    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mixotrophy; grazing; allelopathic interactions; allelopathy; algae; phytoplankton; nutrient limitation; toxicity; Toxic haptophytes; fishkilling phytoplankton; Hydrobiology; marine biology; aquatic ecology; limnology; Marinbiologi; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi;

    Abstract : The influence of different nutrient conditions on the production of toxins was studied in certain fishkilling haptophytes (e.g. Prymnesium parvum and Chrysochromulina polylepis). READ MORE

  5. 3. Phytoplankton response to a changing climate in lakes in northern Sweden

    Author : Jennie Sandström; Nils Ekelund; Hugo von Zeipel; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; cyanobacteria; ice break-up; oligotrophic lakes; phytoplankton; temperature;

    Abstract : In a climate change perspective, increased air temperatures are already a reality and are expected to increase even more in the future, especially in areas at high latitudes. The present thesis therefore addresses the influence of climate change on the physical properties and the phytoplankton communities of typical small and oligotrophic lakes in northern Sweden (62-64˚N).

  6. 4. Effects of toxin-producing phytoplankton on copepods: feeding, reproduction and implications to the fate of toxins

    Author : Betina Kozlowsky-Suzuki; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Ekologi; GSH transferase; oocyte development; fate of toxins; toxin accumulation; toxic phytoplankton; copepods;

    Abstract : Phytoplankton growth and loss rates are governed by several factors and in many cases, when growth control fails, algal blooms are established. Such blooms can be formed by different phytoplankton species and some of them have harmful impacts on marine ecosystems. READ MORE

  7. 5. Baltic Sea phytoplankton in a changing environment

    Author : Mireia Bertos-Fortis; Catherine Legrand; Ilana Berman-Frank; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; phytoplankton ecology; cyanobacteria; dynamics; environmental factors; successional patterns; interactions; life strategies; non-ribosomal peptides; diversity; nodularin; N. spumigena; Akvatisk ekologi; Aquatic Ecology;

    Abstract : Future climate scenarios in the Baltic Sea project increasing sea surface temperature, as well as increasing precipitation and river runoff resulting in decreased salinity. These changes can severely impact the dynamics and function of brackish water communities, specifically phytoplankton. READ MORE
