1. Settlement of bivalve larvae : the role of larval behavior, predation and hydrodynamics
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. Bivalve shells as environmental archives
Sammanfattning : Bivalves can be used as environmental biomonitors by studying the growth rate and the structure of their shells, as well as by analysing elemental distribution in the shells. Information about water chemistry, temperature and pH, about precipitation, food supply and other environmental parameters are stored in the bivalve shells. LÄS MER
3. Uptake and fate of pathogenic microbes in the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis
Sammanfattning : Bivalves, like the blue mussel Mytilus edulis, are filter-feeders and can therefore accumulate high numbers of microbes from the surrounding water. These shellfish are considered the main risk for bringing pathogens from domestic outlets in the sea, back to the community. LÄS MER
4. Systematics and assessment of the chemosynthetic bivalve family Vesicomyidae
Sammanfattning : The deep ocean has fascinated researchers for centuries with discoveries of new ecosystems and species, yet there are still many biogeographic and evolutionary questions unanswered. Along active and passive tectonic margins, specialized ecologies thrive in a symbiosis between chemosynthesizing bacteria and their host animals. LÄS MER
5. Predatory processes in Baltic benthos
Sammanfattning : The Baltic soft-bottom community is uniquely simple, with only a few benthic macro-faunal species, and is therefore well suited for mechanistic studies of inter-specific interactions. Two of the dominating organisms in this benthic community are the amphipod Monoporeia affinis and the bivalve Macoma balthica. Field surveys have shown that M. LÄS MER
