  1. 21. Effects of warming on the ecology of algal-dominated phytobenthic communities in the Baltic Sea

    Författare :Filip Svensson; Pauline Snoeijs; Johan Eklöf; Hans Kautsky; Nils Ekelund; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climate change; warming; photosynthesis; trophic cascades; pigments; community traits; temperature gradient; invasive mussel; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Through climate change, the global average air and surface water temperature has risen 0.85°C during the last 100 years. The Baltic Sea experienced one of the most rapid increase in temperature recorded of marine ecosystems. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Microbenthos under Pressure : Impacts of human activities on bacteria and meiofauna communities in Baltic soft sediments

    Författare :Sven Iburg; Francisco J. A. Nascimento; Owen Wangensteen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; soft sediments; benthic ecosystems; anthropogenic disturbance; contamination; recreational boating; bottom trawling; meiofauna; bacteria; metabarcoding; Baltic Sea; mjuka sediment; bentiska ekosystem; antropogenisk påverkan; förorening; fritidsbåtar; bottentrålning; meiofauna; bakterier; metabarcoding; Östersjön; marin ekologi; Marine Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : The marine benthic zone is one of the largest habitats on the planet, harbouring a large diversity of life that underpin many important ecological processes. However, these habitats have been under growing stress from human activities, profoundly altering their living communities. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Ecology of zooplankton communities: climate, dormancy, and benthic-pelagic coupling

    Författare :Mikael Gyllström; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Marinbiologi; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi; limnology; Hydrobiology; marine biology; aquatic ecology; phytoplankton; temporal stability; recruitment; seasonal succession; environmental cues; diapause; shallow lakes; predation; enrichment; climate; temperature;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes how influences, such as top down and bottom up forces, shape zooplankton communities in shallow lakes. I have also extended the traditional food-web theory by investigating the effects of climate on total biomass, taxonomic composition, and temporal properties of zooplankton communities. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Assessing Sub-Lethal Impacts of Petroleum Compounds on Marine Benthic Systems

    Författare :Fredrik Lindgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; subletala effekter; mikrobiellt samhälle; meiofauna; petroleum; PAH; bildanalys;

    Sammanfattning : Petroleum and its different distillates commonly end up in the marine environment. One source of these additions is discharges originating from shipping activities; accidents, ship wrecks, operational spills etc. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Nutrient Stoichiometry in Benthic Food Webs – Interactions Between Algae, Herbivores and Fish

    Författare :Antonia Liess; Peter Eklöv; Dag Hessen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Ecology; ecologial stoichiometry; periphyton; grazer; benthos; trophic interactions; nutrient; algae; Ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to identify general structuring mechanisms in benthic food webs within the framework of ecological stoichiometry theory. Ecological stoichiometry is defined as the balance of multiple chemical substances in ecological interactions and explicitly considers the combined dynamics of key elements such as carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).
