based Response of Deadwood and Tree-Related Microhabitats to Decline in Temperate Lowland and Montane Forests
Bouget, C.; Cours, J.; Larrieu, L.; Parmain, G.; Müller, J.; Speckens, V.; Sallé, A. (Springer, 2024)Forest decline caused by climate change has been a growing challenge for European foresters for decades. The accumulation of tree-related microhabitats (TreMs) and deadwood during decline can enhance stand structural ... -

Wood-decaying fungi in old-growth boreal forest fragments : extinctions and colonizations over 20 years
Komonen, Atte; Puumala, Ilkka; Varkonýi, Gergely; Penttilä, Reijo (Suomen metsätieteellinen seura, 2021)According to ecology theory, isolated habitat fragments cannot maintain populations of specialized species. Yet, empirical evidence based on monitoring of the same fragments over time is still limited. We studied the ...
