Research Topic in Frontiers on Environmental Variability – Deadline EXTENDED
We have a Research Topic out in Frontiers in Marine Science on: The Influence of Environmental Variability on Climate Change Impacts in Marine Ecosystems.
Just drop us a line if you are interested.
Fully funded summer 2021 project on heatwave impacts on seagrass ecosystems of varying genetic diversity
The importance of genetic diversity and small-scale environmental variability in shaping key coastal ecosystems
We are looking for a Bachelor/Master/Internship student skilled (or interested) in Benthic Ecology: The participant will join a larger-scale experiment run in summer 2021 at the Tjärnö Marine Laboratory, located on an island in the Kosterhavet marine national park, at the Swedish west coast 2 hours north of Gothenburg. Travel expenses and the stay in the guesthouse are fully funded.

Ola Mohamed Nour defended her PhD
Congratulations Ola. A well-deserved PhD.
Ola defended her PhD last Friday in Kiel, on “The non-native crab Hemigrapsus takanoi in the south-western Baltic Sea: Population structure and sensitivity to salinity and temperature shifts”
Her first paper is published in Aquatic invasions: Ola Mohamed Nour, Meike Stumpp, Sonia C. Morón Lugo, Francisco R. Barboza, Christian Pansch (2020) Population structure of the recent invader Hemigrapsus takanoi and prey size selection on Baltic Sea mussels. Aquatic Invasions 15: 297–317 (DOI: 10.3391/ai.2020.15.2.06)
And more interesting science to come

New paper out testing how thermal variability affects key benthic predators
In this SciRep paper, we tested how different scales of thermal disturbance, from sinusoidal short-term cycles to seasonal and long-term temperature changes impact the sea star Asterias rubens and the crab Hemigrapsus takanoi, two key predators on dominant Western Baltic Sea mussel reefs.
We found strong impacts of long-term changes but sea stars also responded to the very short-term thermal cycles, imposing additional stress to this species.
New article out at the Abo Akademi Webpage
Research Topic out in Frontiers on Environmental Variability
We have a Research Topic out in Frontiers in Marine Science on: The Influence of Environmental Variability on Climate Change Impacts in Marine Ecosystems.
We welcome Laura Hennigs as new MSc student in the group
Welcome Laura. Laura is working on the eco-physiological responses of bivalves to environmental variability, using KIBs and FOFS (some recently developed infrastructures).
