Main research areas:
1997-2000 «Seasonal Succession of the Zooplankton Communities in the White Sea» (MSc). The seasonal changes in the zooplankton communities were described for the near shore and open sea areas of the Kandalaksha Bay, the White Sea. The strong seasonality of the zooplankton communities was observed. The communities are forming by dominant zoogeographical species groups. The upper water layers are characterized by the seasonal changes in dominant species, such as «arctic (winter) – arcto-eurybiont (beginning of the spring) – eurybiont (middle of the spring – beginning of the summer) – eurybiont-boreal (middle of the summer) – boreal-eurybiont (end of the summer – beginning of the autumn) – eurybiont (autumn)». In the middle water layer the impact of boreal species decreases significantly, and the forming of the communities is usually in 1-2 weeks later. The zooplankton communities inhabiting the deep waters below picnocline are persented by arctic and eurybiont species all the year round. The hydrological conditions are the major reason of seasonal changes in the zooplankton communities. The zooplankton community complexity (Shannon index) is the lowest in the beginning of the spring and significantly increases through the season until the end of the summer. In total, the major seasonal changes in zooplankton communitites in the White Sea are common to the other sub-Arctic regions, however, they exibit some peculiarities related to the unique hydrological conditions in the White Sea.
2000-2004 «The feeding peculiarities of key Centropagoida copepod species in the White Sea» (PhD). The investigation was targeted to reveal the major feeding characteristics of the Centropagoidea copepods in the White Sea. The quantitative and qualitative parameters of feeding of Acartia spp., Temora longicornis and Centropages hamatus were described for the first time. The copepods were fed by natural seston to assess their grazing and faecal pellet impact to the ecosystem. The impact of several factors, such as light intensity and temperature, to feeding ratios were studied. Additionally, major biochemical characteristics (total proteins, total lipids, lipid classes, fatty acids) were studied for different developmental stages. The life cycle strategies were described under multidisciplinary researches. The impact of the studied species to the ecosystem was assessed. The project was granted by Copernicus Foundation (participant, ¹ICA2-CT-2000-10053), DAAD (personal fellowship, MBFOKU¹À/2403), Otto Schmidt Laboratory (project participant), «System of the White Sea» (in collaboration with P.P.Shirshov Institute of Oceanology RAS, Moscow).
2005-2007 «The diel vertical migrations of the zooplankton as a protection mechanism of the photoinduced oxidation stress». The copepods with different feeding preferences have different reactions to the UVB and visible light. The predominantly herbivores are characterized by positive phototaxis for both visible and UVB light. We assume such pecuiarities are strongly governed by the vertical distribution of the potential food resources. Additionally, the light behavior is closely connected with the life cycle strategies and ontogenic vertical migrations, Which is mostly expressed for the Arctic species. The project was granted by RFBR 02-04-49717A and 03-04-63003K, in collaboration with A.N. Bach Institute of Biochemistry, Moscow.
2006-2007 "The pelagic ecosystems of the White Sea. The scoop inlets as a pelagic micromodel». The vertical stratification of zooplankton communities is highly developed in the scoop inlets of the Kandalaksha Bay. The biogeographical groups of species are the indicators of different water masses. The changes in the zooplankton communities are different for distinct water layers. Somehow, the scoop inlets might be used as a micromodel to investigate the processes of zooplankton community, and especially larvacene, changes in the deeper part of the sea. These inlets are extremely suitable for investigations of the life cycle models of different Bivalvia species, which have planktonic larvae. The project was granted by St.Petersburg RAS Scientific Research Council.
2006-2007 «Winter distribution and overwintering strategies of major copepod species (Crustacea, Calanoida) in the Lazarev Sea (Antarctica)». The strategy of winter diapause/activity in abundant antarctic copepod species of Calanus propinquus, Metridia spp., Calanoides acutus and Rhincalanus gigas is governed by seasonal cyclicity of both food availability and food spectra. The two-years life cycle is argued for Calanus propinquus. The project was granted by Alfred-Wegener-Institute and DAAD (personal fellowship MBFOKU¹À/05/56521).
2007-2008 «Climate chAnge Effects on life cycle patterns of Calanus glacialis (Copepoda, Calanoida) in three different areas in the Arctic (CAESAR)». The project was aimed to discover major changes in life cycle strategy of Calanus glacialis induced by climate change in the Arctic. The duration of gonad maturation, egg production and nauplii hatching success are strongly governed by both food quantity and quality. The food characteristics significantly depend on the hydrological, ice conditions and solar impact, therefore the climate change may induce irreversible changes in the pelagic ecosystems of the Arctic. The project was granted by Otto Schmidt Laboratory (Principal Investigator, OSL-07-11) and EUR-OCEANS (EU Collaborative PostDoc, 200600497-2).
2008-2010 «The trophic interrelationships in pelagic sub-Arctic food webs (the White Sea): The lipid status and lipid dynamics, transport and transformation in food chain "phytopankton - zooplankton (Calanus glacialis) – planktivorous fish (Leptoclinus maculatus)». The selectivity of different food particles and ingestion rates of various developmental stages of key copepod species Calanus glacialis were studied during the first year of investigation. The feeding behaviour was studied for native and suspended seawater. High selectivity indexes of certain phytoplankton species were discovered for nearly all of studies developmental stages. However, the impact of non-chlorophyll particles in the food spectra of Calanus may reach up to 50% of consumed food. These data are nicely follow the Kiorboe theory (Kiorboe, 1998) about the omnivorous feeding type of Calanus instead of widely assumed herbivorous habits. The feeding activity of different developmental stages is closely connected with the life cycle strategy of this species. The project was granted by RFBR (08-04-98843-ð_ñåâåð_à), in collaboration with Institute of Biology, Karelian Research Centre, RAS.
2008-2009 «The climate change in low-arctic seas: an attempt to estimate the substitution by two key planktonic species on the basement of physiological peculiarities and life cycle strategies». The major objective of the present project is to assess possible changes in feeding and, further on, abundance and possible substitution of Calanus glacialis by Metridia longa under the scenario of climate change. The project was granted by Otto Schmidt Laboratory (Principal Investigator, OSL-09-16).
2011 «Zooplankton community in a changing environment: is stability possible?». The project aims on (1) assessing of the temperature optima for the key plankton species with reference to 50-year period continuous monitoring observations in the White Sea; (2) recalculating of the extreme environmental temperatures (climatic shifts) and assessing their impact to the zooplankton community structure; (3) analysis of the long-term dynamics of the zooplankton biomass and trends in the temperature changes in the White Sea since 1957; (4) description of the seasonal and vertical distributional dynamics of three key cold-water species, Calanus glacialis, Metridia longa, Pseudocalanus minutus; and (5) analysis of the structural and functional patterns of Calanus glacialis, Metridia longa, and Pseudocalanus minutus population (biomass, feeding patterns, species impact to the zooplankton community and organic matter flux). The project was granted by Fulbright Personal Professorship (the USA) in collaboration with Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences, University of South Carolina, the USA.
