  4. 2. Benthic-pelagic coupling in a changing world : Structural and functional responses of microbenthic communities to organic matter settling

    Author : Séréna Albert; Francisco J. A. Nascimento; Monika Winder; Stefano Bonaglia; Tom Moens; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Soft sediments; benthic-pelagic coupling; organic matter export; meiofauna; nitrogen cycle; metabarcoding; Baltic Sea; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    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

  5. 3. Studies of receptors and modulatory mechanisms in functional responses to cysteinyl-leukotrienes in smooth muscle

    Author : Magnus Bäck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    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

  6. 4. Signaling via Orexin Receptors : A Pharmacological Study

    Author : Tomas Holmqvist; Jyrki Kukkonen; Karl Åkerman; Gunnar Flemström; Per Svenningsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; orexin; receptors; calcium; cAMP; adenylyl cyclases; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    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

  7. 5. Population-level consequences of spatial interactions

    Author : Henrik Sjödin; Göran Englund; Åke Brännström; Per Lundberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    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
