Populations dynamics of key zooplankton species in the European Arctic, Calanus finmarchicus and Calanus glacialis (hereafter defined as Calanus ) may be sensitive to climate changes, which in turn is of great importance for higher trophic levels. The aim of this study was to investigate the complet...
