Detection of the neurotoxin BMAA in Swedish individuals

BMAA can be produced by cyanobacteria and was earlier detected in fish and several other organisms in the Baltic Sea. The toxin is now also found in the central nervous system in three out of 25 examined individuals in Sweden.

Global experiment shows that high biodiversity gives healthy seagrass beds

Loss of algal-feeding invertebrates have surprisingly large effects on health of valuable seagrass meadows. These are the new results from a set of coordinated experiments that have taken place over the Northern hemisphere, in which the researchers Johan Eklöf and Serena Donadi, both at the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences, have participated.

Plant pollination synchronized with full moon

A previously unknown correlation between plant pollination and the full moon has recently been discovered. Researchers at Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences present their research results in the international journal Biology Letters.

Seagrass beds and coral reefs in the Western Indian Ocean region are becoming degraded and one reason seems to be overgrazing by increasing numbers of sea urchins. Why are there so many sea urchins? Could one explanation be the overfishing of their predators, such as triggerfish, emperor fish and wrasses? Sigi Wallner-Hahn set out to investigate and to see if anything could be done…

Coastal zones often have a high productivity and are important both as areas for production of valuable food resources and as recreational areas. However, costal zones are also strongly influenced by humans, for example through euthrophication.

Cyanobacterial bloom

Cyanobacterial summer blooms progressively earlier in the Baltic Sea

The cyanobacterial summer bloom in the Baltic is now almost three weeks earlier than 35 years ago, according to a study published in Biogeosciences. The blooms had been predicted to become earlier in the future, as a result of climate change, but now it appears that the future is already here.

Many connections are not always bad for health

Ayco Tack is one of the authors of a paper recently published in the Science journal. The paper describes an extensive study of over 4000 plant populations infected by a pathogenic fungus. The unexpected result contradicts what is predicted from classical ecological theory.

The Nodularia genome sequenced

The genetic make-up of one of the most important organisms in the Baltic Sea, the cyanobacterium Nodularia, has now been revealed through genome sequencing within a European collaboration, including researchers at the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences. The data are published in PLoS ONE.
