Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among
zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter‐term diel vertical …

The growth of phytoplankton at high latitudes was generally thought to begin in open waters
of the marginal ice zone once the highly reflective sea ice retreats in spring, solar elevation …

Marine ecosystems at high latitudes are characterized by extreme seasonal changes in light
conditions, as well as a limited period of high primary production during spring and early …

Temporal and spatial dynamics of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the Barents Sea have
been investigated during the last three decades using remote sensing and in situ …

Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) is the most abundant forage fish in the Arctic Ocean. Here we
review Arctic cod habitats, distribution, ecology, and physiology to assess how climate …

Several recent lines of evidence indicate that the polar night is key to understanding Arctic
marine ecosystems. First, the polar night is not a period void of biological activity even …

Abstract The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) of the Arctic Ocean is changing rapidly due to a
warming Arctic climate with commensurate reductions in sea ice extent and thickness. This …

In a warmer Arctic with less sea ice and stronger stratification, the environmental changes
are expected to impact the pelagic food web, but few biological studies supporting this exist …

Seasonality creates a template for many natural processes and evolutionary adaptations.
Organisms are often faced with an annual cycle consisting of a productive (favorable) and …

Abstract The central Arctic Ocean is not isolated, but tightly connected to the northern Pacific
and Atlantic Oceans. Advection of nutrient-, detritus-and plankton-rich waters into the Arctic …
