• Changes in Sea-Ice Protist Diversity With Declining Sea Ice in the Arctic Ocean From the 1980s to 2010s 

      Hop, Haakon; Vihtakari, Mikko; Bluhm, Bodil; Assmy, Philipp; Poulin, Michel; Gradinger, Rolf; Peeken, Ilka; von Quillfeldt, Cecilie; Olsen, Lasse Mork; Zhitina, Ludmila; Melnikov, Igor A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The large declines in Arctic sea-ice age and extent over the last decades could have altered the diversity of sea-ice associated unicellular eukaryotes (referred to as sea-ice protists). A time series from the Russian ...
    • Ice-Associated Amphipods in a Pan-Arctic Scenario of Declining Sea Ice 

      Hop, Haakon; Vihtakari, Mikko; Bluhm, Bodil; Daase, Malin; Gradinger, Rolf; Melnikov, Igor A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Sea-ice macrofauna includes ice amphipods and benthic amphipods, as well as mysids. Amphipods are important components of the sympagic food web, which is fuelled by the production of ice algae. Data on the diversity of ...
