Description
Summary:This presentation was held in March 2024 during the 7th International Zooplankton Production Symposium in Hobart (Australia) during the Session 10: Zooplankton in changing polar oceans. Abstract: Copepods dominate the zooplankton community in terms of species richness and numbers in sub-Arctic and Arctic seas. They are very successful in these strong seasonal environmentsand to assess the different expressions of functions performed by the copepods we are using atrait based approach. The aim is to gain insights into the composition and distribution of functional traits within the species pool and unravel relationships among functional traits, the environment, and thecommunity structure. We hypothesise that copepod communities will be differently shapedduring different times of the year and bear different associated functions. Data weregathered within the framework of the Nansen Legacy in the Barents Sea, encompassing theeastern Svalbard region, over four distinct campaigns, notably including the sparsely st ...
