    • Bioluminescence as an ecological factor during high Arctic polar night 

      Cronin, Heather; Cohen, Jonathan H.; Berge, Jørgen; Johnsen, Geir; Moline, Mark A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Bioluminescence commonly influences pelagic trophic interactions at mesopelagic depths. Here we characterize a vertical gradient in structure of a generally low species diversity bioluminescent community at shallower epipelagic depths during the polar night period in a high Arctic fjord with in situ bathyphotometric sampling. Bioluminescence potential of the community increased with depth to a peak ...

    • Is ambient light during the high Arctic polar night sufficient to act as a visual cue for zooplankton? 

      Cohen, Jonathan H.; Berge, Jørgen; Moline, Mark A.; Sørensen, Asgeir Johan; Last, Kim; Falk-Petersen, Stig; Renaud, Paul; Leu, Eva; Grenvald, Julie Cornelius; Cottier, Finlo; Cronin, Heather; Menze, Sebastian; Norgren, Petter; Varpe, Øystein; Daase, Malin; Darnis, Gérald; Johnsen, Geir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-03)
      The light regime is an ecologically important factor in pelagic habitats, influencing a range of biological processes. However, the availability and importance of light to these processes in high Arctic zooplankton communities during periods of 'complete' darkness (polar night) are poorly studied. Here we characterized the ambient light regime throughout the diel cycle during the high Arctic ...
