Jag är docent i Evolutionär Ekologi.

Undervisning

Jag är kursansvarig för kurserna Evolutionsbiologi och genetik (1Bi004), Beteendeekologi (1Bi003) och Etologi (2Bi004). Jag undervisar även i ekologi, miljövetenskap, vetenskapsteori och statistik.

Forskning

Min forskning handlar om beteendestrategier hos djur, med framförallt fiskar som modellorganismer. Mina forskningsprojekt handlar bland annat om:

-Hur manipulerar parasiter sina värddjurs beteende?
-Hur förändrar evolutionen främmande fiskarter när de invaderar våra vatten?
-Vilken roll har karotenoider och andra pigment i djurs färgsignaler?
-Vad påverkar djurs strategier för aggressivitet?
-Vilka strategier finns när djur skall välja partner?
-Vilka konflikter kan uppstå när hannen, honan eller båda tar hand om ungarna?
