1. 1. Factors controlling pelagic communities of freshwater ciliates and heliozoans

   Författare :Ulrika Stensdotter-Blomberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; ciliates; heliozoans; freshwater; nutrients; predation; microbial food web; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; limnologi; Limnology;

   Sammanfattning : Ciliate diversity and seasonal succession were studied during two years in oligotrophic,acidic Lake Njupfatet. Maximum ciliate abundance occurred shortly after ice-out. After thefirst year, the lake was neutralised by liming. Liming caused changes in the bacterioplanktonand phytoplankton communities, but no change in ciliate diversity. LÄS MER

3. 2. Pelagic microorganisms in the northern Baltic Sea : Ecology, diversity and food web dynamics

   Författare :Johnny Berglund; Agneta Andersson; Ramon Massana; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resource limitation; predation limitation; microbial food web; heterotrophic microorganisms; nanoflagellates; ciliates; protists; resource heterogeneity; chrysomonads; chrysophytes; group-specific PCR-DGGE primers; Baltic Sea; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi;

   Sammanfattning : Heterotrophic microorganisms are important for the flow of carbon and nutrients in the sea. Bacteria, nanoflagellates and ciliates are relevant components of the pelagic food web. In order to be able to predict the outcome of e.g. LÄS MER

4. 3. Mechanisms structuring the pelagic microbial food web : Importance of resource and predation

   Författare :Kristina Samuelsson; Agneta Andersson; Christiane Lancelot; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; pelagic microbial food web; bacteria; flagellates; ciliates; phytoplankton; mixotrophy; nutrient status; predation limitation; resource limitation; Baltic Sea; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

   Sammanfattning : Temporal and spatial variations of pelagic microorganisms in the northern Baltic Sea were studied, as well as factors influencing their abundance and growth rates. Three main questions were asked 1) How does increased productivity influence the structure of the microbial food web? 2) Does predation limitation vary between trophic levels? 3) What is the relative importance of resource and predation limitation at different trophic levels?A field study in the northern Baltic Sea showed that dominating protozoa, flagellates and ciliates, increased with increasing primary productivity from north to south.

7. 5. Effects of contaminant mixtures on marine zooplankton diversity and function

   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; zooplankton; copepods; ciliates; dinoflagellates; mixture toxicity; chemical mixtures; marine contaminants; biodiversity; reproduction; ULSFO; closed-loop scrubbers; exhaust gas cleaning systems;

   Sammanfattning : Chemicals have important roles in our society and can be used as ingredients in personal care products, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, as well as be components of fuels used in cars or ships. More than 350 000 chemicals and mixtures have been registered for use, which only covers a part of all the chemicals that we may come into contact with. LÄS MER
