      Weydmann-Zwolicka, Agata; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Berge, Jørgen; Majaneva, Sanna; Kuklinski, Piotr; Zwolicki, Adrian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-08)
      Knowledge of environmental preferences of the key planktonic species, such as Calanus copepods in the Arctic, is crucial to understand ecosystem function and its future under climate change. Here, we assessed the environmental conditions influencing the development stages of Atlantic Calanus finmarchicus and Arctic Calanus glacialis, and we quantified the extent to which their niches overlap by ...
    • Zooplankton and sediment fluxes in two contrasting fjords reveal Atlantification of the Arctic

      Svalbard fjords are facing a significant increase in Atlantic water inflow, which influences all ecosystem components, thus the objective of this study was to assess how recent Atlantification impacts the functioning of zooplankton community. For this purpose, two year-round operating sediment traps and associated hydrographic instruments, providing continuous time series of zooplankton and sediment ...
