  1. 1. Phytoplankton defense mechanisms against grazing : the role of grazing infochemicals

    Författare :Veronica Lundgren; Edna Granéli; Takeshi Yasumoto; Aaron Barkoh; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Akvatisk ekologi; Aquatic Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Many phytoplankton species have evolved a variety of different defenses to decrease losses from grazing; morphological features, changes in life-history/behavior, and production of toxins. These defenses may be associated with costs. Therefore, some phytoplankton only express the defense when needed, i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Plant Population Dynamics and Biotic Interactions in two Forest Herbs

    Författare :Christel Gustafsson; Martin Zobel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Sanicula europaea; Dentaria bulbifera; Cost of reproduction; grazing; competition; dispersal limitation; patch suitability; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

    Sammanfattning : In Sweden today, deciduous woodlands are often restricted to small isolated remnants of what it once was. Managing practices have changed concerning both cattle grazing and logging. Thus, dispersal, habitat requirements and their importance for forest species distributions become a relevant issue.

  5. 4. Submerged macrophytes in shallow eutrophic lakes - regulating factors and ecosystem effects

    Författare :John A Strand; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; marine biology; Hydrobiology; plasticity; seed banks; periphyton; grazing; alternative stable state; aquatic ecology; limnology; Marinbiologi; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis I have studied factors that regulate submerged macrophyte abundance, morphology and distribution in shallow eutrophic lakes, and how submerged macrophytes may affect the ecosystem. Light attenuation through the water column (turbidity and water depth) is probably not the most important factor regulating the distribution of submerged vegetation in macrophyte dominated shallow eutrophic lakes, e.

  7. 5. Structuring factors for macroinvertebrate communities and the importance for ecosystem processing

    Författare :Pia Hertonsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ephemeroptera; competition; Predation risk; brownification; invasive sp.; decomposition; grazing; growth; gastropoda; mortality; amphipoda; isopoda;

    Sammanfattning : Aquatic macroinvertebrates play important roles in our ecosystems and are essential for the ecosystem processing. An improved knowledge of structuring factors, such as competition and predation, and the way in which they operates in the macroinvertebrate community is crucial for our understanding of not only the macroinvertebrates but also the ecosystem in general.
