Phase variation in Flavobacterium psychrophilum : influence on host-pathogen interactions
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 28.05.2014)- -
Anti-predator adaptations in aquatic environments
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 11.04.2014)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 ... -
Interpreting marine benthic ecosystem functioning in coastal waters: validating the biological trait concept
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 21.03.2014)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 ... -
Of milquetoasts and daredevils : personalities in female eiders
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 17.01.2014)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 ... -
Stop bugging me! : diversity in appearance of warning coloration
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 18.10.2013)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 ... -
Disturbance and ecosystem functioning : the role of changes in benthic biological traits
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 14.06.2013)Rapid changes in biodiversity are occurring globally, as a consequence of anthropogenic disturbance. This has raised concerns, since biodiversity is known to significantly contribute to ecosystem functions and services. ... -
Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in angiosperm communities in the Baltic Sea
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 22.02.2013)The biological variation in nature is called biodiversity. Anthropogenic pressures have led to a loss of biodiversity, alarming scientists as to what consequences declining diversity has for ecosystem functioning. The ... -
Dispersal and metacommunity dynamics in a soft-sediment benthic system : how well is the seafloor connected?
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 19.12.2012) -
Climate driven changes in temperature, pH and food quality : effects on copepod reproduction
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 12.10.2012)Increased emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere are causing an anthropogenic climate change. The resulting global warming challenges the ability of organisms to adapt to the new temperature conditions. However, ... -
People and the intertidal : human induced changes, biodiversity loss, livelihood implications and management in the Western Indian Ocean
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 21.09.2012)The intertidal zone in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) provides several important ecosystem services, but the intertidal is experiencing an accelerating loss of habitats and biodiversity, due to among other factors, an ... -
Patterns and processes of littoral zooplankton composition in relation to the trophic state of the environment
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 31.08.2012) -
Distribution and role of macrophytes in coastal lagoons : implications of critical shifts
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 26.11.2010)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 ... -
Assessment of endocrine disrupting activities in the aquatic environment
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 16.01.2009)Hormonstörande ämnen är syntetiska eller naturliga ämnen som stör organismers hormonsystem och bidrar till könsförvirring och sterilitet. Sådana ämnen kommer i ökande takt ut i vattenmiljön genom rester av läkemedel, ...
