(Wiley, 2023-05-31)Adaptations occur at many levels, for example, from DNA sequence of regulatory elements and cellular homeostatic systems to organismal physiology and behaviour (Mayr, 1997). Established adaptations are maintained by purifying and stabilizing selection. ... -
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2024-05-21)The diversity of functional feeding anatomy is particularly impressive in fishes and correlates with various interspecific ecological specializations. Intraspecific polymorphism can manifest in divergent feeding morphology and ecology, often along a ...

(PeerJ, 2023-09-05)Background Lake Þingvallavatn in Iceland, a part of the river Ölfusá drainage basin, was presumably populated by brown trout soon after it formed at the end of the last Ice Age. The genetic relatedness of the brown trout in Þingvallavatn to other ...

(Informa, 2022-09-07)The E1-like enzyme ATG7 belongs to a group of ATG proteins that mediate the autophagy process. Autophagy is a highly conserved degradation pathway important for maintaining homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. Here, we study the evolution of E1 enzymes and ...

(Wiley, 2024-08-16)In recent years, “queer joy” has become a prominent topic in queer circles in the West. It refers to a defiant sense of joy felt by LGBTQ + people in the face of an increasingly hostile environment. However, the political use of queer joy has a troubling ...

(University of Texas Press, 2024-09)Á 10. áratug tuttugustu aldar og fyrsta áratug þeirrar tuttugustu og fyrstu voru uppi miklar deilur í íslensku samfélagi um það sem jafnan var kallað „hjónaband samkynhneigðra“ (þ.e. jafnrétti til hjónabands). Á meðan hinsegin fólk þrýsti á um að öllum ...

A dynamic mid-crustal magma domain revealed by the 2023 to 2024 Sundhnúksgígar eruptions in Iceland (American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2024-10-17)Mid-crustal magma domains are the source of many basaltic eruptions. Lavas from individual eruptions are often chemically homogeneous, suggesting they derive from single well-mixed magma reservoirs. The 2023-2024 eruptions at Sundhnúksgígar in the ...

(AIP Publishing, 2023-01)This study aimed to simulate straining turbulent flow empirically, having direct similarities with vast naturally occurring flows and engineering applications. The flow was generated in 100 < Re < 500 and seeded with passive and inertial particles. ...
-
(European Association of Geochemistry, 2024-04-30)The ability of engineered enhanced weathering to impact atmospheric CO2 has been challenging to demonstrate due to the many processes occurring in soils and the short time span of current projects. Here we report the carbon balance in an Icelandic ...

(Wiley, 2022-12-16)Although fostering values is promoted within environmental and sustainability education (ESE) and a shift in values seen as essential for a sustainable future, recent international findings indicate this aspect of ESE is being neglected (UNESCO, 2019). ...
-
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-04-06)Although fostering values is promoted within sustainability education (SE), many educators appear concerned or conflicted about how, or whether, to approach values education. An interdisciplinary research project sought to draw on insights from character ...

Citizenship, character, sustainability: Differences and commonalities in three fields of education (Taylor & Francis, 2023-01-26)An adequate response to the environmental and sustainability issues we now face cannot be limited to single perspectives, disciplines, or ways of knowing, and instead requires an interdisciplinary approach. Despite the connections between the fields ...
-
(Springer, 2024-06)The size of deep-seated magma chambers is an important parameter for understanding pre-eruptive signals such as surface deformation. The constantly inflating Hekla volcano in Iceland has had relatively simple eruptive behaviour during the historical ...
-
(Springer, 2023-10)We would like to thank Geist et al. (2023) for the opportunity to further discuss the arguments presented in our paper “Long or short silicic magma residence time beneath Hekla volcano, Iceland?” (Sigmarsson et al. 2022). The disagreement centres around ...
-
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-03-28)The geological setting of Iceland is unusual, with highly jointed rock mass, loose sediments created in glacial outburst floods and eruptions, and layers of lava-rock embedded in or overlying soft sediments. This study aims to assess the feasibility ...

(DePaul University, 2024)As is well known, Plato was a significant influence on Gadamer’s thought. Nevertheless, Gadamer’s interpretation of Plato changed through the years, and he became increasing sympathetic towards Plato in his later works after 1960’s Truth and Method. ...

(Bristol University Press, 2024-03-04)Changes in personal consumption play an important role in the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to stay within the 1.5-degree warming carbon footprint budget. Affluent countries have high carbon footprints from a consumptive perspective and therefore ...
-
(CSIRO Publishing, 2023)Environmental context. Arsenic contamination has a disproportionate effect on marine ecosystems. Organisms such as some marine macroalgae, which accumulate potentially toxic elements from the surrounding environment, have developed an internal conversion ...

(Informa, 2024-03-11)PINK1, mutated in familial forms of Parkinson’s disease, initiates mitophagy following mitochondrial depolarization. However, it is difficult to monitor this pathway physiologically in mice as loss of PINK1 does not alter basal mitophagy levels in most ...
