    Seasonal variability in the grazing potential of the invasive amphipod Gammarus tigrinus and the native amphipod Gammarus salinus (Amphipoda: Crustacea) in the northern Baltic Sea

    Mesograzers are known to reduce the biomass of their host plant and modify the structure of the whole macrophyte community in many ecosystems. Thus, the introduction of an efficient mesograzer may destabilize ...

    Response of zoobenthic communities to changing eutrophication in the northern Baltic Sea

    The relationships between the concentration of water nutrients and the biomass of benthic invertebrate feeding guilds were examined at 46 sites in the northern Baltic Sea during 1993–2003. We analysed whether ...

    Ecological consequences of biological invasions: three invertebrate case studies in the north-eastern Baltic Sea

    Population dynamics and ecological impacts of the cirriped Balanus improvisus, the polychaete Marenzelleria neglecta and the cladoceran Cercopagis pengoi were investigated in the north-eastern Baltic Sea. After a...

    Distribution and population characteristics of the alien talitrid amphipod Orchestia cavimana in relation to environmental conditions in the Northeastern Baltic Sea

    The talitrid amphipods were found for the first time in the Northeastern Baltic Sea in 1999. Orchestia cavimana inhabited damp wracks cast up on shore within a 200 m area of Saaremaa Island. In the following year...

    Factors controlling long-term changes of the eutrophicated ecosystem of Pärnu Bay, Gulf of Riga

    Phytoplankton, mesozooplankton, mysids and fish larvae were studied during 15–29 annual cycles measured weekly to monthly in Pärnu Bay, the Gulf of Riga. The monthly variability of the biological data was rela...
