Abstract:
Freshwater planarian Schmidtea mediterranea is an emerging model for studying in vivo gene functions and regulation in native cell niches. The obligate asexual strain of this species reproduces by fission, in which succession of soma occurs without passing through the germline. To achieve this somatic immortality the somatic stem cells need to overcome the end replication problem. Therefore it can be hypothesised that somatic telomere maintenance in asexual S. mediterranea must possess a germ-like property, with which age-related erosions can be adequately repaired. In this PhD project, the telomere repeat unit in S. mediterranea was confirmed to be the vertebrate-like TTAGGG. Attrition of whole body telomere length was found in ageing sexual worms and also in asexual worms which had not gone through recent fission events. Opposite telomere length dynamics were observed in regenerated samples of the two strains, with erosion in the sexuals and reset in the asexuals. The telomere maintenance was found to increase during regeneration in both strains, with a higher level of increase in asexual worms. A homolog of the telomerase reverse transcriptase subunit, Smed_Tert, was identified and characterised in this organism. High level of Smed_Tert expression was seen in germ cells in mature sexual worms and adult stem cells in asexual worms. Knockdown of Smed_Tert expression by RNA interference caused progressive telomere erosion, however effects on cell proliferation and viability have not been observed in knockdown samples. Four alternate splice isoforms of Smed_Tert were identified. The enhanced telomerase activity during regeneration correlates with a proportional increase in the full-length isoform and a decrease in isoforms with a truncated TRBD domain, suggesting a dominant negative regulation of telomerase by alternative splicing. Significant increase in the expression of the full-length isoform was seen in regenerating asexual samples but not in sexual strains, which correlates with their telomere length dynamics. It is hoped that the comparative studies between the sexual and asexual strains can improve our understanding of how soma can evolve to become an effective inheritable unit.

Abstract

The sediment requirements for freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) recruitment, in 18 rivers in the counties of Västra Götaland, Örebro, Värmland and Västmanland in Sweden, were investigated. The top 4 cm of sediment in the rivers was analysed in terms of size, distribution and organic compound within the fine sediment. The aims of the study were to determine whether there is a relation between sediment particle size compound and freshwater pearl mussel recruitment as well as between organic compound in fine sediment and recruitment of mussels. The study shows that there is a significant difference in the amount of organic silt between non-recruitment and recruitment sites with a higher percentage of organic silt in recruitment sites. There is also a legible difference between the amounts of silt per sample between non-recruitment sites and recruitment sites where there was significantly more silt in sediment samples of non-recruitment sites. With the exception of fine sediment, no significant difference was found between non-recruitment and recruitment sites regarding size class distribution.


Sammanfattning

Sedimentkraven för rekrytering hos flodpärlmussla (Margaritifera maragaritifera) i 18 svenska vattendrag belägna i Västra Götalands, Örebro, Värmlands och Västmanlands län undersöktes. Vattendragens översta 4 cm sediment analyserades gällande storlek, fördelning och organisk sammansättning i finsedimentet. Målen med studien var att fastställa huruvida det finns förhållanden mellan sedimentets partikelstorleksammansättning och rekrytering av flodpärlmussla samt mellan finsedimentets organiska sammansättning och rekrytering av musslor. Studien visar en signifikant skillnad i organiskt finsediment mellan icke-rekryteringsplatser och platser med rekrytering där rekryteringsplatser hade högre procentuell andel organiskt finsediment. En signifikant skillnad påvisades också mellan andel finsediment per sedimentprov där sedimentprov från icke-rekryteringsplatser innehöll en högre procentuell andel finsediment. Förutom gällande finsediment påvisades ingen signifikant skillnad i sedimentets storleksdistribution mellan rekryterings- och icke-rekryteringsplatser.

Biology
Ph.D.
Environmental heterogeneity in both space and time has significant repercussions for community structure and ecosystem processes. Dimictic lakes provide examples of vertically structured ecosystems that oscillate between stable and mixed thermal layers on a seasonal basis. Vertical patterns in abiotic conditions vary during both states, but with differing degrees of variation. For example, during summer thermal stratification there is high spatial heterogeneity in temperature, nutrients, dissolved oxygen and photosynthetically active radiation. The breakdown of stratification and subsequent mixing of the water column in fall greatly reduces the stability of the water column to a vertical gradient in light. Nutrients and biomass that were otherwise constrained to the depths are also suspended, leading to a boom in productivity. Freshwater lakes are teeming with microbial diversity that responds to the dynamic environment in a seemingly predictable manner. Although such patterns have been well studied for nanoplanktonic phototrophic and heterotrophic populations, less work has been done to integrate the influence of mixotrophic nutrition to the protistan assemblage. Phagotrophy by phytoplankton increases the complexity of nutrient and energy flow due to their dual functioning as producers and consumers. The role of mixotrophs in freshwater planktonic communities also varies depending on the relative balance between taxon-specific utilization of carbon and energy sources that ranges widely between phototrophy and heterotrophy. Therefore, the role of mixotrophy in the microbial food web is difficult to predict because functional types of mixotrophs along a gradient of nutritional strategies contribute differently to nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration. The overall objective of this work was to advance existing knowledge of the abundance and activity of phagotrophy phytoplankton in lacustrine systems. The incorporation of mixotrophy into the microbial food web requires the complement of physiological studies in culture (as described in chapter 2) and quantification of activity (including abundance and bacterivory) in relation to strict phototrophs and heterotrophs in situ (as described in chapter 3 and 4). Information on the physiological ecology of mixotrophic protists is crucial to understanding their role in planktonic food webs and influence on the dynamic microbial community structure in lake ecosystems. An understanding of the ecological functioning of lakes has ultimate consequences for management of water resources, particularly in the face of global climate change.

