Zoology Baltic NEST Institute Stockholm Resilience center Beijer Institute for Ecological economics Fate and effects of pollutants in coastal ecosystems Clare Bradshaw, Linda Kumblad, Karolina Stark, Ben Jaeschke, Lena Konovalenko, Hanna Ericson, Suzanne Faxneld, Micaela Hellström, Michael Tedengren Studies at all organizational levels Ecologically important organisms/communities Lab experiments, mesocosms, in situ studies Genetic markers, proteomics, ecophysiology Ecostoichiometry, ecosystem modelling Radionucleids, flame retardants, pharmaceutical residues, pesticides etc e.g. Role of blue mussels for circulation of pollutants, biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in the whole Baltic Sea Pesticide use - Risk-awareness among farmers and effects on tropical ecosystems Linda Kumblad, Nadja Stadlinger, Michael Tedengren, Nils Kautsky, Jonas Gunnarsson, Angelina Sanderson - Banana plantations in Costa Rica - Antibiotic and chemical use in shrimp farming - Rice fields in Tanzania and Vietnam Contaminated sediments Jonas Gunnarsson, Clare Bradshaw, Johan Näslund Ingrid Tjensvoll, Göran Samuelsson Toxicant re-mobilisation through Bioturbation of digging animals Sediment re-suspension by trawling “Capping” to prevent leakage of toxicants Ecological connectivity in the tropical seascape Nils Kautsky, Charlotte Berkström, Magnus Nyström, Martin Gullström, Johan Eklöf, Matilda Tyresson, Regina Lindborg Eutrophication, macroalgae, coral reefs and sea urchins and resilience Nils Kautsky, Erik Mörk, Gustaf Lilliesköld-Sjöö, Johan Eklöf, Magnus Nyström Ecological consequences of invasions of alien species e.g. algae, Japanese oysters Sofia Wikström, Josefin Sagerman, Nils Kautsky Tropical seagrass ecology and management Maricela de la Torre-Castro, Johan Eklöf, Sara Fröcklin, Hampus Eriksson, Nils Kautsky • Seagrass related fisheries • Management of sea cucumber and and sea turtle populations • Social-ecological impacts of seaweed farming • Women's’ role in coastal management and livelihood sustainability • Adaptive capacity of the coastal poor to global climate change Seagrass, Mangrove and Coral reef related fisheries Aquaculture and fisheries Max Troell, Nils Kautsky, Carl Folke, Maricela de la Torre Castro et al.. Small-scale fisheries - food for local communities Global issues - fish-meal use, environmental impacts Integrated aquaculture -Ecological engineering
