      Copepods of the genus <i>Calanus</i> play a key role in marine food webs as consumers of primary producers and as prey for many commercially important marine species. Within the genus, <i>Calanus glacialis</i> and <i>Calanus finmarchicus</i> are considered indicator species for Arctic and Atlantic waters, respectively, and changes in their distributions are frequently used as a tool to track climate ...

      Planktonic copepods of the genus Calanus play a central role in North Atlantic/Arctic marine food webs. Here, using molecular markers, we redrew the distributional ranges of Calanus species inhabiting the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans and revealed much wider and more broadly overlapping distributions than previously described. The Arctic shelf species, C. glacialis, dominated the zooplankton ...
