  2. 1. Fish foraging under visual constraints

    Author : Mikael Jönsson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; planktivore.; piscivore; brownification; visual foraging; Turbidity;

    Abstract : Visual conditions are changing in several different ways. Some lakes are getting turbid due to eutrophication or erosion while others are getting browner due to brownification. These two types of visual degradation results in completely different optical properties of lakes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Fingerprints of planktivory : paleolimnological evidence of past fish community structure and dynamics

    Author : Emma Åhlén; Marko Reinikainen; Tom Korsman; Pär Byström; Timo Kairesalo; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; planktivory; foraging efficiency; cladoceran remains; Bosmina; planktivore community capacity; PCC; Ceriodaphnia; reserrection; zooekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : Planktivorous fish affect the species composition, size and morphology of their zooplankton prey by size selective predation. Remains of cladocerans are deposited in the lake sediments and this microfossil community hence reflects the historical changes in the planktivore fish community. READ MORE
