The polymer-facilitated flux of ice algae on Arctic shelves can initiate benthic activity and
growth after the nutritionally constrained winter period. Lipid-rich ice algae are readily …

Mercury (Hg) is a ubiquitous toxic metal that biomagnifies in food webs, and can reach high
concentrations in top predators. Evaluating Hg biomagnification in Arctic marine food webs …

The winter of 2017/2018 saw a composite of weather events that delayed sea ice formation
in the northern Bering Sea (NBS) into early 2018. Residual warmth in the water column and …

Forecasted increases in terrestrial organic matter (OM terr) inputs to the Arctic Beaufort Sea
necessitate a better understanding of the proportional contribution of this potential food …

Lagoons are a prominent feature of Arctic coastlines, support diverse benthic food webs,
and provide vital feeding grounds for fish, migratory birds, and marine mammals. Across the …

An assessment of the production, distribution and fate of highly branched isoprenoid (HBI)
biomarkers produced by sea ice and pelagic diatoms is necessary to interpret their detection …

Benthic organisms depend primarily on seasonal pulses of organic matter from primary
producers. In the Arctic, declines in sea ice due to warming climate could lead to changes in …

It is predicted that a diverse array of functional traits in species‐rich assemblages can lead to
strong resource partitioning among coexisting species and moderate a wider spectrum of …

Understanding drivers of benthic-pelagic coupling in Arctic marine ecosystems is key to
identifying benthic areas that may be sensitive to climate-driven changes in hydrography …

Macrofauna can contribute substantially to the organic matter cycling on the seafloor, yet the
role of terrestrial and chemosynthetic organic matter in the diets of microphagous (deposit …
