High Arctic Mytilus spp.: occurrence, distribution and history of dispersal
Many marine species are known to change their distribution in response to changing climatic conditions. One such example is the blue mussel Mytilus spp., spreading northward coincident with an increase in ocean temperatures. On Svalbard, the first living specimens of Mytilus spp. were discovered in...

Many marine species are known to change their distribution in response to changing climatic conditions. One such example is the blue mussel Mytilus spp., spreading northward coincident with an increase in ocean temperatures. On Svalbard, the first living specimens of Mytilus spp. were discovered in 2004. Here we present an analysis of the current distribution of Mytilus spp. on Svalbard, with a focus on the west coast of Spitsbergen where strong Atlantification has been documented over the last few decades. We conducted diver-based surveys to develop a distributional map and to compare the current distribution with that of the Holocene.
