      Climate changes in the Arctic are predicted to alter distributions of marine species. However, such changes are difficult to quantify because information on present species distribution and the genetic variation within species is lacking or poorly examined. Blue mussels, Mytilus spp., are ecosystem engineers in the coastal zone globally. To improve knowledge of distribution and genetic structure of ...
    • Macroalgae contribute to nested mosaics of pH variability in a subarctic fjord 

      Krause-Jensen, Dorte; Duarte, Carlos M.; Hendriks, Iris E.; Meire, L; Blicher, M.E.; Marba, Nuria; Sejr, Mikael K (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-19)
      The Arctic Ocean is considered the most vulnerable ecosystem to ocean acidification, and large-scale assessments of pH and the saturation state for aragonite (Ωarag) have led to the notion that the Arctic Ocean is already close to a corrosive state. In high-latitude coastal waters the regulation of pH and Ωarag is, however, far more complex than offshore because increased biological activity and ...
