• Energy content of krill and amphipods in the Barents Sea from summer to winter: variation across species and size 

      Nowicki, Robynne; Borgå, Katrine; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Varpe, Øystein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Arctic zooplankton develop large energy reserves, as an adaptation to strong seasonality, making them valuable prey items. We quantified the energy content (kJ g−1 dry weight) of abundant krill (arcto-boreal, Thysanoessa ...
    • Seasonal pollutant levels in littoral high-Arctic amphipods in relation to food sources and terrestrial run-off 

      Skogsberg, Stina Linnea Emelie; Mcgovern, Maeve; Poste, Amanda; Jonsson, Sofi; Arts, Michael T.; Varpe, Øystein; Borgå, Katrine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Increasing terrestrial run-off from melting glaciers and thawing permafrost to Arctic coastal areas is expected to facilitate re-mobilization of stored legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury (Hg), potentially ...
    • Stable isotope ratios of nitrogen and carbon as biomarkers of a vegan diet 

      Dierkes, Jutta; Dietrich, Stefan; Abraham, Klaus; Monien, Bernhard H.; McCann, Adrian; Borgå, Katrine; Weikert, Cornelia (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Purpose Dietary biomarkers can potentially overcome the limitations of self-reported dietary data. While in ecology and archaeology, stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen are widely used as biomarkers, this is not ...

      The Barents Sea is one of the Polar regions where current climate and ecosystem change is most pronounced. Here we review the current state of knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological systems in the Barents Sea. ...
    • Transcriptome responses in copepods Calanus finmarchicus, Calanus glacialis and Calanus hyperboreus exposed to phenanthrene and benzo[a]pyrene 

      Yadetie, Fekadu; Brun, Nadja Rebecca; Giebichenstein, Julia; Dmoch, Katarzyna; Hylland, Ketil; Borgå, Katrine; Karlsen, Odd André; Goksøyr, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Arctic and sub-arctic pelagic organisms can be exposed to effluents and spills from offshore petroleum-related activities and thus it is important to understand how they respond to crude oil related contaminants such as ...
