  2. 1. Macroalgae in the Baltic Sea : responses to low salinity and nutrient enrichment in Ceramium and Fucus

    Author : Lena Bergström; Lars Ericson; Lena Kautsky; Erik Bonsdorff; Christine A Maggs; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; adaptation; asexual reproduction; Baltic Sea; Gulf of Bothnia; salinity; macroalgae; nutrients; sexual reproduction; stress; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; ekologisk botanik; Ecological Botany;

    Abstract : The brackish Baltic Sea is a marginal environment for both marine and freshwater species. The rate of ecological differentiation is presumably high due to strong selection pressure from a gradient of decreasing salinity that has been present in its current state for only about 3 000 years.

  4. 2. Spatial heterogeneity and biotic interactions : scaling from experiments to natural systems

    Author : Ulf Bergström; Göran Englund; Erik Bonsdorff; Sebastian Diehl; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; zooekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : Much of current ecological theory stems from experimental studies. These studies have often been conducted in closed systems, at spatial scales that are much smaller than the systems of interest. READ MORE

  5. 3. The neglected ecology of the sand goby: Abundance and feeding in the Baltic sublittoral

    Author : Sigrid Z. Ehrenberg; Ragnar Elmgren; Sture Hansson; Gunilla Ejdung; Erik Bonsdorff; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; sand goby; sublittoral; sub-thermocline; abundance; feeding; consumption; activity; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; marin ekologi; Marine Ecology;

    Abstract : I investigated the ecology and population density of the sand goby, Pomatoschistus minutus, at sub-thermocline depth in the north-western Baltic proper. Most previous research on the sand goby, and the co-occurring closely related common goby, P. READ MORE

  6. 4. Effects of morphometric isolation and vegetation on the macroinvertebrate community in shallow Baltic Sea land-uplift bays

    Author : Joakim Hansen; Lena Kautsky; Erik Bonsdorff; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lagoons; macrofauna; macrophytes; hydrophytes; charophytes; ecological succession; structural complexity; habitat complexity; habitat selection; species composition; biodiversity; stable isotopes; food web; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestrisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; Plant Ecology; växtekologi;

    Abstract : Shallow sheltered Baltic Sea bays are ecologically important habitats that harbour a unique vegetation community and constitute vital reproduction areas for many coastal fish species. Knowledge about the invertebrate community in these bays is, however, limited. READ MORE

  7. 5. The Impact of Multiple Drivers on Marine Systems : Novel approaches for studying structural changes

    Author : Johanna Yletyinen; Thorsten Blenckner; Örjan Bodin; Erik Bonsdorff; Daniel Stouffer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

    Abstract : Human action is transforming the species composition, biogeochemistry and habitats of the world’s oceans at unprecedented rates. The cumulative effect of natural and anthropogenic drivers is challenging to measure, in part due to indirect effects and the complexity of marine systems. READ MORE
