  2. 21. Conservation ecology of the thick-shelled river mussel Unio crassus : The importance of parasite-host interactions

    Author : Lea Dominique Schneider; E. Martin Österling; P. Anders Nilsson; Johan Höjesjö; Caryn Vaughn; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Endangered species; freshwater mussels; host fish species; parasite-host; river; stream; Unio crassus; Unionoida; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Unionoid mussels are globally threatened and their conservation requires species-specific knowledge on their ecology and parasite-host interaction. Unio crassus is one of Europe’s most threatened unionoid species and has a temporary obligate parasitic life stage (glochidia) on fish. READ MORE

  4. 22. Paths to improving atmospheric models across scales : The importance of the unresolved scales

    Author : Kerstin Hartung; Gunilla Svensson; Rodrigo Caballero; Olof Runborg; Heikki Järvinen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global climate models; atmospheric blocking; topographic forcing; physical parametrizations; single-column model; atmosphere-ocean single-column model; air-sea interaction; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

    Abstract : Correct representation of physical processes, the parametrizations, and their interaction with the resolved circulation is crucial for the performance of numerical models. Here, focus is put on understanding model biases and developing tools to alleviate existing biases. READ MORE
