2. Benthic-pelagic coupling in a changing world : Structural and functional responses of microbenthic communities to organic matter settling
Abstract : Marine soft sediments form the second largest habitat on the planet. Organisms residing in this environment represent a vast reservoir of biodiversity, and play key roles in ecosystem processes. READ MORE

3. Studies of receptors and modulatory mechanisms in functional responses to cysteinyl-leukotrienes in smooth muscle
Abstract : Cysteinyl-leukotrienes, i.e. leukotriene (LT) C4, D4 and E4, are inflammatory mediators and potent airway- and vasoconstrictors. Two different cysteinyl-leukotriene receptors have been cloned, CysLT, and CysLT2. READ MORE

4. Signaling via Orexin Receptors : A Pharmacological Study
Abstract : The orexin receptors are a pair of newly discovered G-protein coupled receptors which are activated by the neuropeptides orexins and play a role in sleep/vigilance, apetite/metabolism and neuroendocrine regulation. On a cellular level receptor activation results in, to name but a few effects, elevation of intracellular calcium and depolarisation. READ MORE

5. Population-level consequences of spatial interactions
Abstract : How is the nature of populations governed by the movement decisions made by their members? This is the core question in this thesis. To answer this question, I first assume that s movement decisions are based on conditions in their local environment. READ MORE
