For an algal bloom to develop, the growth rate of the bloom‐forming species must exceed
the sum of all loss processes. Among these loss processes, grazing is generally believed to …

Freshwater discharge from glaciers is increasing across the Arctic in response to
anthropogenic climate change, which raises questions about the potential downstream …

This review summarizes evidence that heterotrophic (non-pigmented, phagotrophic)
dinoflagellates are often a significant component of the biomass of phagotrophic protists in …

Microplastics (MPs) are polluting the Arctic, but our understanding of their abundance,
distribution, and sources is limited. This study quantified MPs down to 10 μm in marine …

Acquisition of phototrophy is widely distributed in the eukaryotic tree of life and can involve
algal endosymbiosis or plastid retention from green or red origins. Species with acquired …

The Fram Strait is very important with regard to heat and mass exchange in the Arctic Ocean,
and the large quantities of heat carried north by the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) …

We assessed phytoplankton dynamics and its environmental control across the Canadian
High Arctic (CHA). Environmental (hydrographic, atmospheric, sea ice conditions) and …

Temporal dynamics of the microbial food web in the Barents Sea and adjacent water
masses in the European Arctic are to a large extent unknown. Seasonal variation in stocks …

This paper brings together unpublished historical data sets and published literature to
review the role of climatic, oceanographic and ecological processes in the marine …

The marine ecosystem in Kongsfjorden (79° N), a glacial fjord in Svalbard, is to a large
extent well known with regard to hydrography, mesozooplankton and higher trophic levels …
