Evidence is accumulating that avian species, and particularly waterbirds, are responding to anthropogenic pressure and climate change by, inter alia, changing their distributions, both in the breeding and non-breeding season. This ongoing process raise a question about the effectiveness of the current network of protected areas delivering climate change adaptation for waterbird species at larger scale than individual countries. To improve the knowledge concerning this topic, we analysed 26 years of data on wintering waterbirds (International Waterbird Census) across 44 countries in Europe and Africa. Specifically, our goals were (1) to test if the winter abundances of 166 species have changed during the past three decades across the two most important flyways in Europe and northern Africa, (2) to study whether such long-term trends in wintering numbers differed between protected and unprotected areas (SPAs, RAMSAR) and between IBAs and non-IBAs, (3) to assess potential changes in species richness (i.e. number of species) over the study period in the northeastern, central and southwestern part of the flyways, and (4) to compare whether changes in richness is linked to the amount of protected land in each region. The results of the analyses will be discussed.

Species distribution models as a useful tool in conservation programs: the case of the Northern Bald Ibis
Chamorro, Darío; Benítez-Barrios, Isabel; Muñoz, Antonio-Román; Real, Raimundo (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita) is one of the most endangered species on the planet. Its original distribution covered from Syria and Turkey (with migrant populations) to Morocco (where the species was sedentary). ... -
Threats in protected area: Distribution and status of Western Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes verus) population in Sapo National Park, Liberia
Varney, Matthew (Open Science Centre, University of Jyväskylä, 2018)The West African chimpanzee Pan troglodytes verus, is highly threatened and the global population has dramatically declined by more than 80% over the last three generations. Sapo National Park (SNP) holds one of the largest ... -
Species distributions models may predict accurately future distributions but poorly how distributions change : A critical perspective on model validation
Piirainen, Sirke; Lehikoinen, Aleksi; Husby, Magne; Kålås, John Atle; Lindström, Åke; Ovaskainen, Otso (Wiley, 2023)Aim Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to make predictions on how species distributions may change as a response to climatic change. To assess the reliability of those predictions, they need to be critically ... -
Left-invariant distributions diffeomorphic to flat distributions
Nicolussi Golo, Sebastiano; Ottazzi, Alessandro (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2024)For a stratified group G, we construct a class of Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant distribution locally diffeomorphic to the flat distribution of G. Vice versa, we show that all Lie groups with a left-invariant ... -
Demands and Challenges : Experiences of Ethiopian Rural School Teachers
Keski-Mäenpää, Kati (CICERO Learning Network, University of Helsinki, 2014)Rural schools in Ethiopia are characterized by high drop-out rates, a lack of teaching materials, and low learning achievements. This study examines the experiences of teachers who work in such schools and emphasizes that ...
