Thanks Daniel! I was a cold, dark, but great experience :)

Grateful to the amazing crew and scientists who made this polar night adventure possible. The Arctic never ceases to amaze, especially when I know more about how busy it is below the silent ice.

From 2000–4000 m, we collected fascinating amphipods, decapods and jellyfish. These deep-sea animals are fascinating to study how energy, resources, and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are transported to the Arctic abyss via the biological pump

It was an epic expedition to the dark and frozen Nansen Basin. Working in air temperatures below -20 °C with biting wind, we deployed Mammoth and MIK nets to 4000 m depth in the Arctic Ocean. Sampling during this special time of year taught me far more about zooplankton communities than I expected.

Huge thanks to master's student Andrea for conducting the experiments, postdoc Mathieu for leading the writing, and all collaborators for making this possible!

We provide the first statistical determination of heat accumulation tipping points. We also demonstrate that exposure to a secondary stressor can suppress tipping points to a primary stressor, thereby removing the ability of phenotypic plasticity to buffer negative impacts on fitness.

2) At 29 PSU, this corresponded to a tipping point of heat accumulation of 28 °C.d above which survival decreased.

3) Reduced salinity below 29 PSU, prevalent year-round in surface waters, suppressed this tipping point, inducing linear decreases in survival when temperature rises above 8 °C.

Maybe the same isopod genus parasitising in Calanus hyperboreus. This is a photo I took a few years ago in the central Arctic Ocean.

very interesting and very inspiring study! Congratulation!!
