A holistic and comprehensive data approach validates the distribution of the critically endangered flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 516-528, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Morphological similarities between skates of the genus Dipturus in the north‐eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean have resulted in longstanding confusion, misidentification and misreporting. Current evidence indicates that the common skate is best explained as two species, the flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) and the common blue skate (D ...

Circumpolar patterns of Arctic freshwater fish biodiversity: A baseline for monitoring

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 176-193, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Climate change, biological invasions, and anthropogenic disturbance pose a threat to the biodiversity and function of Arctic freshwater ecosystems. Understanding potential changes in fish species distribution and richness is necessary, given the great importance of fish to the function of freshwater ecosystems and as a resource to humans ...

Multitrophic biodiversity patterns and environmental descriptors of sub‐Arctic lakes in northern Europe

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 30-48, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Arctic and sub‐Arctic lakes in northern Europe are increasingly threatened by climate change, which can affect their biodiversity directly by shifting thermal and hydrological regimes, and indirectly by altering landscape processes and catchment vegetation.

Spatial and temporal variation in Arctic freshwater chemistry—Reflecting climate‐induced landscape alterations and a changing template for biodiversity

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 14-29, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Freshwater chemistry across the circumpolar region was characterised using a pan‐Arctic data set from 1,032 lake and 482 river stations. Temporal trends were estimated for Early (1970–1985), Middle (1986–2000), and Late (2001–2015) periods. Spatial patterns were assessed using data collected since 2001.

First circumpolar assessment of Arctic freshwater phytoplankton and zooplankton diversity: Spatial patterns and environmental factors

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 141-158, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Arctic freshwaters are facing multiple environmental pressures, including rapid climate change and increasing land___use activities. Freshwater plankton assemblages are expected to reflect the effects of these stressors through shifts in species distributions and changes to biodiversity.

Arctic freshwater biodiversity: Establishing baselines, trends, and drivers of ecological change

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 1-13, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Climate change is predicted to have dramatic effects on Arctic freshwater ecosystems through changes to the abiotic template that are expected to influence biodiversity. Changes are already ongoing in Arctic systems, but there is a lack of coordinated monitoring of Arctic freshwaters that hinders our ability to assess changes in biodiversity ...

Improving the framework for assessment of ecological change in the Arctic: A circumpolar synthesis of freshwater biodiversity

open access: yesFreshwater Biology, Volume 67, Issue 1, Page 210-223, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Climate warming and subsequent landscape transformations result in rapid ecological change in Arctic freshwaters. Here we provide a synthesis of the diversity of benthic diatoms, plankton, macrophytes, macroinvertebrates, and fish in Arctic freshwaters.

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

Where Are You From? Finding the Origin of the Recently Observed Sprat in Iceland Using a Panel of SNPs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
European sprat can be divided into distinct genetic groups in the NE Atlantic, that is, Norwegian fjords, Baltic Sea and an oceanic component. The species has been increasingly reported in Icelandic waters since 2017. To investigate the source of introduction, Icelandic sprat has been genotyped and analyzed in comparison with existing reference data ...

Primary Productivity and Habitat Depth Shape Developmental Mode in European Marine Gastropods

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Thorson's rule suggests that marine gastropods in colder, high‐latitude regions tend to have non‐pelagic (non‐drifting) larval development. However, this study on 94 European gastropod species found that the rule disappears when examined at finer spatial scales, with temperature and phylogeny having little influence.
