Continental slopes–steep regions between the shelf break and abyssal ocean–play key
roles in the climatology and ecology of the Arctic Ocean. Here, through review and …

Despite the ecological importance of microscale (0.01–1 meter) and fine-scale (1 to
hundreds of meters) plankton patchiness, the dimensions and taxonomic identity of patches …

Carbohydrates are chemically and structurally diverse, represent a substantial fraction of
marine organic matter and are key substrates for heterotrophic microbes. Studies on …

The largest contribution of oceanic heat to the Arctic Ocean is the warm Atlantic Water (AW)
inflow through the deep Fram Strait. The AW current also carries Atlantic plankton into the …

Abstract The Barents Sea is a highly productive ecosystem within the Arctic Ocean. The
overall biological productivity in this region relies heavily on the secondary …

Abstract The Barents Sea, as the largest Arctic shelf region with high productivity, supports
vital commercial fisheries. The region's ecosystem is significantly impacted by both warm …

The increasing influence of Atlantic Water (AW) in the Barents Sea, a process known as
“Atlantification”, is gradually decreasing sea ice cover in the region. Ongoing global climate …

Gelatinous zooplankton (GZ), here understood as pelagic cnidarians and ctenophores, are
an important component of marine ecosystems. Their diversity and distribution reflect local …

In many species of marine benthic invertebrates, a planktonic larval phase plays a critical
role in dispersal. Very little is known about the larval biology of most species, however, in …

In order to assess the impact of environmental conditions on marine zooplankton, we
conducted a survey around Novaya Zemlya (NZ), a large archipelago located within the …
