International audience Heterotrophic microflagellates and ciliates (i.e., 20–200 μm size fraction) were examined for evidence of their response to the spring accumulation of algal biomass in the bottom of the annual sea ice in Resolute Passage (Canadian High Arctic, 74°N, 95°W). The most abundant he...
