2. 1. Summer cyanobacterial blooms in the Baltic Sea - implications for copepod recruitment

   Author : Hedvig Hogfors; Sture Hansson; Wim Kimmerer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cyanobacteria; Calanoid copepods; Food web interactions; Harmful algae blooms; Zooplankton; Nodularin; Allelopathy; Baltic Sea; Biochemical markers; RNA-based indices; Acidification; Global Climate Change; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

   Abstract : During summer, the Baltic Sea is subjected to the world’s largest cyanobacterial blooms. These blooms are linked to eutrophication and raise many questions concerning their effects on the ecosystem. To understand their impacts on the food web dynamics, it is essential to assess growth responses of grazers to these cyanobacteria. READ MORE

4. 2. Coping with environmental change : Lessons from isotope studies in a sentinel species

   Author : Matias Ledesma; Agnes Karlson; Marleen De Troch; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stable isotope; compound-specific nitrogen stable isotope analysis; trophic niche; harmful algae blooms; contaminants; stress; reproductive success; environmental change; Baltic Sea; marin ekologi; Marine Ecology;

   Abstract : Adaptive evolution and phenotypic plasticity are two key mechanisms by which natural populations avoid extinction in the face of environmental change. Evolutionary young systems, such as the Baltic Sea with low species diversity and steep environmental gradients, are good models for studying how wild populations cope with environmental changes, such as climate-induced alterations in food supply and exposure to environmental contaminants.

5. 3. Diel vertical migration in marine dinoflagellates

   Author : Therese Jephson; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Key words: diel vertical migration; DVM; dinoflagellates; stratification; halocline; thermocline; behavior diel vertical migration; behavior;

   Abstract : Increasing precipitation and surface water temperature due to global change may strengthen stratification in coastal regions, which could influence the behavior of dinoflagellate diel vertical migration (DVM). DVM is a behavioral mechanism by which dinoflagellates can access photosynthetically active radiation near the surface, and nutrients at depth. READ MORE

6. 4. Structural Decorations in Viruses : Unraveling Acquired Functional Structures in Icosahedral RNA Virus Capsids

   Author : Han Wang; Kenta Okamoto; Sarah Butcher; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Viruses; RNA viruses; capsid; structure; cryo-EM; Molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Viruses have a profound impact worldwide, posing challenges to animal welfare, agriculture, human health, and the ecosystem. This thesis examines the realm of non-enveloped icosahedral double-stranded (ds)RNA and single-stranded (ss)RNA viruses through three studies. READ MORE
