"Zooplankton consitute the link between phytoplankton and larger organisms such as fish in the marine food web and are essential for its functioning. Actually, copepods are some of the most numerous organisms on earth and"
Kom förbi och kolla när jag och @jenny_egardt visar plankton och pratar om miljögifter i kustnära miljö på skonaren Kvartsita!🧫🔬 Vi är i Stenungsund (11/8) och Marstrand (12/8). #västerhavsveckan@goteborgsuni https://t.co/FNrLQFjvga
We also found that zooplankton diversity was affected uniquely depending on if the contaminants were in a mixture or not. However, we only detected effects above environmental concentrations.
I recently published the second chapter of my thesis, where we looked at effects of marine contaminants on zooplankton diversity and reproduction

We found that among marine contaminants detected near Stenungsund (area with many industries), the phthalate DBP and the surfactant SDS were drivers of toxicity. Phthalates are additives in plastic that makes them more flexible and surfactants are common ingredients in detergents
Krav på sänkta svavelutsläpp har fått rederier världen över att installera rökgasrening. Men forskning från IVL och @Norsk Polar visar att skrubbersystemen skadar viktiga djurplankton. Föroreningar som skulle hamnat i luften släpps nu ut i havet istället. https://t.co/NWcQP44PTA
Please RT! We are looking for an expert in Arctic bryophyte and lichen identification to help with surveys in Svalbard and/or Arctic Sweden for ~1 month this summer. Please get in touch for more info or apply (link below)!
The US election is tomorrow. If you, like me, are tired of horse-race-style reporting, and need to zoom out, I wanna tell you a story. It’s about an ancient force influencing the election. And, as a bonus, it’ll give you an Easter egg to watch for as the returns come in. THREAD
My very first publication is out! 📝📊 We compared toxicities of an MGO and a hybrid fuel (low-sulphur fuels). The hybrid fuel contained more toxic #PAHs and affected #marine#zooplankton below spill concentrations
