Diel vertical migration of Arctic zooplankton during the polar night

TL;DR: It is argued that even during the polar night, DVM is regulated by diel variations in solar and lunar illumination, which are at intensities far below the threshold of human perception, which suggests that the biologically mediated vertical flux of carbon will increase if there is a continued retreat of the Arctic winter sea ice cover.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vertical migration in high Arctic waters during autumn 2004

TL;DR: The diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton and pelagic fish in the southern Arctic Ocean (82°N) and in Rijpfjorden (Svalbard, Nordaustlandet, 80°N), was investigated in autumn 2004, when there were distinct differences in light conditions between day and night as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential misidentifications of two climate indicator species of the marine arctic ecosystem: Calanus glacialis and C. finmarchicus

TL;DR: Using the traditional morphological species delimitation poses a serious problem in the use of these two species as indicators of Atlantic versus Arctic water masses and thus as climatic indicators, and obscures the understanding of the life history differences between the two species.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Baltic Sea scale inventory of benthic faunal communities

TL;DR: Gogina et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a method for the detection of sea turtles in the waters of the Baltic Sea, which is based on the work of Henrik Nygard and Mats Blomqvist.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonality of occurrence and recruitment of Arctic marine benthic invertebrate larvae in relation to environmental variables

TL;DR: A 1-year study of meroplankton seasonal variability from a fjordic system in the Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard indicates individual trade-offs related to timing of reproduction and competition and suggests that these larvae are not relying on higher summer nutrient concentrations, but instead are dependent on alternative food sources.
