“…A direct linkage between hydrography and zooplankton population and phenological shifts has been identified in the Chukchi Sea, suggesting that higher abundance and biomass of copepods ( C. glacialis / marshallae , Metridia pacifica , and Neocalanus spp.) were driven by higher northward transport of Pacific water through the Bering Strait (Ershova et al., ; Woodgate, Stafford, & Prahl, ). Regarding changes in zooplankton prey quantity and quality, climate change may drive shifts in the phytoplankton abundance and species composition, which likely influence fecundity, feeding, development, and survival of zooplankton, consequently shaping the population dynamics (Cook et al., ; Daase et al., ; Leu, Wiktor, Søreide, Berge, & Falk‐Petersen, ).…”
