Ongoing climate warming is causing a dramatic loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, and it is
projected that the Arctic Ocean will become seasonally ice-free by 2040. Many studies of …

Abstract The Arctic Ocean is overwhelmingly forced by its lateral boundaries, and interacts
with, the global system. For the development of nested conceptual models of the Arctic …

Keystones are defined as relatively low biomass species with a structuring role in their food
webs. Thus, identifying keystone species in a given ecosystem may be formulated as:(1) …

As human activities intensify, the structures of ecosystems and their food webs often
reorganize. Through the study of mesocosms harboring a diverse benthic coastal …

There are indications that pelagic cnidarians and ctenophores ('jellyfish') have increased in
abundance throughout the world, or that outbreaks are more frequent, although much …

We performed a global assessment of how fish biomass has changed over the last 100 yr,
applying a previously developed methodology using ecological modeling. Our assessment …

The temporal and spatial dynamics of primary and secondary biomass/production in the
Barents Sea since the late 1990s are examined using remote sensing data, observations …

Exploited ecosystems are characterised by exports of secondary production from each
fished trophic level that reduce the energy available for upper levels at the ecosystem scale …

The development of an ecosystem approach is essential to improve understanding of the
nature and dynamics of exploited marine ecosystems and the complexity of species …

Emerging fishing activity due to melting ice and poleward species distribution shifts in the
rapidly‐warming Arctic Ocean challenges transboundary management and requires …
