Environmental filtering drives functional diversity of fish assemblages in a temperate system Open
No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Presence and survival of species in a community depend on their capacities to maximize fitness in a given environment. The study of processes that control survival and co-e…

Marine climate change research in Nordic regions: recent trends and current state Open
No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Ocean resources are subject to increasing anthropogenic exploitation, causing ecosystem vulnerability to climate change (CC). Such vulnerability is difficult to monitor, t…

Introduction: towards holistic knowledge of marine environmental changes Open
Many marine environmental changes can be understood in terms of wicked problems because of their unique, uncertain, complex, multifaceted, and interdependent character. As in the entire volume, this introductory chapter addresses marine en…

A trait‐based approach to assess niche overlap and functional distinctiveness between non‐indigenous and native species Open
Our understanding of the community assembly processes acting on non‐indigenous species (NIS), as well as the relationship with native species is limited, especially in marine ecosystems. To overcome this knowledge gap we here develop a tra…

Effects of bottom trawling and hypoxia on benthic invertebrate communities Open
Marine benthic habitats in continental shelf regions are increasingly impacted by hypoxia caused by the combination of eutrophication and climate warming. Many regions that have the potential for hypoxic conditions are being fished by mobi…

Biological traits approaches in benthic marine ecology: Dead ends and new paths Open
Biological traits analysis (BTA) links community structure to both ecological functions and response to environmental drivers through species’ attributes. In consequence, it has become a popular approach in marine benthic studies. However,…

Climate change and the governance of the Baltic Sea environment Open
This article expands the discussion of Baltic Sea environmental governance by examining the implications of climate change on governance. It scrutinizes the physical challenges posed by climate change and analyses how the existing governin…

Causal Approach to Determining the Environmental Risks of Seabed Mining Open
Mineral deposits containing commercially exploitable metals are of interest for seabed mineral extraction in both the deep sea and shallow sea areas. However, the development of seafloor mining is underpinned by high uncertainties on the i…

Impact of round goby on native invertebrate communities - An experimental field study Open
This experimental field study provides first insights into the impact of a widely spread non-native fish species, round goby Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas 1814), on the diversity of native epifaunal macroinvertebrate communities in the Ba…

Causal approach to environmental risks of seabed mining Open
Seabed mining is approaching the commercial mining phase across the world’s oceans. This rapid industrialization of seabed resource use is introducing new pressures to marine environments. The environmental impacts of such pressures should…

Predation risk and competition affect habitat use of adult perch, <span><i>Perca fluviatilis</i></span> Open
The aim of this study was to examine how the presence of a predator and an interspecific competitor influence the habitat use of adult perch ( Perca fluviatilis ; size: 15.1 ± 0.5 cm) when given the choice between two adjacent habitats. By…
View article: Evaluating impacts of bottom trawling and hypoxia on benthic communities at the local, habitat, and regional scale using a modelling approach
Evaluating impacts of bottom trawling and hypoxia on benthic communities at the local, habitat, and regional scale using a modelling approach Open
Bottom trawling disturbance and hypoxia are affecting marine benthic habitats worldwide. We present an approach to predict their effects on benthic communities, and use the approach to estimate the state, the biomass relative to carrying c…

New legal requirements for sustainability reporting in Sweden : its influence on the content of the reports Open
In 2017 changes (SFS 2016:947) for sustainability reporting in Sweden were made in the Annual Accounts Act (SFS 1995:1554). Since the regulation was recently imposed, there is little evidence for how it has impacted the content of sustaina…

Four decades of functional community change reveals gradual trends and low interlinkage across trophic groups in a large marine ecosystem Open
The rate at which biological diversity is altered on both land and in the sea, makes temporal community development a critical and fundamental part of understanding global change. With advancements in trait‐based approaches, the focus on t…

Avoiding pitfalls in interdisciplinary education Open
As the world's social-environmental problems increasingly extend across boundaries, both disciplinary and political, there is a growing need for interdisciplinarity, not only in research per se, but also in doctoral education. We present t…

The importance of benthic–pelagic coupling for marine ecosystem functioning in a changing world Open
Benthic–pelagic coupling is manifested as the exchange of energy, mass, or nutrients between benthic and pelagic habitats. It plays a prominent role in aquatic ecosystems, and it is crucial to functions from nutrient cycling to energy tran…

Nestedness of trophic links and biological traits in a marine food web Open
To understand the consequences of changes in diversity we need to consider the functional characteristics (traits) of species, as well as the trophic setting the taxa are part of. These two approaches have rarely been conducted in an integ…
