1. 1. The role of young-of-the-year fish in lake ecosystems

   Författare :Pia Romare; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrobiology; Rutilus rutilus; Perca fluviatilis; diet-dependent growth; density dependent growth; behavioural cascade; 0 fish behaviour; horizontal echo sounding; biomanipulation; trophic cascade; predation pressure; young-of-the-year fish; trophic interactions; marine biology; aquatic ecology; limnology; Marinbiologi; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi; Ecology; Ekologi;

   Sammanfattning : Food chain theory is based on consumption; that is, presupposing that the only important interaction between organisms is that they actually meet in an unstructured environment and that one of them is consumed. Recently, studies, including biomanipulation projects, have indicated that trophic interactions are more complex than predicted by food chain theory. LÄS MER

3. 2. Simplicity within Complexity : Understanding dynamics of cellular networks by model reduction

   Författare :Olivia Eriksson; Jesper Tegnér; Arne Elofsson; Yishao Zhou; Stefan Bornholdt; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; model reduction; cellular networks; dynamical modules; delayed piecewise linear; systems biology; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Sammanfattning : Cellular networks composed of interactions between genes, proteins and metabolites, determines the behavioural repertoire of the cell. Recent developments in high-throughput experimental techniques and computational methods allow static descriptions of these networks on a genome scale. LÄS MER

4. 3. Living in a predation matrix : Studies on fish and their prey in a Baltic Sea coastal area

   Författare :Ida Ahlbeck; Sture Hansson; Hannu Lehtonen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diet analysis methods; Sander lucioperca; behaviour; rearing environment; diel vertical migration; Acartia spp.; Eurytemora affinis; Perca fluviatilis; stable isotopes; body condition; sedentarity; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis was written within the framework of a biomanipulation project where young-of-the-year (YOY) pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were stocked to a Baltic Sea bay to improve water quality through a top-down trophic cascade. The aim of my doctorial studies was however focused on a broader ecological question, namely predation (the main driving force in a biomanipulation). LÄS MER

5. 4. Conservation, personality and ecology of the European mink (Mustela lutreola)

   Författare :Marianne Haage; Bodil Elmhagen; Anders Angerbjörn; Kaarina Kauhala; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; European mink; Mustela lutreola; Conservation; Personality; Individual specialism; Diet; American mink; Neovison vison; Intraguild competition; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

   Sammanfattning : Loss of biodiversity is a growing problem and hence conservation of species is becoming increasingly important. In this dissertation conservation issues related to the critically endangered European mink (Mustela lutreola) are examined in situ (in the wild) and ex situ (in captivity) on both an individual and community level.

7. 5. Studies on antidepressant-mediated regulation of signal transduction

   Författare :Hongshi Qi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Depression affects around 16% of the population at some point in their lives and major depressive disorder is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Depression is caused by an interaction of genetic and environmental factors, but the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis are not entirely clear. LÄS MER
