• Can morphology reliably distinguish between the copepods Calanus finmarchicus and C. glacialis, or is DNA the only way?

      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 ...
    • Coastal Polynya Disrupts the Acoustic Backscatter Diurnal Signal Over the Eastern Laptev Sea Shelf 

      Dmitrenko, Igor A.; Petrusevich, Vladislav; Kosobokova, Ksenia; Komarov, Alexander S.; Bouchard, Caroline; Geoffroy, Maxime; Koldunov, Nikolay V.; Babb, David G.; Kirillov, Sergey A.; Barber, David G. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-16)
      The diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is one of the largest species migrations to occur globally and is a key driver of regional ecosystems and the marine carbon pump. The dramatic changes in the Arctic environment in recent years, mainly associated with sea-ice decline, may have wide significance for the Arctic shelf ecosystems including DVM. Observations have revealed the occurrence of ...
    • New insights into the biology of Calanus spp. (Copepoda) males in the Arctic 

      Daase, Malin; Kosobokova, Ksenia; Last, Kim S; Cohen, Jonathan H.; Choquet, Marvin; Hatlebakk, Maja Karoline Viddal; Søreide, Janne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Adult males of <i>Calanus</i> copepods in the Arctic are mainly observed between late autumn and late spring, and are seldom recorded during summer. Due to logistical constraints, there are still relatively few studies on zooplankton in high-latitude regions during the winter, and subsequently, little is known about <i>Calanus</i> males. Here, we present data on abundance, spatial distribution, ...
    • Reduced efficiency of pelagic–benthic coupling in the Arctic deep sea during lower ice cover 

      Zhulay, Irina; Iken, Katrin; Renaud, Paul Eric; Kosobokova, Ksenia; Bluhm, Bodil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-25)
      Pelagic–benthic coupling describes the connection between surface-water production and seafloor habitats via energy, nutrient and mass exchange. Massive ice loss and warming in the poorly studied Arctic Chukchi Borderland are hypothesized to affect this coupling. The strength of pelagic–benthic coupling was compared between 2 years varying in climate settings, 2005 and 2016, based on δ<sup>13</sup>C and ...
    • Towards a unifying pan-arctic perspective: A conceptual modelling toolkit 

      Wassmann, Paul; Carmack, E.; Bluhm, Bodil; Duarte, Carlos M.; Berge, Jørgen; Brown, K.; Grebmeier, Jacqueline M.; Holding, Johnna; Kosobokova, Ksenia; Kwok, R.; Matrai, Patricia A.; Agusti, S.; Babin, Marcel; Bhatt, Uma S.; Eicken, Hajo; Polyakov, Igor V.; Rysgaard, Søren; Huntington, Henry P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-17)
      The Arctic Ocean is overwhelmingly forced by its lateral boundaries, and interacts with, the global system. For the development of nested conceptual models of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem we here choose the full pan-Arctic as our focal scale. Understanding the pan-Arctic scale, however, requires that we look at the underlying scales of its major components, by considering regionality, connectivity and ...
    • What feeds the benthos in the Arctic basins? Assembling a carbon budget for the deep Arctic ocean 

      Wiedmann, Ingrid; Ershova, Elizaveta; Bluhm, Bodil; Nöthig, Eva-Maria; Kosobokova, Ksenia; Boetius, Antje; Gradinger, Rolf R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-16)
      Half of the Arctic Ocean is deep sea (>1000 m), and this area is currently transitioning from being permanently ice-covered to being seasonally ice-free. Despite these drastic changes, it remains unclear how organisms are distributed in the deep Arctic basins, and particularly what feeds them. Here, we summarize data on auto- and heterotrophic organisms in the benthic, pelagic, and sympagic realm ...
