Protected area connectivity shortfalls and country-level priorities: global and European insights
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Connectivity of protected areas (PAs) is crucial for meeting their conservation goals. We evaluate the progress of all countries towards Aichi Target 11 of the Convention on Biological Diversity, which is to have at least ... -
Species in the Virtual World: Culturomics meets Biogeography
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Since the evolution of consciousness, animals and plants have been core components of mental models that humans use to make sense of the world. The species that populate these models inevitably include those that have ... -
eDNA metabarcoding of rivers: Is all eDNA everywhere, all the time?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Environmental DNA metabarcoding has become a popular tool for the assessment of freshwater biodiversity, but it is largely unclear how sampling time and location influence the assessment of communities. Abiotic factors in ... -
The Three Awkward Companions of the SDGs: Growth, Inclusivity and Sustainability.
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The Sustainable Development Goals have aspirations for achievements in respect of three important characteristics of development that have hitherto proven largely to be inimical. These are economic growth, inclusivity and ... -
Toward practical conservation of fungal diversity: polypores reveal the history and guide the future of forest conservation
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)National IUCN red lists are important information sources for assessing land use decisions from a biodiversity conservation perspective. If the assessments are detailed enough, they can be used as starting points for ... -
Mutualistic interactions along a fragmentation gradient
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Forest cover loss and fragmentation due to land use changes are one of the principal causes of global biodiversity loss. Indirectly, forest fragmentation can reduce biodiversity and ecosystem functioning by disrupting ... -
How to really help bees: key pollen host plants may alter growth, development and fitness, thereby influencing populations, of a generalist solitary bee
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Floral resource limitation connected with land degradation and habitat loss was identified as potential threat that cause pollinator decline and food resource quality may be the main limiting factor for bee populations. ... -
An assessment of juvenile Atlantic cod Gadus morhua distribution and growth using diver operated stereo-video surveys
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)While the relatively infamous Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) fisheries have recovered in some areas, the cod fishery in the Firth of Clyde on the west coast of Scotland remains depleted. The role of juvenile fish survival in ... -
The effect of habitat fragmentation on climate-driven community changes
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)There is ample evidence that the ongoing climate change has large impacts on the distribution of species and on the composition of biological communities. Specifically, we known that communities respond to climate change ... -
Understanding and governing spillovers and leakage
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The session’s goal is to progress on measuring, quantifying, understanding and developing solutions to address the conservation threats related to telecouplings, such as those embodied in trade flows. This presentation ... -
Various responses of ground beetles in natural versus anthropogenic edges
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Worldwide fragmentation and loss of natural habitats increase the occurrence of habitat edges that are transitional zones between adjoining ecosystems or habitats. Once created, edges are distinguishable by their maintaining ... -
Linking physical landscape properties to perceived landscape features: potentials in NILS monitoring program
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Key words: Monitoring, perception, indicators Globally, land-use and climate change has resulted in a number of landscape transformations. At the same time, how humans use and perceive landscapes has changed and is changing. ... -
Promoting multiple ecosystem services through agri-environmental interventions
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Agri-environmental interventions such as wildflower strips and other greening measures in agro- ecosystems aim to promote regulatory ecosystem services to sustain crop production in conventional cropping systems. However, ... -
Landscape and habitat filters jointly drive richness and abundance ofspecialist plants in terrestrial grassland islands
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Land use changes have resulted in the loss and isolation of semi-natural habitats worldwide. In intensively used agricultural landscapes the remnants of natural flora only persist in small habitat islands embedded in a ... -
Potential for restoration of temperate deciduous forest by thinning of mixed forests on abandoned agricultural land
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The highest pressure biomes globally include the temperate deciduous forests (TDFs) of Europe (1). This biome has declined mainly due to agricultural land-use (2), and only small and isolated remnants exist today. Conservation ... -
Land use changes could modify future negative effects of climate change on old-growth forest indicator species
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Climate change is expected to have major impacts on terrestrial biodiversity at all ecosystem levels, including reductions in species-level distribution and abundance. We aim to test the extent to which land use management, ... -
Alien plants and recipient habitats in the Mediterranean Basin: How similar they are?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Biological invasions have become one of the most critical issues related to global change. The aim of this work was to investigate alien plant species invasion levels in different habitats and alien species traits by ... -
Self-evaluation and Declaration of ICCAs in Spain: a Community-led Peer-review Process
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)ICCAs is a term widely used to indicate areas and territories conserved by local communities and indigenous peoples, for example, by the IUCN, the Convention on Biological Diversity or United Nations. The ICCA Registry, a ... -
Conserving biodiversity in agricultural landscapes: a win-win for farmer and wildlife?
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Although agriculture depends critically on biodiversity-based ecosystem services such as insect pollination, conservation of biodiversity in agricultural landscapes has seen little uptake by the agricultural sector. We ... -
The shift from Scots pine to Norway spruce in southern Swedish forestry: consequences for biodiversity
(Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The specific management prescriptions used in production forest stands have direct implications for the biodiversity these managed lands support. A key management prescription in intensively managed production forests is ...
