GRADUATE STUDENTS
Masters students
Name: Ben Andrews
From: Canada Study: MSc in Aquatic Biology, Hólar University in collaboration with the University of New Brunswick Project: "Comparison of Diel Activity and Growth in Three Species of Stream-Dwelling Salmonids'". Advisor: Stefán Óli Steingrímsson |
Name: Friðþjófur Árnason
From: Iceland Study: MSc in Aquatic Biology, Hólar University, in collaboration with the Marine and Freshwater Institute. Project: "Density-dependent growth in juvenile stream-dwelling salmonids in Iceland". Advisor: Stefán Óli Steingrímsson |
Name: Krystal Mannion
From: United States of America Study: MSc in Aquatic Biology, Hólar University Project: "Diel activity in Arctic charr: Phenotypic and ecological determinants". Specifically, my thesis focuses the role of intraspecific competition (i.e. food availability), and individual differences in behavior, on diel activity and foraging patterns of juvenile Arctic charr. Advisor: Stefán Óli Steingrímsson |
|
Name: Michael Galloway
From: United States of America Study: MSc in Aquatic Biology, Hólar University Project: "Diel activity in Arctic charr: Phenotypic and ecological determinants". Specifically, my Masters thesis will focus on metabolic rates as a "predictor" of diel activity; linking metabolic rate (and scope) to daily activity of arctic charr in a semi-natural, stream environment. Advisor: Stefán Óli Steingrímsson |
Name: Ragna Guðrún Snorradóttir
From: Iceland Study: MSc in Aquatic Biology, Hólar University Project: "How the diet differs between individual threespine sticklebakcs in lake Mývatn and how it affects morphology and gill rakers." Also looking at how food availability can differ between stations in the lake. Advisor: Bjarni K. Kristjánsson |
Name: Spencer William Edwards
