    First estimates of entanglement rate of humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae observed in coastal Icelandic waters 
    Basran, CJ; Bertulli, CG; Cecchetti, A; Rasmussen, Marianne; Whittaker, M; Robbins, J (Inter-Research Science Center, 2019-02-07)
    Entanglement in fishing gear is a significant anthropogenic source of large whale injury and mortality. Although entanglements have been reported in the eastern North Atlantic, their frequency has not been previously estimated. This study used systematic ...

    Iceland as Stepping Stone for Spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus between Europe and North America 
    Günther, Anne; Krone, Oliver; Svansson, Vilhjalmur; Pohlmann, Anne; King, Jacqueline; Hallgrimsson, Gunnar Thor; Skarphéðinsson, Kristinn Haukur; Sigurðardóttir, Heiða; Jónsson, Stefán Ragnar; Beer, Martin; Brugger, Brigitte; Harder, Timm (2022-12-01)
    Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) of hemagglutinin type H5 and clade 2.3.4.4b have widely spread within the northern hemisphere since 2020 and threaten wild bird populations, as well as poultry production. We present phylogeographic ...

    An Iceland hotspot saga 
    Bjarnason, Ingi Þorleifur (Iceland Glaciological Society and Geoscience Society of IcelandJöklarannsóknafélags Íslands og Jarðfræðafélags Íslands, 2008)
    Is Iceland a hotspot, with ridge-centered plume? In Iceland vigorous volcanism has built up a plateau 3.0 km higher than at a normal mid-ocean ridge with 3 to 4 times thicker crust than average oceanic crust. This volcanism can be associated with ...

    The singing behaviour of humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in subarctic waters 
    Magnúsdóttir, Edda (Faculty of Life and Environmental Science, University of Iceland, 2017-05-19)
    The cyclically-repeated song of the male humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is an important social display on their breeding grounds, functioning in male-male interactions and/or as a reproductive display to attract females. The songs are gradually ...

    Western Mediterranean hydro-climatic consequences of Holocene ice-rafted debris (Bond) events 
    Zielhofer, Christoph; Köhler, Anne; Mischke, Steffen; Benkaddour, Abdelfattah; Mikdad, Abdeslam; Fletcher, William J. (Copernicus GmbH, 2019-03-20)
    Gerard C. Bond established a Holocene series of North Atlantic ice-rafted debris events based on quartz and haematite-stained grains recovered from subpolar North Atlantic marine cores. These so-called “Bond events” document nine large-scale and ...
