  4. 2. Filamentous cyanobacteria in the Baltic Sea - spatiotemporal patterns and nitrogen fixation

    Author : Lisa Almesjö; Ragnar Elmgren; Norbert Wasmund; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Aphanizomenon sp.; Nodularia spumigena; Baltic Sea; image analysis; spatial variability; nitrogen fixation; vertical migration; marin ekologi; Marine Ecology;

    Abstract : Summer blooms of filamentous, diazotrophic cyanobacteria are typical of the Baltic Sea Proper, and are dominated by Aphanizomenon sp. and the toxic Nodularia spumigena. Although occurring every summer, the blooms vary greatly in timing and spatial distribution, making monitoring difficult and imprecise. READ MORE

  5. 3. Deposit-feeding in benthic macrofauna : Tracer studies from the Baltic Sea

    Author : Lars Byrén; Ragnar Elmgren; Lisa A. Levin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Deposit-feeding; Macrofauna; Baltic Sea; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

    Abstract : A low content of organic matter, which is largely refractory in nature, is characteristic of most sediments, meaning that aquatic deposit-feeders live on a very poor food source. The food is derived mainly from sedimenting phytodetritus, and in temperate waters like the Baltic Sea, from seasonal phytoplankton blooms. READ MORE

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. Benthic use of phytoplankton blooms: uptake, burial and biodiversity effects in a species-poor system

    Author : Agnes M. L. Karlson; Ragnar Elmgren; Carlo Heip; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; ecosystem functioning; benthic-pelagic coupling; niche; resource partitioning; competition; eutrophication; cyanobacterial blooms; diatoms; invasive species; Baltic Sea; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Abstract : Animals living in marine sediments (the second largest habitat on earth) play a major role in global biogeochemical cycling. By feeding on organic matter from settled phytoplankton blooms they produce food for higher trophic levels and nutrients that can fuel primary production. READ MORE
