  2. 1. Early life stages of brown trout - Anti-predator responses under warming winters

    Author : Karl Filipsson; Eva Bergman; Ann Erlandsson; Johan Watz; Martin Österling; Neil Metcalfe; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; behaviour; climate; cortisol; development; egg incubation; embryo; gene expression; ice; light; mRNA; piscivorous; poikilotherm; salmonid; stress; temperature; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : During winter, juvenile salmonids in boreal streams are vulnerable to predation, mainly from mammals and birds. Encounters with terrestrial predators can be reduced or avoided if fish limit activity to the darker periods of the day or to periods with surface ice. READ MORE

  4. 2. From behaviour to genes: anti-predator responses of brown trout (Salmo trutta) under winter conditions

    Author : Karl Filipsson; Eva Bergman; Ann Erlandsson; Martin Österling; Johan Watz; Stefán Óli Steingrímsson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; burbot; climate change; cortisol; diel behaviour; gene expression; HPI axis; light; mRNA; piscivorous; poikilotherm; predator; salmonid; stream; stress; temperature; thermal; winter behaviour; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Temperature has major effects on the performance of poikilotherms. In encounters with predators, low winter temperatures constrain predator detection and escape capabilities in prey fishes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Variation in age and size at maturation in two benthic crustaceans in the Gulf of Bothnia

    Author : Kjell Leonardsson; J. Ekman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Age at maturation; alternative prey; Bergmanris rule; cannibalism; growth; life-history theory; mortality; Mvoxocephalus quadricornis; poikilotherm; Pontoporeia affinis; population dynamics; risk- taking behaviour; Saduria entomon; size at maturation; temperature;

    Abstract : The thesis deals with variation in age and size at maturation in Saduria entomon and Pontoporeia affinis along a depth gradient in the Gulf of Bothnia, Sweden. I have analysed at what sizes and ages animals should mature in relation to growth and mortality conditions. READ MORE

  6. 4. C. elegans PAQR-2 ‒ A Regulator of Membrane Homeostasis

    Author : Emma Svensk; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PAQR; LRRIG; glucose; membrane fluidity; desaturase; homeoviscous adaptation;

    Abstract : The progestin and adipoQ receptor (PAQR) protein family is characterized by a 7-transmembrane domain, and a topology reversed that of G-protein coupled receptors, i.e. the N-terminus resides in the cytoplasm. READ MORE
