The Swedish island of Gotland faces limited capacity in groundwater reservoirs and increased demand during tourist season. Desalination from the Baltic Sea is a promising method for water supply which will benefit from a forecast of harmful algae blooms.
Plants are host to a wealth of microbes, both beneficial and antagonistic, and these may be found both on aboveground plant structures and in the roots.
Identifying refugia for retreating cold-favouring species
I am fascinated by the spatial and eco-evolutionary dynamics of host-parasite interactions. We do lack some generality though: many of the existing studies have (for good reasons!) focused on single pathogen species, and on non-systemic diseases with high extinction-colonization rates.
In the world’s largest ecosystem, marine plankton form complex trophic interaction networks that are influenced by environmental conditions.
Tradeoffs and synergies in relation to other wetland ecosystem services
This project will develop a cost-efficient program to control the invasive species Lupinus polyphyllus in Sweden.
The "Cell differentiation and coordination in tissues" group is establishing and optimizing novel methods to directly assess changes in amount and chemical composition of plant biomass from biopsies with sub µm resolution.
Parasitic symbionts play a major role in the functioning and equilibrium of carbon flow in marine food webs. But the extent and strength of zooplankton parasites are still poorly known, mainly because they are hard to detect due to their small size and mostly hidden within their hosts, and consequently frequently overseen.
In this project we study habitat preferences, population dynamics, phenology and host plant preferences in six co-occurring species of burnet moths in southern Sweden. Yearly inventories have been carried out since 2012 and currently include about 100 sites with burnet moths.
In this study, we are looking at how extreme weather events (in particular droughts) affect forest biodiversity.
The smallest aquatic plants on earth, phytoplankton, are responsible for the vast majority of photosynthesis.
Catarina Rydin works with Isoetes (Isoetaceae), a distinct group of lycopods that are often semi-aquatic but may also be terrestrial or grow submersed in lakes.
Baltic herring, also known as "herring" north of Kalmar Sound, was previously the most common fish and a keystone species in the Baltic Sea ecosystem, connecting lower trophic levels with higher ones.
The transdisciplinary FORCE project will identify the most effective management actions for reversing biodiversity loss and increasing resilience to climate change of the Baltic Sea coast.
Parasitic plants obtain part of or all of their nutrients from another plant. We study one of the most well-known parasitic plants, the European mistletoe, Viscum album, but parasitism has evolved 12 times within the flowering plants and some 4750 species are parasites.
Has the large scale fishery in coastal areas reduced the abundance of herring in the archipelago – a baseline study of historical data
- a study in the Central Arctic Ocean
Meringosphaera are a widespread genus of marine planktonic unicellular eukaryotes that are globally distributed, yet poorly characterized.
