  2. 1. Spatial vision in diverse invertebrates

    Author : John Kirwan; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vision; visual ecology; invertebrates; spatial resolution; behaviour;

    Abstract : Light-detection provides incomparabaly rapid information at a range of time scales and, consequently, directional photoreception is found in almost every major metazoan clade. Conversely, a much smaller cohort have evolved sophisticated high resolution vision, which facillitates complex tasks via the detection of fast or small objects,. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sub-lethal Effects of Anthropogenic Contaminants on Aquatic Invertebrates

    Author : Warren Kunce; Frank Johansson; Jan Örberg; Sarah Josefsson; Jes Rasmussen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : ecotoxicology; sub-lethal; behavior; biomarkers; thermal tolerance; pesticides; pyrethroids; neonicotinoids; pharmaceuticals; antihistamines; microplastics; mixtures; freshwater; invertebrates; chironomids; damselflies; snails; Biology with specialization in Animal Conservation; Biologi med inriktning mot zoologisk bevarandebiologi;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic contaminants are considered to play a substantial role in the decline of freshwater invertebrate diversity. Sub-lethal effects of many of these contaminants on behaviour and life-history traits of aquatic invertebrates may contribute to their decline. READ MORE

  5. 3. Immunotoxicology in Marine Invertebrates - Effects of Manganese on Immune Response

    Author : Åsa Enefalk; Eva Bergman; Siân Griffiths; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; brown trout; juvenile; stream; woody debris; invertebrates; fine woody debris; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : In boreal forest streams, woody debris is an important habitat component. Stream invertebrates and salmonids such as brown trout benefit from in-stream wood. READ MORE

  7. 5. Aquatic organisms on the pill - effects on different organizational levels

    Author : Per Hallgren; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; EDC; EE2; 17α-ethinylestradiol; fish; zooplankton; gastropods; population growth rates; direct and indirect effects; somatic growth; invertebrates;

    Abstract : Communities are composed of organisms that interact with each other and with the non-biological environment. There are also anthropogenic pollutants in the environment that also interact with the organisms. READ MORE
