    The Arctic Council An Agent of Change? 
    Barry, Tom (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2021-01-28)
    The geo-political importance of the Arctic is growing while at the same time the onset of climate change has resulted in increasing environmental and social pressures both on Arctic states and the governance architecture through which Arctic issues ...

    Biotic interactions mediate patterns of herbivore diversity in the Arctic 
    Barrio, Isabel C; Bueno, C. Guillermo; Gartzia, M; Soininen, E.M.; Christie, K.S.; Speed, J.D.M.; Ravolainen, V.T.; Forbes, B.C.; Gauthier, G.; Horstkotte, T.; Hoset, K.S.; Hoye, T.T.; Jónsdóttir, Ingibjörg Svala; Lévesque, E.; Mörsdorf, M.A.; Olofsson, J.; Wookey, P.A.; Hik, D.S. (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2016)
    Aim. Understanding the forces shaping biodiversity patterns, particularly for groups of organisms with key functional roles, will help predict ecosystem responses to environmental changes. Our aim was to evaluate the relative role of different drivers ...

    Distribution of Recent non-marine ostracods in Icelandic lakes, springs, and cave pools 
    Alkalaj, Jovana; Hrafnsdottir, Thora; Ingimarsson, Finnur; Smith, Robin J; Kreiling, Agnes-Katharina; Mischke, Steffen (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-04-25)
    Ostracods in Icelandic freshwaters have seldom been researched, with the most comprehensive record from the 1930s. There is a need to update our knowledge of the distribution of ostracods in Iceland as they are an important link in these ecosystems as ...

    Effects of land conversion in sub-arctic landscapes on densities of ground-nesting birds 
    Pálsdóttir, Aldís Erna (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2022-06)
    Biodiversity is declining globally, primarily driven by anthropogenic changes and alterations of natural habitats. In lowland Iceland, human impact has increased considerably in the past decades, often involving an increase in numbers of anthropogenic ...

    Functional diversity and community assembly of river invertebrates show globally consistent responses to decreasing glacier cover 
    Brown, Lee E.; Khamis, Kieran; Wilkes, Martin; Blaen, Phillip; Brittain, John E.; Carrivick, Jonathan L.; Fell, Sarah; Friberg, Nikolai; Füreder, Leopold; Gislason, Gisli Mar; Hainie, Sarah; Hannah, David M.; James, William H. M.; Lencioni, Valeria; Olafsson, Jon S.; Robinson, Christopher T.; Saltveit, Svein J.; Thompson, Craig; Milner, Alexander M. (Springer Nature, 2017-12-18)
    Global change threatens invertebrate biodiversity and its central role in numerous ecosystem functions and services. Functional trait analyses have been advocated to uncover global mechanisms behind biodiversity responses to environmental change, but ...

    Relating Depth and Diversity of Bivalvia and Gastropoda in Two Contrasting Sub-Arctic Marine Regions 
    Egilsdottir, Hronn; McGinty, Niall; Guðmundsson, Guðmundur (Frontiers Media SA, 2019-03-22)
    The need to understand species distribution- and biodiversity patterns in high-latitude marine regions is immediate as these marine environments are undergoing rapid environmental changes, including ocean warming and ocean acidification. By the year ...

    A way forward with eco evo devo: an extended theory of resource polymorphism with postglacial fishes as model systems 
    Skúlason, Skúli; Parsons, Kevin J.; Svanbäck, Richard; Räsänen, Katja; Ferguson, Moira M.; Adams, Colin E.; Amundsen, Per‐Arne; Bartels, Pia; Bean, Colin W.; Boughman, Janette W.; Englund, Göran; Guðbrandsson, Jóhannes; Hooker, Oliver E.; Hudson, Alan G.; Kahilainen, Kimmo K.; Knudsen, Rune; Kristjánsson, Bjarni K.; Leblanc, Camille; Jónsson, Zophonías Oddur; Öhlund, Gunnar; Smith, Carl; Snorrason, Sigurður S. (Wiley, 2019-06-19)
    A major goal of evolutionary science is to understand how biological diversity is generated and altered. Despite considerable advances, we still have limited insight into how phenotypic variation arises and is sorted by natural selection. Here we argue ...
