      Stasko, Ashley D; Bluhm, Bodil; Michel, Christine; Archambault, Philippe; Majewski, Andrew; Reist, James D; Swanson, Heidi; Power, Michael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-26)
      Understanding drivers of benthic-pelagic coupling in Arctic marine ecosystems is key to identifying benthic areas that may be sensitive to climate-driven changes in hydrography and surface production. We coupled algal biomass and sedimentary characteristics with stable isotope data for 113 fishes and invertebrates in the Canadian Beaufort Sea and Amundsen Gulf to examine how trophic structure was ...

      In the Arctic, sea ice loss has already transformed the dominant sources and periodicity of primary production in some areas, raising concerns over climate change impacts on benthic communities. Considered to be excellent indicators of environmental changes, benthic invertebrates play important roles in nutrient cycling, sediment oxygenation and decomposition. However, this biological component ...
