Gelatinous zooplankton (GZ), here understood as pelagic cnidarians and ctenophores, are
an important component of marine ecosystems. Their diversity and distribution reflect local …

Genetic and morphological analyses were used to revise historical controversies in
identities of Beroe species in the southern seas of Europe. DNA analyses with ITS …

Increasing heat content, salinity, and velocity of the Atlantic water masses passing northward
through the Fram Strait accelerate the transition of the European Arctic toward more Atlantic …

Zooplankton inhabiting the Hornsund and Kongsfjorden fjords on Spitsbergen (Svalbard)
were investigated in summer 2013. The goal of the study was to determine how the …

Gelatinous zooplankton are useful indicators of climate-driven shifts in the ocean; hence our
study goal was to determine their diversity and distribution in the poorly investigated area of …

Oceanic fronts constitute boundaries between hydrologically distinct water masses and
comprise one of the most productive regions of the world's ocean. Fronts associated with …

Marine invertebrate habitats are experiencing warming, and oceanic carbon dioxide levels
are on the rise. These changes result in shifts in species distributions. Monitoring and …

Appendicularians are one of the most common animals found within zooplankton
assemblages. They play a very important role as filter feeders but are, unfortunately …

Abstract The Arctic Ocean (including sub-Arctic margins) is one of the fastest changing
ecosystems affected by climate change. However, much remains unknown about its …

In autumn 2015, several sources reported observations of large amounts of gelatinous
material in a large north Norwegian fjord system, either caught when trawling for other …