Abstract:

Storvuxna musslor i sötvatten (stormusslor) kan ha drabbats av en allvarlig tillbakagång i såväl Sverige som hela världen. Tidigare undersökningar i Sverige och andra delar av världen visar på en kraftig tillbakagång och brist på en fungerande föryngring hos arterna flodpärlmussla (Margaritifera margaritifera) och tjockskalig målarmussla (Unio crassus). I tidigare undersökningar i Sverige har fokus främst varit att försöka kartera arternas förekomst och utbredning, men inte dess föryngring. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka föryngringen av samtliga arter stormusslor i vattensystemen Tidan, Lidan och Mariedalsån i Västra Götalands län. Sju lokaler valdes selektivt ut för att representera några av de bästa i de tre vattensystemen. Inventeringen utfördes främst med vattenkikare men även med luther- räfsa. Sedimentprov utfördes i lokalerna för undersökning av juvenila musslor. Musslorna räknades, artbestämdes, mättes och åldersbestämdes utifrån räknade vinterringar på skalen. Resultatet i studien pekar på att föryngringen är mycket dålig i flertalet lokaler även hos vanligt förekommande arter i landet som allmän dammussla (Anodonta anatina) och spetsig målarmussla (Unio tumidus). Förekomsten av arter stormusslor i lokalerna är dålig och tyder på relativt artfattiga vatten i Tidan, Lidan och Mariedalsån. Då de inventerade lokalerna ska representera några av de bästa i de tre vattensystemen är resultaten på föryngringen i vattendragen mycket oroväckande. Fortsatta studier bör göras på föryngringen i vattendragen för samtliga arter stormusslor i Västra Götalands län, nationellt och internationellt.


Freshwater mussels (Unionoida) may have been substantially reduced in Sweden as well as the whole world. Earlier studies show that the species Margaritifera margaritifera and Unio crassus has been substantially reduced and there are several localities with no reproduction in Sweden and in several other parts of the world. Other species of freshwater mussels in Sweden have not been studied very much and the focus of studies in Sweden has been on the species existence, not their reproduction. The purpose with this study is to examine the existence of reproduction of different kind of freshwater mussels in the water systems Tidan, Lidan and Mariedalsån in Sweden. Seven localities were choosing selective for the study to represent some of the best localities in the water systems. The freshwater mussels were studied on the bottom and in the sediment. The lengths of mussels were measured and the winter rings were counted to estimate the age of the mussels. The result of this study point on a very bad reproduction in several localities even with the most common species in Sweden and the diversity of species are low in the water systems Tidan, Lidan and Mariedalsån. These localities were supposed to represent some of the best localities in the water systems and because of that the result of the bad reproduction is very concerning. More studies of the reproduction of freshwater mussels even the more common species is recommended in Sweden and other countries of the world.

Abstract:
The purpose of this publication is to summarize the state of knowledge on the effects of environmental variability and climate change for individual species and stocks based on literature review, giving species-climate information for 32 key taxa in Swedish marine and coastal waters. The report is written in English. The extent and scale of recent changes in climate due to global warming is unprecedented and causes increasing effects on ecosystems. In oceans, ongoing warming leads to, for example, increased water temperatures, decreased ice cover and effects on hydrology and water circulation patterns that can in turn influence salinity. The environmental alterations affect species distribution, biology, and hence also the delivery of marine ecosystem services and human well-being. The results of this review on the effects of environmental variability and climate change on marine taxa are presented as species-climate information sheets designed in a user-friendly format aimed to enhance accessibility for professionals spanning different fields and roles, including e.g. scientific experts, NGOs affiliates and managers. The species-climate information sheets presented here cover 32 key taxa selected among the economically and ecologically most important coastal and marine fish and crustacean species in Swedish waters. The species-wise evaluations show that climate change leads to a wide range of effects on fish, reflecting variations in their biology and physiological tolerances. The review also highlights important data and knowledge gaps for each species and life stage. Despite the high variability and prevailing uncertainties, some general patterns appeared. On a general level, most fish species in Swedish marine and coastal waters are not expected to benefit from climate change, and many risks are identified to their potential for recruitment, growth and development. Boreal, marine and cold-adapted species would be disadvantaged at Swedish latitudes. However, fish of freshwater origin adapted to warmer temperature regimes could benefit to some extent in the Baltic Sea under a warming climate. Freshwater fish could also be benefitted under further decreasing salinity in the surface water in the Baltic Sea. The resulting effects on species will not only depend on the physiological responses, but also on how the feeding conditions for fish, prey availability, the quality of essential fish habitats and many other factors will develop. A wide range of ecological factors decisive for the development of fish communities are also affected by climate change but have not been explored here, where we focused on the direct effects of warming. The sensitivity and resilience of the fish species to climate change will also depend on their present and future health and biological status. Populations exposed to prolonged and intense fishing exploitation, or affected by environmental deterioration will most likely have a lower capacity to cope with climate change effects over time. For both the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, it is important to ensure continued work to update and improve the species-climate information sheets as results from new research become available. It can also be expected that new important and relevant biological information and improved climate scenarios will emerge continuously. Continued work is therefore important to update and refine the species-climate information sheets, help filling in currently identified knowledge gaps, and extend to other species not included here. Moreover, there is need to integrate this type of species-level information into analyses of the effects of climate change at the level of communities and ecosystems to support timely mitigation and adaptation responses to the challenges of the climate change.
