FRESHABIT: The LIFE integrated project for restoration of wetland ecosystems at the catchment level
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Freshwaters provide multiple natural and cultural ecosystem services, which form the basis of Finnish water heritage. In most cases, the deterioration of freshwater ecosystems is due to a range of interacting background ... -
How (not) to protect and monitor the Siberian flying squirrel - an interdisciplinary synthesis
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Monitoring and evaluation are crucial components of informed decision making, but there is still a general lack of evaluation of the effectiveness of different conservation policies and practices. Also, many existing ... -
Living in a landscape mosaic: Movement patterns and resource selection of swamp wallabies
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Broad-scale habitat fragmentation is a visible result of human land-use throughout the world, often resulting in deleterious ecological outcomes. Animals inhabiting fragmented landscapes need to access different habitats ... -
Attraction, avoidance or indifference: How fauna respond to edges in fire-prone landscapes
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)We know quite a lot about how animals respond to edges in modified and fragmented landscapes, but what do they do in natural systems when edges are created by fire? Are some animals attracted to burnt edges? Or is it safer ... -
Predicting the impact of climate change: genomic measures of local adaptation in the Near Eastern Fire Salamander (Salamandra infraimmaculata)
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The Near Eastern fire salamander (Salamandra infraimmaculata) is an endangered species in Israel and the Israeli populations occupy the southernmost, and most xeric habitats of the Salamandra genus worldwide. Due to its ... -
Trade-offs between resource exploitation and biodiversity conservation in North Africa. Case study of Hammamet Protected Area (Tunisia)
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Tunisian natural environments have allowed the development of a remarkable both continental and marine biological diversity. This diversity is explained by the effect of several environmental variation factors such as ... -
Drivers of forest β-diversity in different organisms and its relevance for conservation
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Land-use intensity has been shown to not only affect local alpha-diversity, but also beta-diversity, i.e. the turnover of species among sites, resulting in a homogenization of communities at landscape scale [1]. Thus, for ... -
Expanding the Environmental Value Scale: Understanding how Eudaimonia and Hedonia Influence Conservation Behavior
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Protected areas harbor ecologically diverse ecosystems, are imperative for human well-being, serve as vestiges of cultural heritage and attract tourism. How and why protected areas are valued by people is important because ... -
The extinction risk for threatened species in protected areas: the case of the freshwater crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) in Italy
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The extinction risk for threatened species in protected areas: the case of the freshwater crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) in Italy When a species is endangered it's likely that there is a conflict of interests among ... -
Occurrence of fire among boreal forest site types and climates can guide natural disturbance emulation for biodiversity conservation: a case study of uptake of evidence-based knowledge
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Since 1993 Swedish forest policy states that production and environmental objectives are equally important. This triggered knowledge production about how to diversify forest management systems. For the dominating boreal ... -
Current and future interactions between the natural world and human society in Europe and Central Asia.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Nature and human society interact in complex ways with biodiversity underpinning the benefits that nature contributes to people (NCP) and human development often leading to significant losses in biodiversity through ... -
Identifying drivers of illegal goose hunting and evaluating the effectiveness of management strategies to avoid conservation conflicts
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Combining social research with modelling tools to simulate decision making, can help identify potential win-win conservation strategies that address the needs of biodiversity conservation and local people, thus avoiding ... -
Europe's Nature Conservation Policy: how did we get there?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Biodiversity loss is caused by both local and higher-level environmental and governance trends, hence the response mechanisms for the conservation of biodiversity should also be of a multi-level nature. The European Union’s ... -
Factors prevailing distribution of Eurasian Pygmy Owl and setting conservation priorities in Latvia
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Knowledge of species geographic distribution is of a critical value in conservation biology as it reflects the distribution of its realized ecological niche - the habitat preferences and requirements for survival. In this ... -
Maximising ecosystem service delivery in modern forestry
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Around a third of global forest cover is managed for timber production (1), yet modern forestry faces a plethora of challenges. Climate change, disease and increasing recreational pressures are among the threats and issues ... -
Mycorrhizal fungi in wood-pastures
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Traditional rural biotopes such as wood-pastures are species-rich environments that have been created by low-intensity agriculture. Their amount has decreased dramatically during the 20th century in whole Europe due to the ... -
The effects of fish stocking on food-web dynamics and ecosystem stability
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Fish stocking is used worldwide for conservation and management purposes but its effects on food-web dynamics and ecosystem stability are poorly known. To better understand these effects, an empirically validated network ... -
Challenges of achieving biodiversity offset outcomes through agri-environmental schemes: evidence from an empirical study in Southern France.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Environmental policies increasingly refer to biodiversity offsets (BO) as a way to slow down or halt biodiversity losses caused by development projects, including infrastructure and urban development, that could not be ... -
Loss in grassland plant diversity linked to landscape-wide land-use intensity rather than landscape structure
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Grazed semi-natural pastures provide keystone habitats for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes dominated by intensively managed land. However, such pastures are frequently isolated and embedded in intensively managed ... -
Large-scale sampling of small mammals throughout the year
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Small mammals are a staple food for many predator species determining their abundance, distribution, and diversity (Butet, Paillat & Delattre 2006). The abundance of small mammals in agricultural landscapes varies ...
