Project description
Future climate scenarios predict increasing surface temperatures, decreased salinity, and changes in wind-driven upwelling in the Baltic Sea that will likely induce significant changes in coastal fish communities. The communities may change because of immigrating, alien species but also by migration of freshwater species that may invade and thrive in the fresher, warmer Baltic Sea. We are seeking a PhD student for a project examining (potential) invasive fish species to the Baltic Sea. The project also includes investigating intra-specific adaptive genetic differences along a north-south gradient. The work will include a combination of laboratory experiments and field studies. Ecological and molecular tools will be used. This study is part of a larger multidisciplinary project that seeks to understand coastal fish ecology communities within a climate change perspective.
The research will be conducted in collaboration with other scientists within the framework of the Strong Research Environment ECOCHANGE and the Centre for Ecology and Evolution in Microbial model Systems (EEMiS) within Linnaeus University that comprises expertise in ecology, evolution, and microbiology.
