1. Characterization and persistence of potential human pathogenic vibrios in aquatic environments
Sammanfattning : Vibrio spp., natural inhabitants of aquatic environments, are one of the most common causes of bacterial gastroenteritis in the world, being spread to humans via the ingestion of seafood, contaminated drinking water or exposure to seawater. The majority of Vibrio spp. are avirulent, but certain strains may sporadically be human pathogenic. LÄS MER

3. Phenotypic and genetic adaptations to a new host plant : Ecological divergence of a specialist insect
Sammanfattning : Divergent ecological adaptation resulting from selection is common, but how often it results in differentiation that can last in the face of gene flow is debated. Reproductive barriers persistent to stochastic environmental change are key for species to form. LÄS MER
4. Living on the edge : effectiveness of buffer strips in protecting biodiversity on boreal riparian forests
Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the ecological consequences of buffer strip retention on riparian and terrestrial biodiversity. Earlier studies on forest buffer strips have evaluated their effectiveness in relation to water quality and aquatic biota. However, forests along streams are species rich habitats for many organism groups. LÄS MER
5. Antibiotic Resistance and Fitness of Escherichia coli in the Infantile Commensal Microbiota
Sammanfattning : Microbial resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem worldwide. Resistance develops not only in microbes which are the targets of the antibiotic treatment, but also in those belonging to the normal microbiota of the treated host. Little is known on the ecological consequences of antibiotic resistance in commensal bacteria. LÄS MER
