*</sup>Jonas S. Gunnarsson has a PhD in environmental sciences and marine ecology at the University of Göteborg. He is now working as a researcher at the Department of Integrative Biology at Berkeley, University of California. His current research topics include ecotoxicological work on the bioavailability and toxicity of contaminants from sediments and suspended matter in the San Francisco Bay.
^**Michael Gilek and Mikael Björk are PhDs at the Department of Systems Ecology, University of Stockholm. They are working with questions concerning bioaccumulation, cycling and effects of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) and radionuclides in coastal ecosystems of the Baltic Sea. Their address: Department of Systems Ecology, Stockholm University, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden. gilek@system.ecology.su.se, mikaelb@system.ecology.su.se
^***Maria E. Granberg is a PhD candidate at the Department of Marine Ecology, University of Göteborg, at the Kristineberg Marine Research Station. Her PhD work focuses on the impact of eutrophication-related changes (trophic status and oxygen tension) on bioavailability and fate of persistent organic pollutants in marine soft bottom communities.
