    • Diversity and Distribution of Meroplanktonic Larvae in the Pacific Arctic and Connectivity With Adult Benthic Invertebrate Communities 

      Ershova, Elizaveta; Descôteaux, Raphaëlle; Wangensteen, Owen; Iken, Katrin; Hopcroft, Russ; Smoot, Caitlin; Grebmeier, Jacqueline M.; Bluhm, Bodil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-13)
      Pelagic larval stages (meroplankton) of benthic invertebrates seasonally make up a significant proportion of planktonic communities, as well as determine the distribution of their benthic adult stages, yet are frequently overlooked by both plankton and benthic studies. Within the Arctic, the role of meroplanktonic larvae may be particularly important in regions of inflow from sub-Arctic regions, ...

    • Meroplankton Diversity, Seasonality and Life-History Traits Across the Barents Sea Polar Front Revealed by High-Throughput DNA Barcoding 

      Descôteaux, Raphaëlle; Ershova, Elizaveta; Wangensteen, Owen S.; Præbel, Kim; Renaud, Paul Eric; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Bluhm, Bodil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-28)
      In many species of marine benthic invertebrates, a planktonic larval phase plays a critical role in dispersal. Very little is known about the larval biology of most species, however, in part because species identification has historically been hindered by the microscopic size and morphological similarity among related taxa. This study aimed to determine the taxonomic composition and seasonal ...

    • Meroplankton on Arctic inflow shelves: Diversity, seasonality and origins of benthic invertebrate larvae on the Barents and Chukchi shelves 

      Descôteaux, Raphaëlle (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-10-05)
      Planktonic early life stages of marine benthic invertebrates play an important role in dispersal and at times represent a substantial proportion of the zooplankton. Information about the larval communities present on the Arctic inflow shelves of the Barents and Chukchi Seas, however, is incomplete and limited because of infrequent sampling and low resolution of identification. The aims of the work ...
