Man-Dependence of House Sparrows (Passer Domesticus) in the Faroe Islands: Habitat Patch Characteristics As Determinants of Presence and Numbers
Man-dependence of House Sparrows (Passer domesticus) in the Faroe Islands: habitat patch characteristics as determinants of presence and numbers SVEN-AXEL BENGTSON, KIRSTIN ELIASEN, LAURA MARY JACOBSEN, EYDFINN MAGNUSSEN Abstract The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) began to colonize the Faroe Islands in the mid-1940s and occurs in most built-up areas. Breeding is confined to the discrete human habitations (settle- ments) that form a pattern of patches (”habitat-islands”). In 2002 all settlements were surveyed and the number of pairs of sparrows (total number ca. 2,700 pairs) and amount of vegetation (”green space”) were estimated. The settlements ranged in size from 0.01 km2 (a single farmstead) to 8.72 km2 (the capital) and 68% of them (n=118) were occupied by sparrows. Patch occupancy was positively correlated with both area and amount of vegetation (p < 0.001) but not quite with the degree of isolation (p = 0.15). The latter was crudely scored as a function of distance to nearest Man-dependence of House Sparrows in the Faroe Islands UÊÓÓÇ Dorete - her book, Annales Societatis Scientiarum Færoensis, Suppl. 52, pp. 227-243.

The patch variables area, human population, number of houses and houses were strongly intercor- related. Abundance (number of pairs) of sparrows was positively correlated with the number of houses (r = 0.84, p < 0.001). In all but one of the settlements with < 10 houses sparrows were absent, and also in many of those with 10-60 houses where the scatter swas wide (no significant correlation p = 0.25). -

Copyright University of Aberdeen 2013 ii Jolley & Passey C46-47-01 Abstract This study integrates the results of a field visits and subsequent laboratory analysis of volcanic and sedimentary rocks in the Malinstindur and Enni formations, Faroe Islands Basalt Group. Field mapping of stratigraphical sections allied to petrographic analysis has identified two competing shield volcano sourced flow fields in the Enni Formation. These shields are thought to be around 45 km in diameter, and were centred around Sandoy in the southwest, and around Svínoy and Fugloy in the northeast. -

Aspects of Hanse Archaeology in the Faroe Islands
Aspects of Hanse archaeology in the Faroe Islands SÍMU N V. ARGE Arge, S. V. 2019. Aspects of Hanse archaeology in the Faroe Islands. AmS-Skrifter 27, 277–289, Stavanger, ISSN 0800- 0816, ISBN 978-82-7760-183-0. Compared to the neighbouring countries in the North Atlantic, very few sites in the Faroe Islands can be interpreted as trading sites ascribed to German merchants. This paper deals with physical evidence found around the islands that might attest to such activity. It is based on place-name evidence, local oral traditions, and, not least, archaeological remains, such as buildings and artefacts. A few sites are examined, and the presence of the Germans in the capital of Tórshavn is particularly discussed. Two of the most characteristic buildings at the peninsula of Tinganes, the Munkastovan and Leigubúðin, are reinterpreted. The site of Krambatangi on the island of Suðuroy is equally important for this discussion. Archaeological investigations took place there in 1952. The place-name as well as local tradition connected to the site suggest the presence of a merchants’ booth – a trading site – located by a very fine natural harbour. The site is located close to the local assembly site in the village of Øravík. Símun V. Arge, Tjóðsavnið. Faroe Islands National Museum. Nature and Culture.

Movement in an Insular Community: the Faeroe Islands’ Case
MOVEMENT IN AN INSULAR COMMUNITY: THE FAEROE ISLANDS’ CASE Toomas Lapp (1979–2010)1 The ocean can be a linking way or an isolating factor. For the Faeroe Islands, movement is at the origins of their population, but its history has revealed itself surprisingly sedentary. After the Vikings stopped there and populated the islands, where lived already the famous “Irish monks” – who were also supposed to have migrated in order to get to those desert islands, the Faeroese population has remained stable and stationary. Why? Which are the mecha- nisms that have dissuaded the population to pursue its once mobile way of life? How the sea is perceived in the archipelago – has it allowed and encouraged the contacts between the islands or, on the contrary, prevented the movement of the Faeroese within their internal space? How commerce and contacts with other powers affected the Faeroese communities? To all these questions this paper hopes to give an answer based on the analysis of the Faeroese experi- ence throughout the centuries. The Faeroe Islands are an archipelago of eighteen rock islands in the North- ern Atlantic, in the middle of a triangle formed by Norway, Iceland and Scot- land. From the administrative point of view, it is an autonomous region within the Kingdom of Denmark, and is inhabited by about 50.000 persons whose language is Faeroese, a Scandinavian language close to Icelandic. They live nowadays mainly from fishing and discuss more or less actively of becoming independent from Denmark, as the Islands’ territorial waters are thought to contain rich oil fields. -
