Recent fissure-fed eruptions from the Svartsengi Volcanic System have significantly impacted Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula. With eruptions likely to continue intermittently for decades to centuries, exploring the controls on the locations of fissure-fed eruptions is important for hazard assessment and risk mitigation. This study maps eruptive fissures from six eruptions from December 2023 to September 2024 using satellite and...
The hyperiid amphipod Brachyscelus rapacoides is a warm-water species associated with gelatinous zooplankton. In the Mediterranean it has been reported in association with Rhopilema nomadica in both Israel and Turkey. Here, we document the first record of B. rapacoides in Greek waters, representing the first confirmed record for Europe, based on both morphological examination and DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial COI gene. Sp...
Transient ground deformation observed by GNSS and InSAR during and following the 2021 Fagradalsfjall eruption, IcelandNARA Subscribed
Geodetic observations, coupled with modelling of the detected signals, can help discriminate between different processes contributing to measured surface deformation during a volcanic eruption, providing insight into its evolution, the associated magma transport, and processes occurring in the subsurface. Global Navigation Satellite System geodesy and Interferometric analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite images reveal...
Our study investigates gene expression in adipose tissue of Ames dwarf (df/df) mice, whose deficiency in growth hormone is linked to health and extended lifespan. Recognizing adipose tissue influence on metabolism, aging, and related diseases, we aim to understand its contribution to the health and longevity of df/df mice. We have identified gene and transcript expression patterns associated with critical biological functions,...
Deformation, seismicity, and monitoring response preceding and during the 2022 Fagradalsfjall eruption, IcelandNARA Subscribed
Following two periods of dike intrusion in 2021 at Fagradalsfjall, Iceland, one of which led to an eruption, a third dike intrusion commenced on 30 July 2022. A sudden increase in seismicity occurred within the diking area, with approximately 1700 automatically detected earthquakes > M1 within 24 h. Strong earthquakes were felt over several days within a wider area (largest M W 5.3). The timeline and spatial distribution of se...
Predator–prey interactions of terrestrial invertebrates are determined by predator body size and species identityNARA Subscribed
Predator–prey interactions shape ecosystems and can help maintain biodiversity. However, for many of the earth's most biodiverse and abundant organisms, including terrestrial arthropods, these interactions are difficult or impossible to observe directly with traditional approaches. Based on previous theory, it is likely that predator–prey interactions for these organisms are shaped by a combination of predator traits, includin...
Spatial overlaps between the global protected areas network and terrestrial hotspots of evolutionary diversityNARA Subscribed
Aim A common approach for prioritizing conservation is to identify concentrations (hotspots) of biodiversity. Such hotspots have traditionally been designated on the basis of species‐level metrics (e.g., species richness, endemism and extinction vulnerability). These approaches do not consider phylogenetics explicitly, although phylogenetic relationships reflect the ecological, evolutionary and biogeographical processes by whi...
We examined the influence of warming and supplemental precipitation on plant production and abundance of the dominant microarthropod, the springtail Cryptopygus antarcticus (Collembola), in tundra dominated by the vascular plants Colobanthus quitensis and Deschampsia antarctica along the Antarctic Peninsula. Tundra cores were placed in plots near Palmer Station where they were warmed with infrared heaters in combination with r...
