    • Seasonal dynamics and life histories of three sympatric species of Pseudocalanus in two Svalbard fjords 

      Ershova, Elizaveta A; Nyeggen, Margot U.; Yurikova, Daria A.; Søreide, Janne E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-10)
      Small copepods are the most diverse and numerous group in high-latitude zooplankton, yet our knowledge of important species remains poor because of the difficulties involved in correct species identification. In this study, we use a molecular method of identification, a species-specific polymerase chain reaction, to provide the first description of the seasonal dynamics and life histories of the ...
    • Seasonal riverine inputs may affect diet and mercury bioaccumulation in Arctic coastal zooplankton 

      Carrasco, Nathalie; Mcgovern, Maeve; Evenset, Anita; Søreide, Janne E.; Arts, Michael T.; Jonsson, Sofi; Poste, Amanda Elizabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-06)
      Climate change driven increases in permafrost thaw and terrestrial runoff are expected to facilitate the mobilization and transport of mercury (Hg) from catchment soils to coastal areas in the Arctic, potentially increasing Hg exposure of marine food webs. The main aim of this study was to determine the impacts of seasonal riverine inputs on land-ocean Hg transport, zooplankton diet and Hg bioaccumulation ...
