Findings show genetic analysis confirms Leucothoe spinicarpa in high latitudes, indicating ongoing atlantization.
Boreal amphipods (Leucothoe spinicarpa) have been collected on the continental slope of the Barents Sea sector of the Arctic Ocean, significantly north of its previously known range. A genetic analysis has confirmed the species identity. This record provides further evidence of the expansion of boreal fauna into the high latitudes of Arctic Ocean, a process driven by the ongoing atlantization of the region.
