Conspecific attraction boosts local density while causing lags in range expansion despite high dispersal ability: experiments with a reintroduced endangered mammal
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The potential range of many species is shifting, reflecting changing ecological conditions due to climate change or the disappearance of causes of decline. The length of any lag between new habitat becoming available and ... -
Plot-based observations on rare macrofungi confined to peatland habitats in West Siberia
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Conservation of fungi largely depends on conservation of their habitats as many species are host- and habitat-specific. The peatland habitats are characterized by excess of water and acidic pH of soil, hence the mycota ... -
An overview of international legal and institutional frameworks for promoting community action in conservation
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)In much of the conservation discourse, the interests of humans and biodiversity are still presented as conflicting, in a relationship where satisfying the needs of one would come to the detriment of the other. This trade-off ... -
Organic farming improves the spatiotemporal stability of pollinator species richness
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The spatiotemporal stability of the biodiversity of service providers such as insect pollinators is critical to guarantee high and stable levels of ecosystem services in agroecosystems. The proportion of semi-natural ... -
The role of soft law vs hard law instruments in the enforcement of biodiversity offsets and their impacts on stakeholders
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The enforcement of biodiversity offsets is of utmost important for their effectiveness. According to many studies, the principal reasons offsets fail to achieve their intended purpose in regulatory systems are the lack of ... -
The effects of flower-rich fields on biodiversity-based ecosystem services in the agricultural landscape.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The rising demand of agricultural products has led to agricultural intensification based on external inputs. Therefore, biodiversity and semi-natural habitats in agricultural landscapes have decreased in the last decades. ... -
Cultural Brand or Resource Reserve? : a 'Yellowstone Index' of public interest in National Parks
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The term national park has public meaning and institutional definition. The first derives from an ideal, promoted by prominent citizens between ca. 1850 and 1970 that, through the preservation and enjoyment of spectacular ... -
Integration of evolutionary diversity in conservation planning: recent advances and new perspectives
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Spatial conservation planning has evolved remarkably in past decades, moving from strategies consisting in identifying spatial patterns of species richness, endemism and turnover to sophisticated prioritization frameworks ... -
Ecological intensification: using wildlife-friendly farming to increases crop yield
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Ecologically intensifying arable agricultural systems by manipulating underlying ecosystem services represents a fundamental requirement to reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture. While there is considerable ... -
Can manipulation of ungulate herbivory facilitate biodiversity conservation for forest vegetation and invertebrates?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Livestock grazing and ‘overabundance’ of large wild herbivores in forests have long been perceived as conflicting with the aims of both silviculture and forest conservation; however, herbivory can also help to maintain ... -

(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Bamboos (Poaceae), the ‘Green Gold’ of India are a wonderful gift of nature to mankind. These tree grasses contribute a significant component of tropical moist deciduous – evergreen forests and temperate – alpine forests ... -
Crops in a Changing World: Hidden Forest-Agriculture Teleconnections
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Advances in climate change modeling have uncovered eco-climate teleconnections where changes in weather or the environment in one location affect distant regions. Recent studies demonstrate that loss of forest cover in one ... -
