The emergence ...
    • Evaluation of Sexual Behavior in Laboratory vs Seminatural Conditions 

      Chu, Xi; Ågmo, Anders j (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-05-17)
      Sexual behavior is, by necessity, sexually dimorphic. Males transfer sperm to females, whereas females receive sperm from males. Discussions of sex differences in copulatory behavior are consequently trivial. However, the behaviors associated with copulation, for example mate choice or postcopulatory reactions, may well be similar in males and females. Such differences, even subtle, are far easier ...

    • Resilienssin ulottuvuudet [The dimensions of resilience; in Finnish] 

      Pursiainen, Christer Henrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-22)
      Resilienssi on aikamme iskusanoja. Termillä on pitkät perinteet, mutta vasta 2010-luvulla se nousi suureen suosioon. Resilienssiä tutkitaan usean tieteenalan piirissä, ja termillä on lukuisia käytännöllisiä sovellusaloja. Tämä on johtanut siihen, että ei ole yksiselitteistä, mitä resilienssi milloinkin tarkoittaa. Termin kääntäminen kansallisille kielille, useimmiten tavoittamatta sen moninaisuutta, ...
