  1. 6. Introduced and indigenous macroalgae : Ecological effects, functions and regulating factors in tropical seascapes

    Författare :Maria Eggertsen; Christina Halling; Charlotte Berkström; Johan Eklöf; Jennifer Smith; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; macroalgae; introduced species; coral-algae interactions; nursery habitats; herbivory; Eucheuma denticulatum; tropical seascape; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Tropical marine shallow-water areas are highly productive systems that promote important ecological functions and biodiversity. Stressors on these systems are intensifying due to increasing anthropogenic disturbances on multiple scales. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Nesting and migration in the introduced Canada goose in Sweden

    Författare :Göran Sjöberg; Catherine M. Lessells; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Species introductions; DNA fingerprinting; natal dispersal; breeding dispersal; bird migration; wintering areas; clutch size; laying date; body reserves; nest defence; waterfowl; Canada goose; Anatidae; Branta canadensis;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis was to document patterns in breeding and migration in Swedish Canada geese Branta canadensis, to explain these against the genetic and historical background of the population, and to test predictions of hypotheses pertaining to parental investment.The Canada goose population in Sweden was founded by the introduction of a few individuals in the 1930's.

  4. 8. Surface reactions on metallic nanoparticles : Ligand adsorption, metal release, and reactive oxygen species generation

    Författare :Amanda Kessler; Inger Odnevall; Tommy Nylander; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; metallic nanoparticles; ROS; reactive oxygen species; metal release; ligand adsorption; corrosion; Fenton like Haber Weiss reactions; metalliska nanopartiklar; ROS; reaktiva syreradikaler; metallfrisättning; adsorption; korrosion; Fenton lika Haber Weiss reaktioner; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Humans are exposed daily to metallic nanoparticles (Me NPs) from multiple sources which can have both natural and anthropogenic origins. Such exposures take place via different routes including inhalation and skin contact and may result in adverse health effects. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Marine Seaweed Invasions : the Ecology of Introduced Fucus evanescens

    Författare :Sofia A. Wikström; Lena Kautsky; Ove Eriksson; Paul Lavery; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biological invasions; marine; seaweed; algae; herbivory; enemy release hypothesis; phlorotannins; anti-fouling; Fucus evanescens; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Biological invasions are an important issue of global change and an increased understanding of invasion processes is of crucial importance for both conservation managers and international trade. In this thesis, I have studied the invasion of the brown seaweed Fucus evanescens, to investigate the fate and effect of a perennial, habitat-forming seaweed introduced to a coastal ecosystem.
