The adaptive significance of chromatophores in the Arctic under-ice amphipod Apherusa glacialis
Fuhrmann, Mona Maria; Nygård, Henrik Andreas; Krapp, Rupert; Berge, Jørgen; Werner, Iris (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)Solar radiation is a crucial factor governing biological processes in polar habitats. Containing harmful ultraviolet radiation (UVR), it can pose a threat for organisms inhabiting surface waters of polar oceans. The present study investigated the physiological color change in the obligate sympagic amphipod Apherusa glacialis mediated by red-brown chromatophores, which cover the body and internal ... -
The role of the invasive red king crab in the food web of a high-latitude fjord Studying macrobenthic communities and trophic control in Porsangerfjord, northern Norway
Fuhrmann, Mona Maria (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-11-24)Biological invasions are a major challenge facing coastal waters and increasingly threaten high-latitude environments. The red king crab is one of the world’s largest decapods and was introduced into the Barents Sea in the 1960s. It has since become a valuable fishery resource in Russian and Norwegian waters. In the early 2000s, red king crabs entered Porsangerfjord, which now holds one of the ...
