Candidates for stream and lake restoration in Iceland

Peatland restoration has been highlighted in Iceland as an important climate action as raising groundwater levels helps stop the release of carbon from drained soil.
We explored the potential for stream and lake restoration in Hraunhreppur in the Mýrar, with a special focus on trout spawning areas in streams and migration routes for trout and eel.

Icelandic Cattle is a cattle breed that is local to Iceland. In the last years, genomic methods have been applied in the breeding program. Thousands of animals are regularly genotyped with 60.000 SNP markers and phenotyped for dozens of traits.

SUMMARY From hundreds of independent transitions from a free-living existence to a parasitic mode of life, separate parasite lineages have converged over evolutionary time to share traits and exploit their hosts in similar ways. Here, we first summarize the evidence that, at a phenotypic level, euka …
