Spatial and temporal variation in fish populations and assemblages in coastal waters of the northern Baltic Proper
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2015-06-12)
The distribution and traits of fish are of interest both ecologically and socio-economically. In this thesis, phenotypic and structural variation in fish populations and assemblages was studied on multiple spatial and ...
Patterns and processes of littoral zooplankton composition in relation to the trophic state of the environment
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2012-08-31)
Anti-predator adaptations in aquatic environments
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-04-11)
Predation is an important selective force that has led to the
evolution of a variety of fascinating anti-predator adaptations, such
as many types of protective coloration and prey behaviours.
Because the evolution of ...
Flavobacterium psychrophilum adhesion and biofilm formation
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2018-05-18)
Flavobacterium psychrophilum causes serious infections in farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and subsequent substantial economic losses to fish farmers, globally. Over the past years, few studies have conclusively ...
From genes to communities : stress tolerance in eelgrass (Zostera marina)
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-10-31)
Shallow coastal areas are dynamic habitats that are affected by a variety of abiotic and biotic factors. In addition to the natural environmental stress, estuarine and coastal seagrass ecosystems are exposed to effects of ...
Macroalgae across environmental gradients : tools for managing rocky coastal areas of the northern Baltic Sea
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-11-21)
Macroalgae are the main primary producers of the temperate rocky shores providing a three-dimensional habitat, food and nursery grounds for many other species. During the past decades, the state of the coastal waters has ...
Of milquetoasts and daredevils : personalities in female eiders
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-01-17)
Traditionally biologists have often considered individual differences in behaviour or physiology as a nuisance when investigating a population of individuals. These differences have mostly been dismissed as measurement ...
Interpreting marine benthic ecosystem functioning in coastal waters: validating the biological trait concept
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-03-21)
Coastal areas harbour high biodiversity, but are simultaneously affected by rapid degradations of species and habitats due to human interactions. Such alterations also affect the functioning of the ecosystem, which is ...
Stop bugging me! : diversity in appearance of warning coloration
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2013-10-18)
In nature, many animals use body coloration to communicate with each other. For example, colorations can be used as signals between individuals of the same species, but also to recognise individuals of other species, and ...
Distribution and role of macrophytes in coastal lagoons : implications of critical shifts
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2010-11-26)
Crossroads, crucibles and refuges are three words that may describe natural
coastal lagoon environments. The words refer to the complex mix of marine
and terrestrial influences, prolonged dilution due to the semi-enclosed ...
