• Increased functional diversity warns of ecological transition in the Arctic 

      Frainer, André; Primicerio, Raul; Dolgov, Andrey V.; Fossheim, Maria; Johannesen, Edda; Lind, Sigrid; Aschan, Michaela (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      As temperatures rise, motile species start to redistribute to more suitable areas, potentially affecting the persistence of several resident species and altering biodiversity and ecosystem functions. In the Barents Sea, a ...
    • Large-scale patterns in community structure of benthos and fish in the Barents Sea 

      Johannesen, Edda; Jørgensen, Lis Lindal; Fossheim, Maria; Primicerio, Raul; Greenacre, Michael; Ljubin, Pavel A.; Dolgov, Andrey V.; Ingvaldsen, Randi; Anisimova, Natalya A.; Manushin, Igor E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-23)
      Biogeographical patterns have an ecological basis, but few empirical studies possess the necessary scale and resolution relevant for investigation. The Barents Sea shelf provides an ideal study area, as it is a transition ...
    • Latitudinally distinct stocks of Atlantic cod face fundamentally different biophysical challenges under on-going climate change 

      Kjesbu, Olav Sigurd; Alix, Maud; Sandø, Anne Britt; Strand, Espen; Wright, Peter J.; Johns, David G.; Thorsen, Anders; Marshall, C. Tara; Bakkeplass, Kjell Gunnar; Vikebø, Frode Bendiksen; Myksvoll, Mari Skuggedal; Ottersen, Geir; Allan, Bridie Jean Marie; Fossheim, Maria; Stiansen, Jan Erik; Huse, Geir; Sundby, Svein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The reproductive success of marine ectotherms is especially vulnerable in warming oceans due to alterations in adult physiology, as well as embryonic and larval survival prospects. These vital responses may, however, differ ...

    • Spatial variation and structural change of the Barents Sea fish community 

      Fossheim, Maria; Johannesen, Edda; Primicerio, Raul; Aschan, Michaela (ICES CM documents;2009/ E:21, Working paper, 2009)
      We document the spatial patterns found in the Barents Sea fish community in relation to environmental parameters, analysing data from the ecosystem surveys covering the Norwegian part of the Barents Sea during 2004-2008 ...
    • Successive extreme climatic events lead to immediate, large-scale, and diverse responses from fish in the Arctic 

      Husson, Berengere; Lind, Sigrid; Fossheim, Maria; Solvang, Hiroko Kato; Skern-Mauritzen, Mette; Pecuchet, Laurene; Ingvaldsen, Randi Brunvær; Dolgov, Andrey V.; Primicerio, Raul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The warming trend of the Arctic is punctuated by several record-breaking warm years with very low sea ice concentrations. The nature and reversibility of marine ecosystem responses to these multiple extreme climatic events ...
