Submersed Aquatic Vegetation Enhances Density and Diversity of Epifaunal Invertebrates Compared to Filamentous Mats in the Central Baltic Sea Open
Submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV) provides essential habitat and food to numerous coastal invertebrate species. In the eutrophic Baltic Sea, fast‐growing drifting algae form extensive mats that can negatively impact SAV. However, these ma…

Detection of Non‐Native Pink Salmon (<span><i>Oncorhynchus gorbuscha</i></span>) in Swedish Rivers Using <span>eDNA</span> Open
Biological invasions are increasing on a worldwide scale and can have severe ecological and economic consequences. Pink salmon ( Oncorhynchus gorbuscha ) have a native range in the Pacific Ocean but have been introduced and are now spreadi…

Standardized intermittent shoreline boat electrofishing for slow-flowing rivers in Sweden Open
Electrofishing is a common method for sampling fish in rivers. In Sweden, electrofishing has a long history, dating back to the 1950s, but the vast majority of surveys have been conducted by wading in shallow river stretches, leaving a dat…

Sea trout ( <i>Salmo trutta</i> ) activity and movement patterns in response to environmental cues in a fjord system Open
As a predatory fish that migrates between freshwater and marine environments, the sea trout ( Salmo trutta ) is important in linking these systems. This study investigated movement patterns of sea trout in a coastal fjord at the Swedish Sk…

Considerations needed for analysing data from the Swedish Electrofishing RegiSter (SERS), with special reference to the RivFishTIME database of long-term riverine fish surveys Open
The published database RivFishTIME (Comte et al. 2021, Global Ecology and Biogeography, doi: 10.1111/geb.13210) includes a large section of time-series data on fish abundance in Swedish rivers from the Swedish Electrofishing RegiSter, SERS…

Pink salmon distribution in Sweden: The calm before the storm? Open
Pink salmon distribution has recently expanded substantially across northern Europe. On the Swedish west coast, relatively few pink salmon have been observed to date; nonetheless, a notable rise in 2021 (70 observations). However, with no …

Exploring seagrass fish assemblages in relation to the habitat patch mosaic in the brackish Baltic Sea Open
Assessing the influence of habitat patch dynamics on faunal communities is a growing area of interest within marine ecological studies. This study sets out to determine fish assemblage composition in Zostera marina (L.) meadows and ascerta…

Global environmental changes negatively impact temperate seagrass ecosystems Open
The oceans are increasingly affected by multiple aspects of global change, with substantial impacts on ecosystem functioning and food‐web dynamics. While the effects of single factors have been extensively studied, it has become increasing…

Sea surface temperature dictates movement and habitat connectivity of Atlantic cod in a coastal fjord system Open
While movements of organisms have been studied across a myriad of environments, information is often lacking regarding spatio‐seasonal patterning in complex temperate coastal systems. Highly mobile fish form an integral part of marine food…

Fish in the coastal seascape: exploring ecological processes and connectivity for conservation of temperate fish communities Open
The need to understand patterns and processes in the marine environment has never been so profound as today, particularly as anthropogenic pressures upon coastal regions are drastically affecting habitats and species across a vast range. O…

Habitat Connectivity of Fish in Temperate Shallow-Water Seascapes Open
Movements of organisms comprise a fundamental aspect of coastal habitat connectivity. Determining the distribution and co-existence of habitat specialists and generalists in shallow-water seascapes leads to a better understanding of the st…

Temperate fish community variation over seasons in relation to large-scale geographic seascape variables Open
In shallow-water marine environments, ecosystem functioning is a complex interworking of fine-scale characteristics and region-wide factors, and the importance of these variables can vary on multiple temporal and spatial scales. This under…

Seascape structure and complexity influence temperate seagrass fish assemblage composition Open
Understanding how spatial patterning relates to ecological processes is fundamental to define important species–environment associations at broader scales. Analyses targeting habitat structure (i.e. composition and configuration) in terres…

Factors affecting the local distribution of the Long-tailed Duck Clangula hyemalis in Baltic offshore waters Open
The Long-tailed Duck Clangula hyemalis is the main offshore wintering seaduckspecies in the Baltic region, although numbers have declined steeply since the early 1990s. The reasons for the decline are not well understood and information ab…
