Seasonally Resolved Ecophysiology of Arctic Marine Phytoplankton in Kongsfjorden

Phytoplankton are key drivers of complex interactions between biology, geochemistry, and climate. Temperature plays an important role in phytoplankton metabolism which has direct effects on biogeochemical cycling under global warming. The Arctic is warming more than twice as fast as the global av...

Cues for and synchrony of reproductive behaviour in an extreme long-distance migrant

Successful reproduction in migratory species, especially in species that breed in sites with strong seasonal reproductivity, is determined by three key aspects: (1) arrival timing at the breeding site, (2) synchrony in arrival timing, and (3) state of the environment at time of arrival. We aim to...
