• Adding pieces to the puzzle: insights into diversity and distribution patterns of Cumacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) from the deep North Atlantic to the Arctic Ocean 

      Uhlir, Carolin; Schwentner, Martin; Meland, Kenneth; Kongsrud, Jon Anders; Glenner, Henrik; Brandt, Angelika; Thiel, Ralf; Svavarsson, Jörundur; Lörz, Anne-Nina; Brix, Saskia (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The Nordic Seas have one of the highest water-mass diversities in the world, yet large knowledge gaps exist in biodiversity structure and biogeographical distribution patterns of the deep macrobenthic fauna. This study ...

      During RV MS Merian expedition MSM75, an international, multidisciplinary team explored the Reykjanes Ridge from June to August 2018. The first area of study, Steinahóll (150–350 m depth), was chosen based on previous ...
    • A genetic fingerprint of Amphipoda from Icelandic waters - the baseline for further biodiversity and biogeography studies 

      Jazdzewska, Anna M.; Corbari, Laure; Driskell, Amy C; Frutos, Inmaculada; Havermans, Charlotte; Hendrycks, Ed; Hughes, Lauren E.; Lörz, Anne-Nina; Stransky, Bente; Tandberg, Anne Helene S.; Vader, Wim; Brix, Saskia (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      Amphipods constitute an abundant part of Icelandic deep-sea zoobenthos yet knowledge of the diversity of this fauna, particularly at the molecular level, is scarce. The present work aims to use molecular methods to investigate ...
    • Global gap-analysis of amphipod barcode library 

      Jazdzewska, Ania; Tandberg, Anne Helene Solberg; Horton, Tammy; Brix, Saskia (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      In the age of global climate change and biodiversity loss there is an urgent need to provide effective and robust tools for diversity monitoring. One of the promising techniques for species identification is the use of DNA ...
    • Habitat variability and faunal zonation at the Ægir Ridge, a canyon-like structure in the deep Norwegian Sea 

      Brix, Saskia; Kaiser, Stephanie M.; Lörz, Anne-Nina; Le Saout, Morgane; Schumacher, Mia; Bonk, Frederic; Egilsdottir, Hrönn; Hilma Ólafsdóttir, Steinunn; Tandberg, Anne Helene Solberg; Taylor, James; Tewes, Simon; Xavier, Joana R; Linse, Katrin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The Ægir Ridge System (ARS) is an ancient extinct spreading axis in the Nordic seas extending from the upper slope east of Iceland (∼550 m depth), as part of its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), to a depth of ∼3,800 m in the ...
