Understanding the cumulative effects of multiple stressors is a research priority in
environmental science. Ecological models are a key component of tackling this challenge …

The aim of this work is to present the food web models developed using the Ecopath with
Ecosim (EwE) software tool to describe structure and functioning of various European …

Simple Summary Bryozoans are colonial organisms that are usually found attached to solid
substrata. They are known to be common components of benthic communities from the …

Numerical models of ecological systems are increasingly used to address complex
environmental and resource management questions. One challenge for scientists …

Arctic sea ice extent in September (when it is at its lowest) has declined 13% per decade
and the Arctic Ocean is becoming a more Atlantic influenced system. Rapid climate-forced …

Downscaling physical forcing from global climate models is both time consuming and labor
demanding and can delay or limit the physical forcing available for regional marine …

Polar cod (Boreogadus saida) is an important trophic link within Arctic marine food webs and
is likely to experience diet shifts in response to climate change. One important tool for …

Climate change affects ecosystems at several levels: by altering the spatial distribution of
individual species, by locally rewiring interspecific interactions, and by reorganizing trophic …

We built a dynamic, spatial food web model for the Barents Sea, developed with Ecospace
by including species' habitat requirements and ecological interactions. The model was used …

While ecosystem-based fisheries management calls for explicit accounting for interactions
between exploited populations and their environment, moving from single species to …
