  1. 21. Post-Glacial History of Sea-Level and Environmental Change in the Southern Baltic Sea

    Författare :Marloes Kortekaas; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; kartografi; klimatologi; Geofysik; fysisk oceanografi; physical oceanography; meteorology; Sedimentologi; Stratigrafi; Stratigraphy; Baltic Sea; geokemi; Petrologi; mineralogi; geochemistry; mineralogy; Petrology; greigite; mineral magnetics; sea-level changes; Holocene; Littorina transgression; geomorphology; pedology; cartography; climatology; meteorologi; Geophysics; Sedimentology; Optically Stimulated Luminescence OSL ; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; marklära; Physical geography;

    Sammanfattning : A new palaeoenvironmental record of the post-glacial history of the southern Baltic Sea (~14 ka to present) is presented. During this period, large water level and salinity changes occurred in the Baltic Basin due to opening and closing of connections to the North Atlantic. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Mineralisation rates of natural organic matter in surface sediments affected by physical forces

    Författare :Carina Ståhlberg; Bo Svensson; Lars Rahm; David Bastviken; Anders Tengberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sediment; Organic matter mineralisation; Organic matter degradation; Redox; Electron acceptor; Resuspension; Advective pore water flow; Other chemistry; Övrig kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Nedbrytning av organiskt material är en nyckelfaktor som påverkar omvandlingar av de många grundämnen som utgör eller är associerade till just organiskt material. En stor del av nedbrytningen av akvatiskt organiskt material (OM) sker i gränsskiktet mellan sediment och vatten. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Evolution of streamlined genomes in ultra-small aquatic bacteria

    Författare :Weizhou Zhao; Siv Andersson; Sandra L. Baldauf; Sarahi L Garcia; Karen Lloyd; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; streamlined genome; aquatic bacteria; single cell genomics; metagenomics; evolutionary genomics; salinity; Baltic Sea; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the evolutionary processes of streamlined genomes from aquatic bacteria adapting to different salinities, using two groups of ultra-small aquatic bacteria (LD12 Alphaproteobacteria and acI Actinobacteria). Due to difficulties in obtaining pure cultures of these bacteria, culture-free approaches (single-cell genomics and metagenomics) were used to construct and compare genomes, and to study the mechanisms and selective forces of adaptation to freshwater, brackish, and marine ecosystems.

  5. 24. Reproductive traits in euryhaline gobies: insights into physiology, adaptations and biological invasions

    Författare :Leon Green; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sperm; Reproduction; Life-history Strategies; Local Adaptation; Fish; Invasion Biology; Salinity;

    Sammanfattning : Organisms are adapted to reproduce in their specific environment by a range of different traits. For many animals, reproduction is tied to specific conditions, that trigger or enable the reproductive events. This thesis deals with traits associated with reproduction, their functions and interactions with the environment. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Migratory behaviour of Baltic salmon (Salmo salar L.) : adaptive significance of annual cycles

    Författare :Torleif Eriksson; Lars-Ove Eriksson; Kees Groot; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Migratory behaviour; annual cycles; Baltic salmon; Salmo salar; annual time program; swimming behaviour; mortality; maturity; life history;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis evaluates the adaptive significance of annual cycles on the migratory behaviour of Baltic salmon (Salmo salar L.). The studies have included field experiments as well as laboratory studies gf maturity and migratory behaviour patterns of smolts and postsmolts mainly from the Angerman river population. LÄS MER
