1. Sediment remediation using activated carbon: amending knowledge gaps
Sammanfattning : Many coastal sediments have accumulated large quantities of contaminants from past anthropogenic activities and now act as a secondary emission source of legacy pollutants to coastal ecosystems. New sediment remediation strategies are needed to address widespread sediment pollution. LÄS MER
2. Benthic-pelagic coupling in a changing world : Structural and functional responses of microbenthic communities to organic matter settling
Sammanfattning : Marine soft sediments form the second largest habitat on the planet. Organisms residing in this environment represent a vast reservoir of biodiversity, and play key roles in ecosystem processes. LÄS MER
3. Sex and symbionts : New discoveries in local and regional patterns of coral ecology and reproduction
Sammanfattning : Coral reefs belong to the most diverse and the most threatened ecosystems on earth. Anthropogenic stressors and climate change have led to mortalities at levels unprecedented in modern times. The aims of this thesis are to investigate aspects of the corals’ ability to reproduce, disperse, adapt and survive. LÄS MER
4. Trophic ecology of meiofauna : Response to sedimentation of phytoplankton blooms in the Baltic Sea
Sammanfattning : Marine soft sediments are the second largest habitat on Earth. How animal communities in this habitat are structured is a central issue in marine ecology. Food is an important limiting factor for many benthic populations, and settling organic matter from phytoplankton blooms is of vital importance to them. LÄS MER
5. Biology, ecology and anthropogenic threats of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins in east Africa
Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the biology, ecology and anthropogenic threats of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) off Zanzibar, Tanzania, based on research conducted and samples collected between 2000 and 2008. Distribution and occurrence are described based on incidental catches (bycatch) in gillnet fisheries. LÄS MER
