Evidence for the critical importance of anti-poaching patrols to protect African wildlife
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Tropical forests are on the front lines of the current global extinction crisis, and effective conservation strategies are crucial to prevent continued wildlife declines and extinctions. The establishment and maintenance ... -
The role of private persons in the protection of ecosystems in the French Law. The case of Notre-Dame-des-Landes.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Two main lines answer the conference themes. One tables the balance, between the protection of ecosystems and the human activities, in terms of legal interests. Another addresses the issue of the management of ecosystems ... -
Enabling ecological intensification of agriculture through policy
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Ecological intensification is an innovative, knowledge-based approach to agriculture. It combines emerging understanding of how agro-ecosystems function with agronomic knowledge, to manage agricultural ecosystems in a way ... -
The importance of the Ethical Review Process (ERP) in Conservation
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Decisions in conservation, as in other fields, are very often controversial and involve important ethical issues. The inclusion of the Ethical Review Process (ERP) in conservation projects is therefore of paramount importance ... -
Threatened plants in Kaptai National Park in Rangamati, Bangladesh

Net carbon balance of Finnish forests under climate change - Forest management induced differences between local and global model estimates
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Several studies predict increases of forest growth and carbon stocks under climate change. Increases can be largely attributed to increasing temperature and CO2 concentration of atmosphere, and the assumption that water ... -
Identifying global hotspots and conservation priorities for reptilian phylogenetic diversity
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)As we face the current extinction crisis with extremely limited resources for conservation, it is important to consider how we can preserve as much of the tree of life as possible. To date, global assessments of phylogenetic ... -
The impact of protected area network expansion on the conservation status of Finnish breeding birds
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Species extinction risk, often measured by the IUCN Red List status, is a widely used indicator for the state of biodiversity. Changes in the Red List status have shown alarming and rapid declines of biodiversity, both ... -
Movements of Individual Salmon (Salmo salar) in the Baltic Sea Revealed by Stable Isotopes
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Spatial stable isotope variability (“isoscapes”) offer potential for various applications in migration ecology, wherein stable isotope values of animal tissues are compared to values measured from the environment. We used ... -
