  1. 1. Climate-induced changes : Its effects on plankton food webs from the Baltic Sea

    Författare :Claudia Romero-Oliva; Edna Graneli; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate-induced changes; temperature; acidification; marine food web; natural plankton community; spring; summer; Baltic Sea; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; Akvatisk ekologi; Aquatic Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : The Earth’s climate is determined different processes occurring in the atmosphere, land and ocean.Anthropogenic activities (mainly combustion of fossil fuels) have increased since the 1950’s, andthus the concentration of greenhouse gases that are warming up the planet. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Cascading extinctions in food webs : local and regional processes

    Författare :Anna Eklöf; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cascading extinctions; complexity; connectance; dispersal; food web; local dynamics; regional dynamics; resistance; spatial structure; species loss;

    Sammanfattning : Ecological communities all over the world are loosing biodiversity due to different kinds of human activities and there is an urgent need of understanding how those losses affect the function of the ecosystems on which we all depend. The community's response to species losses is likely to depend on both the structure of the local community as well as its interactions with surrounding communities. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Baltic Sea food web dynamics and response to environmental change

    Författare :Susa Niiranen; Thorsten Blenckner; Olle Hjerne; Magnus Huss; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; food web; modelling; Ecopath with Ecosim; model uncertainty; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : The Baltic Sea ecosystem is subject to a combination of external pressures such as fishery, changing climate and land-based nutrient inputs. In combination with internal food web mechanisms these external forces can lead to changes in the food web structure and function. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Thiamin (vitamin B1) in the aquatic food web

    Författare :Emil Fridolfsson; Samuel Hylander; Michael T. Brett; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phytoplankton; zooplankton; thiamin; transfer; food web dynamics; micronutrient; vitamin; Baltic Sea; community composition; M74; salmon; B1; växtplankton; djurplankton; tiamin; överföring; födoväv; mikronäringsämne; vitamin; Östersjön; B1; lax; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Thiamin (vitamin B1) is required for several life-sustaining processes in most organisms and cells, e.g. in the conversion of food to energy. It also serves as an antioxidant and is important for proper nerve signaling. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Food Webs, Models and Species Extinctions in a Stochastic Environment

    Författare :Patrik Karlsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ekologi; Ecology; functional redundancy; trophospecies; species aggregation; environmental stochasticity; interaction strength; spectral colour; food web structure; food webs; extinction risk;

    Sammanfattning : In light of the current global mass extinction of species, ecologists are facing great challenges. In order to reverse the path towards additional extinctions early warning systems to guide management actions need to be developed. LÄS MER
