Shipworm ecology in Swedish coastal waters
(2015-03-11)Shipworms (Teredinidae) are marine bivalves adopted for boring into submerged wood, which they efficiently fragmentize and consume. They thereby perform a vital ecosystem service, yet simultaneously they cause extensive ... -
Chemical mixtures and interactions with detoxification mechanisms and biomarker responses in fish
(2015-01-09)Several classes of anthropogenic chemicals are present as mixtures in the aquatic environment. However, information of how wildlife species, including fish, are affected by exposures to chemical mixtures is limited. Chemicals ... -
Climate Change and the Norway lobster -Effects of Multiple Stressors on Early Development
(2014-11-07)Climate change together with anthropogenic eutrophication have led to, and will lead to, shifts in a number of abiotic factors in the oceans, such as temperature, carbon dioxide [CO2], pH, oxygen saturation and salinity. ... -
Blue Oceans with Blue Mussels - Management and planning of mussel farming in coastal ecosystems
(2014-11-03)Eutrophication is one of the largest and most serious global threats to the marine environment. The effect of eutrophication has become increasingly clear during recent time, and major economic and political efforts are ... -
Plastidial phosphate transport in plants
(2014-10-24)Phosphorus is an essential element for all living organisms and is central to the genetics and energetics of life. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is recurrently involved in protein regulation and signal transduction but also in ... -
Biologisk mångfald i läroböcker i biologi
(2014-10-17)The aim of this thesis is to analyse offered meaning, that is, what and how subject content is communicated to the recipients. In this case the subject content is biological diversity and the communicative artefacts are ... -
Biochemical studies of the essential Clp protease in cyanobacteria and its associated adaptor proteins
(2014-10-03)Proteins are an essential part of all organisms and are involved in many cellular processes. To regulate the function of proteins and facilitate their removal when damaged or otherwise compromised, sophisticated control ... -
Light-regulated Development in Arabidopsis
(2014-09-30)Many external and internal factors affect multiple developmental processes in plants. Light is one of the essential factors that regulates various aspects of plant growth and development throughout their life cycle. Through ... -
Hazard assessment of ciprofloxacin, sulfamethoxazole and triclosan for marine periphyton : Ecotoxicology, Pollution Induced Community Tolerance and Co-Tolerance
(2014-09-29)Antibiotics and personal care products are used in large quantities and commonly detected in various environmental compartments. The two antibiotics, ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole, and the personal care product triclosan ... -
Structural and functional studies of the ATP-dependent Clp proteases in cyanobacteria
(2014-09-17)Proteins are essential in all living organisms and they are involved in a myriad of biological functions. It is vital for cells to have efficient surveillance and quality control systems that ensure damaged proteins are ... -
Species Delimitation and Phylogenetic Relationships. A study of Silene sections Atocion and Cryptoneurae
(2014-09-02)Abstract The existence of conflicting genealogies of different genes through the evolution of species complicates the inference of phylogenetic relationships. The Multispecies Coalescent (MSC) model provides a theoretical ... -
Phenotypic Plasticity and Adaptation Potential to Salinity in Early Life Stages of the Tunicate, Ciona intestinalis spB
(2014-04-08)Species respond to environmental heterogeneity through a variety of mechanisms such as plasticity, genetic adaptation and phenotypic buffering. Determining how gene flow, scale of environmental heterogeneity and trait ... -
Molecular mechanisms optimizing photosynthesis during high light stress in plants
(2014-04-04)ABSTRACT: Oxygenic photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and cyanobacteria usesolar energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into molecular oxygen and carbohydrates.Photosynthesis sustains life on Earth ... -
Broadening the perspective on seafood production: Life cycle thinking and fisheries management
(2014-03-28)Decisions made by fisheries managers strongly influence the overall resource use and environmental impacts associated with the seafood product from capture fisheries. These findings come from Life Cycle Assessments (LCA), ... -
Vesicle transport in chloroplasts with emphasis on Rab proteins
(2014-02-28)Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis using PSI and PSII during its light-dependent phase. Inside the chloroplast there is a membrane called thylakoid. The thylakoid membranes are an internal system of interconnected membranes ... -
From geography to genes: evolutionary perspectives on salinity tolerance in the brackish water barnacle Balanus improvisus
(2014-02-03)How species respond to changes in their environment is a fundamental question in biology. This has become an increasingly important issue as anthropogenic effects of climate change and biological invasions have major impacts ... -
On the Efficacy and Ecotoxicity of Antifouling Biocides Lethal and Sublethal Effects on Target and Non-target Organisms
(2013-10-23)From an environmental perspective, there is a need to reduce the amount of biocides from antifouling paints in the marine ecosystem as these biocides can exert a negative effect on the marine life. One way to do this is ... -
Ecotoxicology of antifouling biocides - with special focus on the novel antifoulant medetomidine and microbial communities
(2013-09-16)Marine biofouling, growth on submerged surfaces, is a problem for the commercial shipping industry but also for recreational boat owners. It leads to increased fuel consumption, loss of maneuverability and is a source of ... -
Trans-life Cycle Impacts of Ocean Acidification on the Green Sea Urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis
(2013-09-16)This thesis studies the impacts of ocean acidification on an ecologically and economically important invertebrate of the Nordic waters: the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis. Acidification affects the ... -
