Short presentation
Professor in Conservation Biology. My research focus on (1) the evolution of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation of population and species in response to environmental changes, and of (2) biodiversity in urban areas. For more information, see my webpage.
I am course responsible for the course Ekologi och Populationsekologi. I also teach Behavioural Ecology and Ecological Methods.
