Differential gene expression in diapausing and active Calanus finmarchicus (Copepoda)

Genomic approaches to detecting thermal stress in Calanus finmarchicus (Copepoda: Calanoida)

Zooplankton may be subjected to physiological stress as they encounter rapid and large changes in temperature through vertical migration or transfer into different water masses. Induction of one or more heat shock proteins (hsp) is a common protective response to thermal stress in organisms. We looked for evidence for such a response in Calanus finmarchicus. We compared hsp70 expression in cope...

Spatial Modeling of Calanus finmarchicus and Calanus helgolandicus: Parameter Differences Explain Differences in Biogeography

The North Atlantic copepods Calanus finmarchicus and C. helgolandicus are moving north in response to rising temperatures. Understanding the drivers of their relative geographic distributions is required in order to anticipate future changes. To explore this, we created a new spatially explicit stage-structured model of their populations throughout the North Atlantic. Recent advances in underst...

Bioaccumulation of phenanthrene and benzo[a]pyrene in Calanus finmarchicus.

With petroleum exploration and development expanding in the Arctic (AMAP, 2007) there is a need to obtain additional information on the ecotoxicology of Arctic organisms. Here we perform 192 h laboratory exposure experiments on the keystone Arctic zooplankton species, Calanus finmarchicus. We trace the accumulation and depuration of two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): phenanthrene and ...
