Dec 7, 2023 (posted viaProZ.com): A huge environmental impact evaluation from Swedish into Finnish. As a lifelong learner I really enjoy everything I learn from these! All the nitty-gritty and the cumulative effects of little things you don't normally even think about. I have a huge respect for the scientists and consultants who do all the fieldwork and put these reports together!...more, + 13 other entries »
English to Finnish: An example translation of academic text from English to Finnish General field: Science Detailed field: Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
Source text - English Oriented behaviour is present in almost all animals, indicating that it is an ancient feature that has emerged from animal brains hundreds of millions of years ago.
Although many complex navigation strategies have been described, each strategy can be broken down into a series of elementary navigational decisions.
In each moment in time, an animal has to compare its current heading with its desired direction and compensate for any mismatch by producing a steering response either to the right or to the left.
Different from reflex-driven movements, target-directed navigation is not only initiated in response to sensory input, but also takes into account previous experience and motivational state.
Once a series of elementary decisions are chained together to form one of many coherent navigation strategies, the animal can pursue a navigational target, e.g. a food source, a nest entrance or a constant flight direction during migrations.
Insects show a great variety of complex navigation behaviours and, owing to their small brains, the pursuit of the neural circuits controlling navigation has made substantial progress over the last years.
A brain region as ancient as insects themselves, called the central complex, has emerged as the likely navigation centre of the brain.
Research across many species has shown that the central complex contains the circuitry that might comprise the neural substrate of elementary navigational decisions.
Although this region is also involved in a wide range of other functions, we hypothesize in this Review that its role in mediating the animal’s next move during target-directed behaviour is its ancestral function, around which other functions have been layered over the course of evolution.
Translation - Finnish Suunnistuskäyttäytymistä tavataan lähes kaikilla eläimillä, mistä syystä sen ajatellaan olevan satoja miljoonia vuosia sitten eläinten aivoissa kehittynyt muinainen ilmiö.
Vaikka monimutkaisia suunnistusstrategioita on kuvailtu useita, kukin strategia voidaan jakaa sarjaksi alkeellisia suunnistuspäätöksiä.
Kullakin ajanhetkellä eläimen on verrattava senhetkistä kulkusuuntaansa tavoitesuuntaansa ja kompensoitava suuntien erotusta tuottamalla ohjausliike joko oikeaan tai vasempaan.
Erona refleksipohjaisiin liikkeisiin kohteeseen suuntautuva navigaatio ei ole vain vaste aistiärsykkeeseen, vaan ottaa myös huomioon aiemman kokemuksen sekä motivaatiotilan.
Kun sarja alkeispäätöksiä on ketjutettu yhteen yhdeksi monista yhtenäisistä suunnistusstrategioista, voi eläin tavoitella päämääräänsä, kuten ravinnonlähdettä, pesän sisäänkäyntiä tai vakaata lentosuuntaa muuttomatkalla.
Monimutkaisen suunnistuskäyttäytymisen kirjo hyönteisillä on suuri, ja niiden pienten aivojen ansiosta suunnistusta ohjaavien hermopiirien tutkimus on edennyt merkittävästi viime vuosina.
Keskuskompleksi, aivoalue joka on yhtä muinainen kuin hyönteiset itse, on noussut aivojen todennäköisimmäksi suunnistuskeskukseksi.
Useita lajeja kattava tutkimus on osoittanut keskuskompleksin sisältävän kytkentöjä, jotka voivat muodostaa alkeellisten suunnistuspäätösten hermostollisen perustan.
Vaikka tämä alue osallistuu laajalti myös muihin toimintoihin, oletamme tässä katsauksessa, että sen rooli eläimen seuraavan liikkeen välittämisessä kohteeseen suuntautuvan navigaation aikana on sen alkuperäinen tehtävä, jonka ympärille muut toiminnot ovat kerrostuneet evoluution aikana.

With a PhD in biophysics, my professional background is in biological research, specifically neurobiology/neuroscience, sensory biology, and behavioural science. I am able to read specialist texts within life sciences and convey the message to general audiences in an easily understandable way.
I am an excellent problem-solver unafraid of learning new technologies and tools. Experienced in writing, editing and reviewing manuscripts for scientific journals as well as translating and editing for various clients, I hold myself to a high standard with the quality of texts I produce.
My CAT tool is CafeTran Espresso and my subtitle editor is Aegisub. I also have some experience with Phrase TMS (formerly Memsource), Crowdin, Smartcat, and CaptionHub as well as several client-specific softwares.
