    Avian abundance and communities in areas revegetated with exotic versus native plant species 
    Davíðsdóttir, Brynja; Gunnarsson, Tomas Gretar; Halldórsson, Guðmundur; Sigurdsson, Bjarni D. (Agricultural University of Iceland, 2016)
    Degradation of ecosystems and introductions of invasive species pose a threat to global biodiversity. Ecosystem restoration and revegetation actions are important for amending habitat loss and for the protection of species of plants and animals. Iceland ...

    Evidence of effects of herbivory on Arctic vegetation: a systematic map protocol 
    Soininen, E.M.; Barrio, Isabel C; Jepsen, J.U.; Ehrich, D.; Ravolainen, V.T.; Speed, J.D.M. (Springer Nature, 2018-09-27)
    Along with climate change, herbivory is considered a main driver of ecosystem change in terrestrial Arctic environments. Understanding how herbivory influences the resilience of Arctic ecosystems to ongoing environmental changes is essential to inform ...

    Foraging behaviour and plant selection in a herd of Icelandic goats 
    Ævarsdóttir, Hrafnhildur; Thorhallsdottir, Anna Gudrun; Sigurjónsdottir, Hrefna (Agricultural University of Iceland, 2016-06)
    The Icelandic goat is an indigenous breed, descendant of goats brought to Iceland by Nordic and Celtic settlers in the 9th century (Adalsteinsson 1981). The population is estimated to have been below 1000 individuals for centuries and critically ...

Gunnarsdóttir, Gunnhildur Eva; Holmstrup, Martin; Ilieva-Makulec, Krassimira; Kätterer, Thomas; Marteinsdóttir, Bryndís; Maljanen, Marja; Oddsdóttir, Edda Sigurdís; Ostonen, Ivika; Penuelas, Josep; Poeplau, Christopher; Richter, Andreas; Sigurðsson, Páll; van Bodegom, Peter; Wallander, Håkan; Weedon, James; Janssens, Ivan (Agricultural University of Iceland, 2016)
    This article describes how natural geothermal soil temperature gradients in Iceland have been used to study terrestrial ecosystem responses to soil warming. The experimental approach was evaluated at three study sites in southern Iceland; one grassland ...

    Impact of dust deposition on the albedo of Vatnajökull ice cap, Iceland 
    Wittmann, Monika; Groot Zwaaftink, Christine; Steffensen Schmidt, Louise; Guðmundsson, Sverrir; Pálsson, Finnur; Arnalds, Olafur; Björnsson, Helgi; Thorsteinsson, Throstur; Stohl, Andreas (Copernicus GmbH, 2017-03-23)
    Deposition of small amounts of airborne dust on glaciers causes positive radiative forcing and enhanced melting due to the reduction of surface albedo. To study the effects of dust deposition on the mass balance of Brúarjökull, an outlet glacier of the ...

    Interactions between the atmosphere, cryosphere, and ecosystems at northern high latitudes 
    Boy, Michael; Thomson, Erik; Acosta Navarro, Juan C.; Arnalds, Olafur; Batchvarova, Ekaterina; Bäck, Jaana; Berninger, Frank; Bilde, Merete; Brasseur, Zoé; Dagsson-Waldhauserova, Pavla; Castarède, Dimitri; Dalirian, Maryam; de Leeuw, Gerrit; Dragosics, Monika; Duplissy, Ella-Maria; Duplissy, Jonathan; Ekman, Annica; Fang, Keyan; Gallet, Jean-Charles; Glasius, Marianne; Gryning, Sven-Erik; Grythe, Henrik; Hansson, Hans-Christen; Hansson, Margareta; Isaksson, Elisabeth; Iversen, Trond; Jonsdottir, Ingibjorg; Kasurinen, Ville; Kirkevåg, Alf; Korhola, Atte A.; Krejci, Radovan; Kristjánsson, Jón Egill; Lappalainen, Hanna K.; Lauri, Anniina; Leppäranta, Matti; Lihavainen, Heikki; Makkonen, Risto; Massling, Andreas; Meinander, Outi; Nilsson, Douglas; Olafsson, Haraldur; Pettersson, Jan B.C.; Prisle, Nønne; Riipinen, Ilona; Roldin, Pontus; Ruppel, Meri; Salter, Matthew; Sand, Maria; Seland, Øyvind; Seppä, Heikki; Skov, Henrik; Soares, Joana; Stohl, Andreas; Ström, Johan; Svensson, Jonas; Swietlicki, Erik; Tabakova, Ksenia; Thorsteinsson, Throstur; Virkkula, Aki; Weyhenmeyer, Gesa; Wu, Yusheng; Zieger, Paul; Kulmala, Markku (Copernicus GmbH, 2019-02-14)
    The Nordic Centre of Excellence CRAICC (Cryosphere–Atmosphere Interactions in a Changing Arctic Climate), funded by NordForsk in the years 2011–2016, is the largest joint Nordic research and innovation initiative to date, aiming to strengthen research ...

    Parasitoids indicate major climate‐induced shifts in arctic communities 
    Kankaanpää, Tuomas; Vesterinen, Eero; Hardwick, Bess; Schmidt, Niels M.; Andersson, Tommi; Aspholm, Paul E.; Barrio, Isabel C.; Beckers, Niklas; Bêty, Joël; Birkemoe, Tone; DeSiervo, Melissa; Drotos, Katherine H.

    Climatic impacts are especially pronounced in the Arctic, which as a region is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe. Here, we investigate how mean climatic conditions and rates of climatic change impact parasitoid insect communities in 16 ...

    A prospective study on insect bite hypersensitivity in horses exported from Iceland into Switzerland 
    Torsteinsdóttir, Sigurbjörg; Scheidegger, Stephan; Baselgia, Silvia; Jónsdóttir, Sigríður; Svansson, Vilhjálmur; Björnsdóttir, Sigríður; Marti, Eliane (Springer Nature, 2018-11-03)
    Background: Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) is an IgE-mediated dermatitis caused by bites of Culicoides spp., which occurs frequently in horses imported from Iceland to continental Europe. IBH does not occur in Iceland because Culicoides species ...

    Strongyloides stercoralis found in imported dogs, household dogs and kennel dogs in Iceland 
    Eydal, Matthías; Skirnisson, Karl (Agricultural University of Iceland, 2016)
    The aim of this paper is to report cases of the intestinal parasitic nematode Strongyloides stercoralis in dogs in Iceland. The nematode was diagnosed in 20 (0.6%) of imported dogs in quaratine in Iceland during 1989-2016. Household dogs: The first ...
