Kirjojen lukeminen herättää mielipiteitä ja tunteita sekä on myös moraalisesti latautunut aihe. Väitöstutkimuksesta selviää, miten kirjoja lukevat tarkastelevat omaa toimintaansa.  📖 🔍

Tutkimukseen osallistuneille lukeminen on tärkeää ja mieluisaa mutta ei suinkaan aina helppoa ja ristiriidatonta.
Lukemisen normeja voi rikkoa | Helsingin yliopisto
Tuore tutkimus valottaa lukijuuden kokemuksen yksilöllisyyttä ja moninaisuutta sekä myös verrattain aktiivisesti lukevien aikuisten lukemiseen liittyviä haasteita ja ristiriitoja.

Kumpi vaikuttaa pikkulintujen kannanvaihteluihin enemmän, aikuisten lintujen selviytyminen talven yli vai menestys pesimäseuduilla?

Kansainvälinen, laajuudessaan ainutlaatuinen tutkimus käsittää 33 lintulajin ja yli 1,2 miljoonan linnun rengastusaineiston yhdestätoista Euroopasta maasta.
Aikuisten lintujen hengissä säilyminen vaikuttaa pikkulintujen runsauteen enemmän kuin lisääntymismenestys | Helsingin yliopisto
Tutkimus osoittaa, että Euroopan varpuslinnuilla selviytymisellä talven yli on suurempi rooli lintujen kannanvaihteluissa kuin lisääntymisellä pesimäseudulla.
