About me
Professor in Evolutionary Insect Ecology.
I am Head of the Department of Biology Education (BIG), and chair of the Advisory Committee for Undergraduate Education at the Faculty of Science.
Currently, I give the Master's course ”Science in Biological Research and Investigation”. In addition to these I also give stray lectures on various other courses.
In my group, we study the ecological and evolutionary interaction between butterflies and their host plants.
Most of our research focuses on understanding the evolutionary dynamics of host plant repertoires, host shifts, and speciation. And in particular how these phenomena are interrelated.
