Modeling the advective supply of Calanus finmarchicus to Stellwagen Bank as an indicator of sand lance foraging habitat, and the climate vulnerability of a National Marine Sanctuary

Modeling the advective supply of Calanus finmarchicus to Stellwagen Bank as an indicator of sand lance foraging habitat, and the climate vulnerability of a National Marine Sanctuary

The northern sand lance (Ammodytes dubius), a key species in the food web supporting the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary (SBNMS), feeds primarily on the lipid-rich copepod Calanus finmarchicus. Climate change poses a significant threat to this dynamic, as C. finmarchicus populations are at...
