Reproductive isolation at contact zones
(2021-01-18)Speciation is among the most important evolutionary processes that contribute to biodiversity. It involves the formation of new species that have become reproductively isolated through a process that is not linear and ... -
Restoration and management of eelgrass (Zostera marina) on the west coast of Sweden
(2016-11-11)Since the 1980s over 60% of eelgrass (Zostera marina) habitats have been lost from the Swedish NW coast, resulting in significant losses of the valuable ecosystem services provided by these habitats. The eelgrass loss has ... -
Seagrass Wasting Disease Impact of abiotic factors and chemical defense
(2017-12-04)Eelgrass, Zostera marina, is the dominant seagrass species in the northern hemisphere, and forms large meadows that provide several important ecosystem services. In the 1930s about 90% of the Z. marina populations in the ... -
Seaweeds as a future protein source: innovative cultivation methods for protein production
(2023-10-20)As the global population is projected to reach approximately 10 billion people by 2050, it is estimated that we will need to produce up to 60% more food compared to 2010. Although the current food production system contributes ... -
Single cell carbon and nitrogen dynamics in chain forming diatoms, including their resting stage
(2023-08-10)The oceans are a fundamental part of all life on earth, accounting for more than half of Earth’s oxygen production. The ocean is also key to long term carbon dioxide sequestration. Diatoms are a group of phytoplankton ... -
Sources and fate of plastic particles in northern European coastal waters
(2019-12-11)Plastics are integral parts of our lives and have allowed for important technological leaps within society. However, an unwanted consequence of our current consumption of plas-tics is marine plastic pollution and in order ... -
Survivors of the Sea: Investigating the genomics and survival strategies of the diatom Skeletonema marinoi
(2023-09-14)Diatoms are an ecologically important group of phytoplankton, responsible for around 20% of global primary production. One of the features contributing to their success is their ability to form resting stages, a response ... -
Sustainable Kelp Aquaculture in Sweden
(2019-10-29)Seaweed aquaculture is gaining more interest worldwide, including Europe. However, despite its long coast seaweed farming is still very minor in Sweden. The overarching aim of this thesis is to develop sustainable cultivation ... -
Turbulence in the sea ice impacted Southern Ocean and its implications for primary production and carbon export
(2022-05-12)The sea ice impacted Southern Ocean, south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, is one of the most important regions on earth for the cycling of carbon and distribution of heat and freshwater around the globe. Here, ...
