Rhythms and clocks in marine organisms
The regular movements of waves and tides are obvious representations of the oceans'
rhythmicity. But the rhythms of marine life span across ecological niches and timescales …

[HTML][HTML] In the dark: a review of ecosystem processes during the Arctic polar night
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 …
