• Evolution of the Arctic Calanus complex: an Arctic marine avocado? 

      Berge, Jørgen; Gabrielsen, Tove M; Moline, Mark A.; Renaud, Paul (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Before man hunted the large baleen whales to near extinction by the end of the nineteenth century, Arctic ecosystems were strongly influenced by these large predators. Their main prey were zooplankton, among which the calanoid copepod species of the genus Calanus, long considered key elements of polar marine ecosystems, are particularly abundant. These herbivorous zooplankters display a range of ...
    • Potential misidentifications of two climate indicator species of the marine arctic ecosystem: Calanus glacialis and C. finmarchicus 

      Gabrielsen, Tove M; Merkel, Benjamin; Søreide, Janne; Johansson-Karlsson, Emma; Bailey, Allison; Vogedes, Daniel Ludwig; Nygård, Henrik Andreas; Varpe, Øystein; Berge, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Calanoid copepods of the genus Calanus represent an important, nutrient-rich food source for a multitude of Arctic marine organisms. Although morphologically very similar, their life histories and ecological roles differ. Because the distribution of Calanus glacialis and C. finmarchicus corresponds to Arctic and Atlantic water masses, respectively, they are regularly used as climate indicators. A ...
