Overview

Sture Hansson is affiliated with Stockholm University in Sweden and specializes in Environmental Science, with a focus on subfields including Nature and Landscape Conservation, Ecology, Global and Planetary Change, Oceanography, and Genetics. Their research primarily addresses topics related to Fish Ecology and Management Studies, Isotope Analysis in Ecology, Marine and fisheries research, Aquatic Invertebrate Ecology and Behavior, Marine and coastal ecosystems, Genetic diversity and population structure, and Wildlife Ecology and Conservation.

Among the recent scholarly works authored by Sture Hansson are:

  • Climate effects on zooplankton biomasses in a coastal Baltic Sea area (2024, Helda (University of Helsinki))
  • Habitat modifications from coastal development in a Baltic Sea archipelago - Impact on fish, primarily on eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) (2022, Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science)
  • Yolk-Sac-Fry Mortality (M74) In Baltic Sea Salmon (Salmo Salar L.): Analyses Of Its Relation To The Diet (2024, OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University))

Additionally, there are related publications in venues where Hansson has not been the lead author but are relevant to the research context:

  • Benthic habitat is an integral part of freshwater Mysis ecology (2020, Freshwater Biology)
  • Status and vertical size-distributions of a pelagic mysid community in the northern Baltic proper (2024, Helda (University of Helsinki))

Sture Hansson has collaborated repeatedly with several researchers, with frequent co-authors including:

  • Ulf Larsson
  • Jason D. Stockwell
  • Brian P. O'Malley
  • Rosaura J. Chapina
  • Lars G. Rudstam

The scientist's publication record shows a concentration of articles in specific venues such as Helda (University of Helsinki), which accounts for multiple papers, alongside other journals including Freshwater Biology, Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science, and OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University).

Hansson's work contributes to understanding ecological dynamics in marine and freshwater environments, specifically focusing on the impacts of environmental changes on aquatic species and habitat structures.
