Plasticity of trait divergence in threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) from Lake Mývatn, Iceland
Lake Mývatn is one of the best-studied ecosystems in Iceland showing strong environmental gradients (e.g. in temperature, substrate) and spatial and temporal differences in invertebrate composition. Many invertebrates groups are found in the lake, in particular chironomid midges and benthic …

Variation in shoaling behavior in lake Mývatn threespine stickleback in relation to temperature and origin
… stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) in Lake Mývatn is an ideal candidate to study such local adaptations. Threespine stickleback diverge in their morphology and physiology across the lake, partly in relation to habitat diversity, e.g. in temperature. However, investigating behavioral …

Relationships between phenotype, diet, and individual specialization of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) in Lake Mývatn, Iceland
Lake Mývatn, Iceland, is a well-studied lake that has several types of habitats and strong temporal dynamics. The threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) population of the lake has been monitored for decades. Within the population is high gene flow, the phenotype is variable, the population …

Biological diversity of epibenthic invertebrates in relation to environmental factors in lava caves around Lake Mývatn (N-E Iceland)
… freshwater ecosystems. In the vicinity of Lake Mývatn (NE Iceland), numerous groundwater fed lava caves are found; they were formed after the collapse of lava tumuli. Groundwater seeps into the caves through porous lava bedrock, creating small ponds inhabited by Arctic charr and diverse …

Asynchrony in the dynamics of chironomids across six locations in northeastern Iceland
… Sílalækjarvatn, Skjálftavatn, Víkingavatn, and Mývatn. The largest lake, Mývatn, consists of two distinct basins which I treat as separate locations. Fluctuations in aggregate midge abundance show little correlation among locations, with even neighboring locations exhibiting asynchronous …
