The IceAGE project (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology) aims to observe the icelandic marine benthos and the benthic fauna of neighboring regions. We aim to combine classical taxonomic methods with modern aspects of biodiversity research, in particular ecological modelling in the climatic sensitive region around Iceland. We want to answer the question which factors are responsible for the distribution of the benthic fauna along the Greenland-Iceland-Scotland Ridge and how high is the genetic variability and why?
