      Bluhm, Bodil; Janout, Markus; Danielson, Seth L.; Ellingsen, Ingrid H.; Gavrilo, Maria; Grebmeier, Jaqueline; Hopcroft, Russell R.; Iken, Katrin; Ingvaldsen, Randi Brunvær; Jørgensen, Lis Lindal; Kosobokova, Ksenia N.; Kwok, Ron; Polyakov, Igor V.; Renaud, Paul E.; Carmack, Eddy C. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      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 synthesis, we find that the narrow slope regions ...
    • Genetics redraws pelagic biogeography of Calanus 

      Choquet, Marvin Raoul Charles Roger Ren; Haltebakk, Maja; Dhanasiri, Anusha Krishanthi Shyama; Kosobokova, Ksenia N.; Smolina, Irina Vladimirovna; Søreide, Janne; Svensen, Camilla; Melle, Webjørn Raunsgård; Kwasniewski, Slawomir; Eiane, Ketil; Daase, Malin; Tverberg, Vigdis; Skreslet, Stig; Bucklin, Ann; Hoarau, Galice Guillaume (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      Planktonic copepods of the genus Calanus play a central role in North Atlantic/Arctic marine food webs. Here, using molecular markers, we redrew the distributional ranges of Calanus species inhabiting the North Atlantic ...
    • Sea ice decline drives biogeographical shifts of key Calanus species in the central Arctic Ocean 

      Ershova, Elizaveta A.; Kosobokova, Ksenia N.; Banas, Neil S.; Ellingsen, Ingrid; Niehoff, Barbara; Hildebrandt, Nicole; Hirche, Hans-Juergen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In recent decades, the central Arctic Ocean has been experiencing dramatic decline in sea ice coverage, thickness and extent, which is expected to have a tremendous impact on all levels of Arctic marine life. Here, we ...
    • Toward a global reference database of COI barcodes for marine zooplankton. 

      Bucklin, Ann; Peijnenburg, Katja T. C. A.; Kosobokova, Ksenia N.; O’Brien, Todd; Blanco-Bercial, Leocadio; Cornils, Astrid; Falkenhaug, Tone; Hopcroft, Russ; Hosia, Aino Laila Johanna; Laakmann, Silke; Li, Chaolun; Martell, Luis; Questel, Jennifer M.; Wall-Palmer, Deborah; Wang, Minxiao; Wiebe, Peter H.; Weydmann-Zwolicka, Agata (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Characterization of species diversity of zooplankton is key to understanding, assessing, and predicting the function and future of pelagic ecosystems throughout the global ocean. The marine zooplankton assemblage, including ...
