• High abundances of small copepods early developmental stages and nauplii strengthen the perception of a non-dormant Arctic winter 

      Barth-Jensen, Coralie Marie Christine; Daase, Malin; Ormańczyk, M.R.; Varpe, Øystein; Kwaśniewski, Sławomir; Svensen, Camilla (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The traditional view is that the Arctic polar night is a quiescent period for marine life, but recent reports of high levels of feeding and reproduction in both pelagic and benthic taxa have challenged this. We examined ...
    • In the dark: a review of ecosystem processes during the Arctic polar night 

      Berge, Jørgen; Renaud, Paul; Darnis, Gérald; Cottier, Finlo; Last, Kim; Gabrielsen, Tove M.; Johnsen, Geir; Seuthe, Lena; Weslawski, Jan Marcin; Leu, Eva; Moline, Mark A.; Nahrgang, Jasmine; Søreide, Janne; Varpe, Øystein; Lønne, Ole Jørgen; Daase, Malin; Falk-Petersen, Stig (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-28)
      Several recent lines of evidence indicate that the polar night is key to understanding Arctic marine ecosystems. First, the polar night is not a period void of biological activity even though primary production is close ...
    • Mesozooplankton distribution in Svalbard waters. Calanus spp. and its relationship to hydrographic variability 

      Daase, Malin (Doctoral thesis, 2008-02-06)
      This thesis investigates mesozooplankton abundance, composition and distribution in Svalbard waters in relation to hydrography. Sampling was carried out in the archipelago of Svalbard mainly during summer and autumn between ...
    • Pelagic organisms avoid white, blue, and red artificial light from scientific instruments 

      Geoffroy, Maxime; Langbehn, Tom; Priou, Pierre; Varpe, Øystein; Johnsen, Geir; Le Bris, Arnault; Fisher, Jonathan A. D.; Daase, Malin; Mckee, David; Cohen, Jonathan H.; Berge, Jørgen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      In situ observations of pelagic fish and zooplankton with optical instruments usually rely on external light sources. However, artificial light may attract or repulse marine organisms, which results in biased measurements. ...
