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 …

The northern coast of Svalbard contains high-arctic fjords, such as Rijpfjorden (80° N 22°
30′ E). This area has experienced higher sea and air temperatures and less sea ice in …

Copepods of the genus Calanus have adapted to high levels of seasonality in prey
availability by entering a period of hibernation during winter known as diapause, but …

Pelagic communities play a key role in Arctic ecosystems. Although zooplankton occupy
several different trophic levels in the food chain, their primary niche is often considered that …

The calanoid copepod Calanus glacialis dominates the mesozooplankton biomass in the
Arctic shelf seas, but its smaller North Atlantic sibling Calanus finmarchicus is expanding …

Recent observations from high-latitude marine ecosystems indicate that non-consumptive
mortality may be particularly high in Arctic zooplankton during the polar night. Here we have …

The traditional view is that the Arctic polar night is a quiescent period for marine life, but
recent reports of high levels of feeding and reproduction in both pelagic and benthic taxa …

The Barents Sea is a hotspot for environmental change due to its rapid warming, and
information on dietary preferences of zooplankton is crucial to better understand the impacts …

We present a large-scale survey of mesozooplankton (size range 0.2–20 mm) across
coastal, shelf, and slope locations in Northeast Greenland (latitudes 74–79° N, August 2015 …

In the Arctic shelf seas, the mesozooplankton biomass is dominated by the arctic copepod
Calanus glacialis, but its boreal congeneric C. finmarchicus is expanding northwards. Even …
