  1. 1. Controls over stream temperature in a northern boreal landscape

    Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Oskar Damström; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Aquatic ecosystems; Climate change; Stream warming; Boreal streams;

    Sammanfattning : With widespread increases in air temperature, it is expected that the temperature of aquatic ecosystems will also increase, especially at high latitudes. Warmer streams and rivers could have severe, direct impacts on cold-adapted aquatic fauna but may also indirectly influence species by reducing the amount of suitable habitat. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Vilken ny kunskap ger aDNA-analyser om vegetationsutvecklingen i Nordeuropa under och efter Weichsel-istiden?

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Författare :Beatrix Cordes; [2023]
    Nyckelord :aDNA; ancient DNA; vegetationshistoria; vegetationsförändring; PCR; NGS; Nordeuropa; next generation sequencing; Weichselistiden; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Under de senaste 30 åren har en ny metod för att få information om tidigare ekosystem utveck- lats, nämligen att analysera gammalt (“ancient”) DNA (aDNA). Denna forskningsgren är fortfarande ung men har redan hittat många områden inom vilka den kan tillämpas. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Effekter av salthalter och ljusexponering på zooplanktonpopulationer

    Kandidat-uppsats, Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Författare :Arielle Lindell; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Zooplankton; salinity; salinization; eutrophication;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Eutrophication and salinization are both major threats to lake ecosystems and the contaminants can alter the structure of freshwater lake ecosystems, resulting in a loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Zooplankton and phytoplankton are key components in all aquatic ecosystems as they maintain a healthy quality of the water and they are also an important part of the food chain. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Aquaculture and its effect on the wild fish resource in a Swedish lake : An evaluation of changes in fat content, protein content and trophic niche

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Emmy Nyberg; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Aquaculture; wild fish; fat content; protein content; stable isotopes;

    Sammanfattning : Fish is nutritious and important as a food source for many people. It contains high levels of protein, important omega-3 fatty acids as well as micronutrients. For a sustainable fish consumption, aquaculture is needed but it can affect nearby ecosystems in many ways. LÄS MER

  7. 5. As I live and breathe! : The effects of hypolimnic oxygenation on benthic macroinvertebrate and zooplankton assemblages

    Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Författare :Rashid Kadhim; [2022]
    Nyckelord :lake hypoxia; benthic macroinvertebrates; chironomids; zooplankton;

    Sammanfattning : Exacerbated deep-water hypoxia, brought about by anthropogenic-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) input, has potentially detrimental impacts on organisms residing in freshwater ecosystems. Oxygenation of the water column is a potential management strategy to mitigate this impact, and used to alleviate DOC induced oxygen depletion. LÄS MER
