  1. 1. Coping with environmental change : Lessons from isotope studies in a sentinel species

    Författare :Matias Ledesma; Agnes Karlson; Marleen De Troch; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stable isotope; compound-specific nitrogen stable isotope analysis; trophic niche; harmful algae blooms; contaminants; stress; reproductive success; environmental change; Baltic Sea; marin ekologi; Marine Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Adaptive evolution and phenotypic plasticity are two key mechanisms by which natural populations avoid extinction in the face of environmental change. Evolutionary young systems, such as the Baltic Sea with low species diversity and steep environmental gradients, are good models for studying how wild populations cope with environmental changes, such as climate-induced alterations in food supply and exposure to environmental contaminants.

  3. 2. Species interactions and energy transfer in aquatic food webs

    Författare :Jens Munk Nielsen; Monika Winder; Sture Hansson; Michael T. Brett; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Aquatic food webs; zooplankton; stable isotope analysis amino acids; molecular diet analysis; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Food webs are structured by intricate nodes of species interactions which govern the flow of organic matter in natural systems. Despite being long recognized as a key component in ecology, estimation of food web functioning is still challenging due to the difficulty in accurately measuring species interactions within a food web.

  4. 3. Responses of benthic-pelagic coupling to environmental change

    Författare :Per Hedberg; Monika Winder; Martin Kainz; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Benthic-pelagic coupling; Stable isotopes; Fatty acids; Baltic Sea; Plankton; Food webs; Benthos; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Changing abiotic factors, like temperature and light are important drivers of seasonality, affecting aquatic ecosystems and organisms annually in a predictable pattern, structuring species composition, growth, reproduction and trophic interactions. As a consequence of human induced climate change, coastal ecosystems are seeing a disruption in the predictability of annual cycles. LÄS MER
