Abstract
My research is on fishes' ecology and evolution, focusing on how maternal effects and ecological factors promote and maintain intraspecific diversity.
Current projects look at (1) evolution and diversity of populations of Arctic charr AC found in springs and lava caves in Iceland, (2) temporal changes in freshwater fish communities in connection with warming in Faroese lakes, and (3) density of breeders and breeding habitats of AC in Lake Mývatn.

Abstract
My research focus is on understanding factors, both ecological and evolutionary, that shape biological diversity. My work focuses on biological diversity at various levels within freshwater, from within species to communities. To answer the questions I'm interested in, I work both in the field and use controlled laboratory experiments. I am a strong believer that for successful research and greater knowledge scientists need to collaborate, often across disciplines. I thus have many good research collaborators that bring in specialization.
