      Søreide, Janne; Dmoch, Katarzyna; Blachowiak-Samolyk, Katarzyna; Trudnowska, Emilia; Daase, Malin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-11)
      Seasonal patterns in mesozooplankton composition, vertical distribution, and timing of reproduction are challenging to study in the open sea due to ocean currents and mix of populations of different origins. Sill fjords, on the other hand, with restricted water exchange, are ideal locations for studying taxa- and community-specific adaptations to the prevailing environment. Here, we present ...
    • Seasonality of occurrence and recruitment of Arctic marine benthic invertebrate larvae in relation to environmental variables

      The Arctic system is one of the regions most influenced by ongoing global climate change, but there are still critical gaps in our knowledge regarding a substantial number of biological processes. This is especially true for processes taking place during the Arctic winter but also for seasonal processes, such as the dynamics of intra-annual meroplankton occurrence. Here, we report on a ...
    • Zooplankton communities associated with new and regenerated primary production in the Atlantic inflow north of Svalbard 

      Svensen, Camilla; Halvorsen, Elisabeth; Vernet, Maria; Franzè, Gayantonia; Dmoch, Katarzyna; Lavrentyev, Peter J.; Kwasniewski, Slawomir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-05)
      The Arctic Ocean is changing rapidly with respect to ice cover extent and volume, growth season duration and biological production. Zooplankton are important components in the arctic marine food web, and tightly coupled to the strong seasonality in primary production. In this study, we investigate zooplankton composition, including microzooplankton, copepod nauplii, as well as small and large copepod ...
