Molecular tools prove little auks from Svalbard are extremely selective for Calanus glacialis even when exposed to Atlantification
Abstract Two Calanus species, C . glacialis and C . finmarchicus , due to different life strategies and environmental preferences act as an ecological indicators of Arctic Atlantification. Their high lipid content makes them important food source for higher trophic levels of Arctic ecosystems includ...
