The dramatic warming of the Arctic Ocean will impact pelagic ecosystems in complex ways, including shifting patterns of species distribution and abundance, and altering migration pathways and population connectivity. The Phylum Chaetognatha (arrow worms) are abundant in the zooplankton assemblage an...
