  • Beukeboom, Rosanne (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2023)
    Individuals within a population often differ predictably in their behaviour compared to other members across time and/or context, often termed personality, which can have major implications for ecology and evolution. Personality includes variation ...

    Glaciers have been an increasingly studied topic in the ecosystem services (ES) literature, with 6 multiple scientific studies affirming a critical and diverse contribution to human well-being. 7 However, the literature to date on glacier ES has lacked ...

    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 ...
  • Nyamweya, Chrispine (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2017-01)
    Lake Victoria is of immense ecological and socio-economic significance for the riparian communities. However, the lake is faced with human induced pressures such as overfishing, introduction of alien species, increased eutrophication and climate change ...
  • Silva, Teresa Sofia Giesta da (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2018-12-14)
    Krill are an important component of the Icelandic marine ecosystem. Given their important ecological niche, as conveyors of biological production between phytoplankton and higher trophic levels, fluctuations in krill abundance can have large impacts ...
  • Oostdijk, Maartje (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2021-04-29)
    The management of marine resources pose a difficult commons problem as monitoring behavior is difficult and benefit flows from the resources are uncertain. Implementing individual transferable quota (ITQ) is a management regime in which quasi-property ...
  • Beck, Samantha V. (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, 2019-01-30)
    Intraspecific variation in egg size and its effects on offspring fitness is well documented in fishes. Yet whether or not differential per propagule maternal investment (egg size) can influence phenotypic diversification is little understood. Arctic ...
  • Boulton, Andrew J.; Ekebom, Jan; Gislason, Gisli Mar (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-09)
    Over the last two decades, there has been increasing public and political recognition of society's dependency upon natural habitat complexity and ecological processes to sustain provision of crucial ecosystem services, ranging from supplying potable ...

    Predation and mortality are often difcult to estimate in the ocean, which hampers the management and conservation of marine fshes. We used data from pop-up satellite archival tags to investigate the ocean predation and mortality of adult Atlantic ...
  • von Leesen, Gotje; Ninnemann, Ulysses S.; Campana, Steven (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-02-14)
    Increasing water temperatures are predicted around the globe, with high amplitudes of warming in Subarctic and Arctic regions where Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) populations currently flourish. We reconstructed oxygen isotope and temperature chronologies ...
  • Demars, Benoît O. L.; Manson, J. R.; Ólafsson, Jón S.; Gislason, Gisli Mar; Friberg, N. (EDP Sciences, 2011)
    Stream ecosystem metabolism plays a critical role in planetary biogeochemical cycling. Stream benthic habitat complexity and the available surface area for microbes relative to the free-flowing water volume are thought to be important determinants ...

    Global warming is widely predicted to reduce the biomass production of top predators, or even result in species loss.Several exceptions to this expectation have been identified, however, and it is vital that we understand the underlyingmechanisms if we ...
