2. Fingerprints of planktivory : paleolimnological evidence of past fish community structure and dynamics
Abstract : Planktivorous fish affect the species composition, size and morphology of their zooplankton prey by size selective predation. Remains of cladocerans are deposited in the lake sediments and this microfossil community hence reflects the historical changes in the planktivore fish community. READ MORE

3. Trophic interactions and behaviour : Studies relevant to a Baltic Sea biomanipulation
Abstract : The main theme of this thesis is the interactions of animals with the environment and each other. The thesis was written within the framework of a biomanipulation project “Pikeperch in Himmerfjärden”. READ MORE

4. Ecology of zooplankton communities: climate, dormancy, and benthic-pelagic coupling
Abstract : This thesis describes how influences, such as top down and bottom up forces, shape zooplankton communities in shallow lakes. I have also extended the traditional food-web theory by investigating the effects of climate on total biomass, taxonomic composition, and temporal properties of zooplankton communities. READ MORE

5. Zooplankton growth and trophic linkages : Implications for fish feeding conditions in the Baltic Sea
Abstract : The aim of this Thesis was to improve our understanding and assessment of feeding conditions for zooplanktivorous fish in the Baltic Sea.We investigated (papers I, II) the usefulness of biochemical proxies for assessments of growth and metabolic rates in the dominant Baltic copepod Acartia bifilosa.
