  1. 6. Ecological connectivity in East African seascapes

    Författare :Charlotte Berkström; Nils Kautsky; Susan S. Bell; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fish; functional group; food-web interactions; nursery; coral; seagrass; mangrove; landscape ecology; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Sammanfattning : Coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangroves constitute a complex mosaic of habitats referred to as the tropical seascape. Great gaps exist in the knowledge of how these systems are interconnected. This thesis sets out to examine ecological connectivity, i.e. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :renewable energy; biodiversity; wave power; wind power; disturbance; fish; fouling organisms; artificial reefs; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Several Western European countries are planning for a massive offshore renewable energy (i.e. wind and wave energy) development (ORED) along the European Atlantic coast and in the Baltic Sea. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Environmental Impact from Wave Energy Converters : Underwater Noise

    Författare :Kalle Haikonen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Wave energy conversion is a potentially clean and sustainable form ofenergy conversion with no emissions of gases or liquids during operation.There are other environmental issues that need to be taken in consideration.The deployment of a wave power farm will contribute with new surface formarine organisms to colonize.

  5. 9. Ecotoxicological studies on giant clams (Tridacnidae) : Environmental problems and future concerns

    Författare :Eva Blidberg; Michael Tedengren; David Klumpp; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; giant clam; larval; physiology; zooxanthellae; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Giant clams (Tridacnidae; Bivalvia) are described as important framework builders on coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific region. They are phototrophic as they are associated with primary producing zooxanthellae. Populations are low due to over-exploitation and most species are now endangered in many areas. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Effects of community- and government-managed marine protected areas on tropical seagrass and coral communities

    Författare :Angelica Chirico; Johan Eklöf; Nils Kautsky; Even Moland; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; coastal ecosystems; conservation; marine spatial planning; locally managed; fisheries closure; benthic communities; fish; foundation species; macroalgae; secondary succession; life-history; trait variability; plasticity; tourism; human disturbance; fishing; experimental research; Western Indian Ocean; causal modelling; structural equation model; permanova; multivariate data; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Sammanfattning : Tropical seagrass beds and coral reefs are among the most productive and diverse ecosystems on Earth and provide ecosystem services, such as fish production and coastal protection, and support livelihoods of millions of people. At the same time, these ecosystems are threatened globally by anthropogenic disturbances, such as overfishing, pollution and global warming. LÄS MER
