Plant biodiversity in boreal wood-pastures : impacts of grazing and abandonment

2016

Sammalkynä

2022

Tämä kirjoitus on saanut alkusysäyksen omista luontokokemuksista ja luontokokemusten keskuudessa virinneistä filosofisista pohdinnoista, joihin toisten kirjoittajien ja ajattelijoiden filosofiset, antropologiset ja ekopsykologiset näkökulmat ovat härmistyneet. Kirjoitus alkaa ja saa inspiraationsa soisella järvellä kohtaamastani perhosesta. Etenen lukutaidon ja koulumaailman sekä teknologisen subjektin kautta kohti jotain esikäsitteellistä metsäläisyydeksi kutsumaani elämisen maisemaa. Pohdin tiedon ja oppimisen suuntia sekä erilaisia tietämisen tapoja. Luonnostelen kirjoituksessa esiin jonkinlaista kokemuksellista ja metsäläistä tutkimusmatkailijuutta.

The maintenance of sexually antagonistic variation in reproductive success by negative frequency-dependence in the bank vole (Myodes glareolus)

2011

Natural selection theory predicts low variance in traits closely related to reproductive success, since the most fit trait value should replace all the others. However, a considerable amount of variation is found in life-history traits throughout the animal kingdom. The most widely accepted mechanism maintaining this variation is a balance between mutation and selection; however, observed variance is higher than predicted by mutation – selection balance alone and thus additional processes must be involved. One possible mechanism which has only recently started to gain attention is intralocus sexual conflict, where the optima of fitness related traits are sex dependent. This leads to sexuall…

Cost of reproduction and offspring quality in the evolution of reproductive effort

2002

Any organism has a limited amount of resources, which have to be partitioned among several activities such as maintenance, growth and reproduction. Reproductive effort is defined as the proportion of parental resources devoted to fecundity and offspring survival. The extent of reproductive effort is restricted by trade-offs that cancel out the advantages of increasing investment in reproduction. This thesis presents an investigation into the determinants of reproductive effort in the bank vole, Clethrionomys glareolus, focusing mainly on two major life history trade-offs i.e. cost of reproduction and trade-off between offspring number and quality. Insights into other potentially important p…

2023

R-code and data for replicating statistical analyses used in the study: Increasing human environmental footprint does not lead to biotic homogenization of forest bird communities in northern USA. This study examined how forest loss and increased human domination in the state of Minnesota in the USA were associated with diversity of forest birds using bird count data.

Improving Economic Management Decisions in Forestry with the SorSim Assortment Model

2020

The sustainable supply of timber is one of the most important forest ecosystem services and a decisive factor determining the long-term profitability of forest enterprises. If timber production is to be economically viable, there must always be a way to analyse forest stands and trees felled for exploitation with regard to the wood assortments they contain. Only then can the expected timber yields, achieved by various silvicultural strategies or actions and different sorting options, be quantified with sufficient accuracy. The SorSim assortment simulator was developed for forest practitioners and forest scientists in Switzerland to realistically simulate the sorting of individual trees and …
