Fungi have evolved mechanisms to function in the harsh conditions of the Arctic Ocean and
its adjacent seas. Despite the ecological and industrial potential of these fungi and the …

The ecology and distribution of green phytoplankton (Chlorophyta) in the ocean is poorly
known because most studies have focused on groups with large cell size such as diatoms or …

Protist community composition and seasonal dynamics are of major importance for the
production of higher trophic levels, such as zooplankton and fish. Our aim was to reveal how …

Sea ice is a critical component of the Earth's Climate System and a unique habitat. Sea-ice
changes prior to the satellite era are poorly documented, and proxy methods are needed to …

Fungi are important parasites of primary producers and nutrient cyclers in aquatic
ecosystems. In the Pacific‐Arctic domain, fungal parasitism is linked to light intensities and …

Mamiellophyceae (unicellular green algae) are a key phytoplankton group in coastal waters.
Although extensively studied over the last 20 years, the overall oceanic distribution of the …

The dinoflagellate lineage Syndiniales currently consists entirely of parasitic species that fall
into five well‐supported clades. Environmental sequencing studies worldwide have found …

Microalgae in the division Haptophyta play key roles in the marine ecosystem and in global
biogeochemical processes. Despite their ecological importance, knowledge on seasonal …

Seventy‐five diatom strains isolated from the Beaufort Sea (Canadian Arctic) in the summer
of 2009 were characterized by light and electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), as well as 18S …

Amplicon read sequencing has revolutionized the field of microbial diversity studies. The
technique has been developed for bacterial assemblages and has undergone rigorous …
