  2. 1. Multiple stressors in rotifer communities: : Effects of predation, climate change, and brownification

    Author : Huan Zhang; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; community dynamic; brownification; heat wave; inducible defense; rotifer; plasticity; multiple stressors; Predation; prey;

    Abstract : Most organisms on Earth live in an environment where they are exposed to multiple pressures, including predation and climate change. In many aquatic ecosystems, organisms have to handle additional challenges such as brownification, co-occurring with climate warming. READ MORE

  4. 2. Nonionic surfactants : A multivariate study

    Author : Lise-Lott Uppgård; Michael Sjöström; Svante Wold; Jiri Damborsky; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AEO; APG; aquatic toxicity; cellulose reactivity; Fock; MLR; multivariate data analysis; nonionic surfactant; PCA; physicochemical properties; PLS; QSAR; surface activity; viscose; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : In this thesis technical nonionic surfactants are studied using multivariate techniques. The surfactants studied were alkyl ethoxylates (AEOs) and alkyl polyglucosides (APGs). The aquatic toxicity of the surfactants towards two organisms, a shrimp and a rotifer, was examined. The specified effect was lethality, LC50, as indicated by immobilisation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Productivity and carbon transfer in pelagic food webs in response to carbon, nutrients and light

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bacterial production; phytoplankton production; mesocosms; food webs; carbon; nutrients; light; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestrisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; limnologi; Limnology;

    Abstract : Some of the major problems we face today are human induced changes to the nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and carbon (C) cycles. Predicted increases in rainfall and temperature due to climate change, may also increase dissolved organic matter (DOM) inflows to freshwater ecosystems in the boreal zone. READ MORE
