PowerPoint Presentation - NWA GLOBEC Synthesis: Seasonal and interannual variability in Calanus finmarchicus abundance

Objectives:

ĄIdentify environmental processes that control dormancy in Calanus finmarchicus

ĄDevelop a mechanistic understanding of dormancy for inclusion in population dynamics modeling

Approach:

ĄCompile Calanus and environmental data across regions in the NW Atlantic

ĄLook for common patterns and cues

ĄUsing individual-based models, develop quantitative hypotheses to explain patterns


	Assumption: C. finmarchicus uses a similar mechanism for dormancy across its range in the NW Atlantic
