The international IceAGE project (Icelandic marine Animals: Genetics and Ecology) focuses on the climatic sensitive region at the northernmost part of the North Atlantic: Greenland, Iceland and Nordic Seas reaching to the North Sea. So far, 80,000 amphipod crustaceans have been sampled during the IceAGE project at depths between 120 –3000 m. The extremely high sample coverage and the fact that amphipods are brooders with limited dispersal capabilities makes them the taxon of choice to identify ecological variables driving benthic community composition and limiting species distributions. This requires a secure taxonomic baseline. The main goal of this project is to assess the diversity, phylogenetic systematics and phylogeographical history of North Atlantic / Subarctic Amphipoda. Integrative taxonomy is the basis for documenting, understanding, and observing changes in deep-sea biodiversity. This project will augment knowledge of an important region in the Subarctic/ North Atlantic which faces extensive environmental changes in the future.

国际IceAGE项目（冰岛海洋动物：遗传学和生态学）侧重于北大西洋最北端的气候敏感区域：格陵兰岛、冰岛和延伸至北海的北欧海。到目前为止，在IceAGE项目期间，已经在120 - 3000米深处对80，000只片足类甲壳动物进行了取样。极高的样本覆盖率和事实，片脚类是育雏与有限的传播能力，使他们的选择分类，以确定生态变量驱动底栖生物群落组成和限制物种分布。这需要一个可靠的分类基线。该项目的主要目标是评估北大西洋/亚北极端足类的多样性、系统发育和地理历史。综合分类学是记录、理解和观察深海生物多样性变化的基础。该项目将增加对亚北极/北大西洋一个重要区域的了解，该区域今后将面临广泛的环境变化。
