One open question regarding the long ice-covered period in high-latitude freshwater ecosystems is why some copepods show high concentrations of photo-protective compounds in absence of light.

In this study, we compare seasonal patterns of copepod pigmentation in respect to UV exposure and C-DOM properties among arctic, subarctic and boreal water bodies.
