1. 1. Ontogenetic scaling and the development of within-cohort size structure

   Författare :Magnus Huss; Lennart Persson; Pär Byström; David Post; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cannibalism; competition; density-dependence; resource feedbacks; hatching; growth; ontogenetic niche shifts; Perca fluviatilis; size variation; larval fish; Freshwater ecology; Limnisk ekologi; zooekologi; Animal Ecology;

   Sammanfattning : It is increasingly recognized that individuals of the same species differ from each other and influence and respond to their environment in unique ways. This thesis deals with size variation among individuals that not only are of the same species but also of similar age. LÄS MER

3. 2. Bottom-up and top-down regulation of heterogeneous lake food webs

   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; food webs; resource coupling; ontogenetic diet shifts; resource specialization; bottom-up; top-down; browning; eutrophication; lake; mesocosms; fatty acids; apparent competition; Biology with specialization in Limnology; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi;

   Sammanfattning : Food webs are networks of organisms linked by trophic interactions that regulate the responses of ecosystems to environmental change. Such regulation is a result of the effects of resources on the abundance of their consumers (i.e. bottom-up effects) and/or the influence of consumers on the abundance of their resources (i. LÄS MER

4. 3. The role of young-of-the-year fish in lake ecosystems

   Författare :Pia Romare; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrobiology; Rutilus rutilus; Perca fluviatilis; diet-dependent growth; density dependent growth; behavioural cascade; 0 fish behaviour; horizontal echo sounding; biomanipulation; trophic cascade; predation pressure; young-of-the-year fish; trophic interactions; marine biology; aquatic ecology; limnology; Marinbiologi; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi; Ecology; Ekologi;

   Sammanfattning : Food chain theory is based on consumption; that is, presupposing that the only important interaction between organisms is that they actually meet in an unstructured environment and that one of them is consumed. Recently, studies, including biomanipulation projects, have indicated that trophic interactions are more complex than predicted by food chain theory. LÄS MER

5. 4. Baltic cod predation: mechanisms, impact on prey, implications for fisheries

   Författare :Nataliia Kulatska; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Trophic interactions are fundamental in the functioning of ecosystems. Predator-prey interactions between cod (Gadus morhua), herring (Clupea harengus) and sprat (Sprattus sprattus) in the Baltic Sea are typical examples of strong trophic interactions with consequences on the structure of this ecosystem.
