Toxoplasma gondii in the Subarctic and Arctic
The coccidian protozoan Toxoplasma gondii has a world-wide distribution. It causes toxoplasmosis, a potentially very serious disease to humans and other warm-blooded animals. Infection has in many studies been shown to be rather common in the Nordic countries also, where its prevalence both in domestic animals and wildlife can be explained by contacts with cats and their faeces, cats and wild f...
متن کاملMarine Ecology: A Wonderland of Marine Activity in the Arctic Night
Studies carried out on a wide variety of Arctic species during the polar night reveal continued feeding, growth and reproduction, changing our view of this period from one of biological stasis to a time of continued high activity levels.
متن کاملEnvironmental Radiocesium in Subarctic and Arctic Alaska Following Chernobyl
Radiocesium ('34Cs and '37Cs) concentrations were measured in soil, plant and wildlife samples from subarctic to arctic Alaska. Concentrations of 13'Cs ranged from below detectable or low levels in whale and fish samples to as high as 242 Bqkg in lichen. For all potential human food items, the radiocesium concentrations measured in this study were below accepted permissible levels for human con...
متن کاملPliocene palaeoceanography of the Arctic Ocean and subarctic seas.
The Pliocene is important in the geological evolution of the high northern latitudes. It marks the transition from restricted local- to extensive regional-scale glaciations on the circum-Arctic continents between 3.6 and 2.4Ma. Since the Arctic Ocean is an almost land-locked basin, tectonic activity and sea-level fluctuations controlled the geometry of ocean gateways and continental drainage sy...
متن کاملPhytoplankton ecology of subarctic lakes in Finnish Lapland
The climate is warming and it is most noticeable in the arctic and subarctic areas, where the warming trend is expected to be the greatest. Arctic and subarctic freshwater ecosystems, which are a very characteristic feature of the northern landscape, are especially sensitive to climate change. They could be used as early warning systems, but more information about the ecosystem functioning and ...
