Calanus in the North Atlantic: species distribution and genetic population structure in space and time

"It is hard to imagine that such minute animals could be of such importance in the economy of a country", said Norwegian naturalist A. Boeck already in 1871 about Calanus finmarchicus, a tiny crustacean (ca. 3 mm) drifting in the ocean. Indeed Calanus species are likely the most numerous animals ...
