Overview

Britas Klemens Eriksson is affiliated with the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. Their research primarily spans environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with significant work in subfields such as oceanography, ecology, global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, and ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

The scientist's research topics cover various aspects of marine and coastal ecosystems, including marine and coastal plant biology, marine biology and ecology research, marine and fisheries research, coral and marine ecosystems studies, fish ecology and management studies, coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, and marine animal studies overview.

Eriksson has contributed to multiple recent scientific papers, including:

  • A spatial regime shift from predator to prey dominance in a large coastal ecosystem (2020, Communications Biology)
  • Increases of opportunistic species in response to ecosystem change: the case of the Baltic Sea three-spined stickleback (2022, ICES Journal of Marine Science)
  • A Pleistocene legacy structures variation in modern seagrass ecosystems (2022, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • Bioengineering promotes habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity on mussel reefs (2021, Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology)
  • Worldwide Soundscapes: A Synthesis of Passive Acoustic Monitoring Across Realms (2025, Global Ecology and Biogeography)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Eriksson include Johan Eklöf, Ulf Bergström, Laura L. Govers, Joakim P. Hansen, and Göran Sundblad. The scientist has published extensively in several venues, with multiple publications appearing in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Frontiers in Marine Science, Global Ecology and Biogeography, Fisheries Research, and Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science.
