Abstract The Southern Ocean, although relatively understudied owing to its harsh
environment and geographical isolation, has been shown to contribute substantially to …

Global warming in ocean ecosystems alters temperature, acidification, oxygen content,
circulation, stratification, and nutrient inputs. Microorganisms play a dominant role in global …

Atmospheric deposition of mercury onto sea ice and circumpolar sea water provides
mercury for microbial methylation, and contributes to the bioaccumulation of the potent …

Abstract The west Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region has undergone significant changes in
temperature and seasonal ice dynamics since the mid-twentieth century, with strong impacts …

Phaeocystis is a cosmopolitan, bloom-forming phytoplankton genus that contributes
significantly to global carbon and sulfur cycles. During blooms, Phaeocystis species produce …

Seasonal cycles within the marginal ice zones in polar regions include large shifts in
temperature and salinity that strongly influence microbial abundance and physiology …

An inherent issue in high-throughput rRNA gene tag sequencing microbiome surveys is that
they provide compositional data in relative abundances. This often leads to spurious …

Abstract The Norwegian aquaculture of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) is hampered by
ulcerative disorders associated with bacterial infections. Chronic ulceration may provide …

Abstract The Amundsen Sea Polynya is experiencing large increases in glacial meltwater
input and hosts an extremely productive and long-lasting summer phytoplankton bloom …

Warming at nearly twice the global rate, higher than average air temperatures are the new
'normal'for Arctic ecosystems. This rise in temperature has triggered hydrological and …
