• Diets of gadoid fish in Arctic waters of Svalbard fjords during the polar night 

      Larsen, Lars-Henrik; Cusa, Marine Lure Joana; Eglund-Newby, Sam; Berge, Jørgen; Renaud, Paul Eric; Varpe, Øystein; Geoffroy, Maxime; Falk-Petersen, Stig (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      As the climate warms, boreal fish species are expected to expand into the Arctic domain. Though water temperature is an important factor driving expansion of aquatic species, other variables may play a critical role in ...
    • Exitomelita sigynae gen. et sp. nov.: a new amphipod from the Arctic Loki Castle vent field with potential gill ectosymbionts 

      Tandberg, Anne Helene; Rapp, Hans Tore; Schander, Christoffer; Vader, Wim; Sweetman, Andrew K.; Berge, Jørgen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-11-02)
      The newly discovered deep-sea hydrothermal vent field ‘‘Loki’s Castle’’ at 2,350 m depth at 70 N on the Knipovich Ridge north of the island Jan Mayen is the only known black smoker field from the Arctic Ridge system. This ...
    • 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 ...
    • A marine zooplankton community vertically structured by light across diel to interannual timescales 

      Hobbs, Laura; Banas, Neil S.; Cohen, Jonathan H.; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Berge, Jørgen; Varpe, Øystein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The predation risk of many aquatic taxa is dominated by visually searching predators, commonly a function of ambient light. Several studies propose that changes in visual predation will become a major climate-change impact ...
    • 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. ...
