The need of evidence-based management: the case of the of the Lesser White-Fronted Goose in Northern Norway
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)In the face of global change, conservation actions are implemented worldwide to reduce the risk of extinction of declining populations. Population dynamics can be, however, the result of complex biotic and abiotic interactions. ... -
Combining culturomic datasets to assess the potential for digital monitoring of cross-cultural progress towards Aichi Target 1
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Assessing public interest in nature is one of the key areas where culturomics shows great potential to contribute towards conservation science and practice. For example, internet search volume data has been suggested as a ... -
Global risk of invasion by terrestrial vertebrates under contrasting SSP scenarios
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The introduction of alien species is among the main causes of biodiversity decline in the Anthropocene. We generated predictions of how climate and land-use change may modulate invasions by exotic species in the coming ... -
Options for governance and decision-making across scales and sectors
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Chapter 6 of the IPBES regional assessment for Europe and Central Asia explores governance options and institutional arrangements for better consideration of biodiversity and nature’s contributions to people in public and ... -
The IUCN Green List of Species: An Optimistic New Vision for Conservation
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species has become the global standard for assessing the risk of extinction each species on earth faces. However, conservation also needs an ... -
Almost one century of forest inventory data: how bright are the prospects for the Finnish forest biodiversity?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)With 73% forest cover and 26.2 million ha of forestry land, Finland is the most forested country in Europe, hence contributing significantly to its forest biodiversity. The forestry land is classified into forest land (20.3 ... -
Restoration of Central European fens – the larger context
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Fens are groundwater-fed wetlands that once covered substantial surfaces in Central Europe. They deliver important services to society including carbon fixation, water buffering, biodiversity and nutrient retention. Nowadays ... -
Environmental drivers of canopy gap geometry: a meta-analysis of gap disturbance regimes across forest biomes
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Forest degradation and related biodiversity loss require urgent improvement of forest management practices. Ecological forestry, including emulation of natural disturbances and retention management is considered a promising ... -
Introduction to the concept of ecological solidarity and its challenges
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)This long introduction will be done by two speakers (Maylis Desrousseaux and Alexandra Langlais) The ecological solidarity is an environmental concept coming from both the ecological sciences and the human sciences. Its ... -
Is integrated forest management effective in conserving biodiversity? The inter-disciplinary ConFoBi research programme
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)ConFoBi (Conservation of Forest Biodiversity in Multiple-use Landscapes of Central Europe) is a major research and qualification programme of Freiburg University, Germany. ConFoBi combines multi-scale ecological studies ... -
The zoogeographical domains: a new conservation target at global scale
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Zooregions are classifications of the Earth’s surface based on characteristic species assemblages. Consequently, zooregions reflect how ecological, evolutionary, and historical processes have been acting over millions of ... -
Extent of the impact of the Chinese wildlife trade on the world's wildlife
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Overharvesting is one of the key drivers of biodiversity loss. With rising human population and standards of living in many emergent and developing countries, demand for wildlife is on the increase. As it endangers such ... -
Changing attitudes towards wild predators, addressing fear
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The presence of large carnivores close to the built environment triggers strong emotions among the public. Some people may see the presence of these animals as a positive and rewarding experience, while other may respond ... -
Bird health and sperm quality in relation to environmental levels of neonicotinoids
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Neonicotinoids pesticides are commonly used in agriculture. They are administered mainly prophylactically as seed coating, but can also be sprayed in some cultures. Several characteristics of these molecules make them prone ... -
Institutional fit in the maintenance of dynamic habitat networks for metapopulations
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Species living in metapopulations depend on connected habitat networks for survival. If habitat networks experience fast temporal dynamics, species conservation requires preventing habitat discontinuities that could lead ... -
