    • From polar night to midnight sun: Diel vertical migration, metabolism and biogeochemical role of zooplankton in a high Arctic fjord (Kongsfjorden, Svalbard) 

      Darnis, Gérald; Hobbs, Laura; Geoffroy, Maxime; Grenvald, Julie Cornelius; Renaud, Paul; Berge, Jørgen; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Kristiansen, Svein; Daase, Malin; Søreide, Janne; Wold, Anette; Morata, Nathalie; Gabrielsen, Tove M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-24)
      Zooplankton vertical migration enhances the efficiency of the ocean biological pump by translocating carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) below the mixed layer through respiration and excretion at depth. We measured C and N active transport due to diel vertical migration (DVM) in a Svalbard fjord at 79°N. Multifrequency analysis of backscatter data from an Acoustic Zooplankton Fish Profiler moored from January ...

    • In the dark: a review of ecosystem processes during the Arctic polar night 

      Berge, Jørgen; Renaud, Paul; Darnis, Gérald; Cottier, Finlo; Last, Kim; Gabrielsen, Tove M.; Johnsen, Geir; Seuthe, Lena; Weslawski, Jan Marcin; Leu, Eva; Moline, Mark A.; Nahrgang, Jasmine; Søreide, Janne; Varpe, Øystein; Lønne, Ole Jørgen; Daase, Malin; Falk-Petersen, Stig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-28)
      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 though primary production is close to zero, but is rather characterized by a number of processes and interactions yet to be fully understood, including unanticipated high levels of feeding and reproduction in a ...

    • 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 ...

    • Mesopelagic sound scattering layers of the high Arctic: Seasonal variations in biomass, species assemblage, and trophic relationships 

      Geoffroy, Maxime; Daase, Malin; Cusa, Marine Lure Joana; Darnis, Gérald; Graeve, Martin; Santana Hernadez, Nestor; Berge, Jørgen; Renaud, Paul Eric; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Falk-Petersen, Stig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-12)
      Mesopelagic sound scattering layers (SSL) are ubiquitous in all oceans. Pelagic organisms within the SSL play important roles as prey for higher trophic levels and in climate regulation through the biological carbon pump. Yet, the biomass and species composition of SSL in the Arctic Ocean remain poorly documented, particularly in winter. A multifrequency echosounder detected a SSL north of Svalbard, ...

    • Zooplankton assemblages along the North American Arctic: Ecological connectivity shaped by ocean circulation and bathymetry from the Chukchi Sea to Labrador Sea 

      Darnis, Gérald; Geoffroy, Maxime; Dezutter, Thibaud; Aubry, Cyril; Massicotte, Philippe; Brown, Tanya; Babin, Marcel; Cote, David; Fortier, Louis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-09)
      We defined mesozooplankton biogeography in the North American Arctic to elucidate drivers of biodiversity, community structure, and biomass of this key component of the Arctic marine ecosystem. A multivariate analysis identified four mesozooplankton assemblages: Arctic-oceanic, Arctic-shelf, Coastal-Hudson, and Labrador Sea. Bathymetry was a major driver of the distribution of these assemblages. ...
