About me
I am a professor emiritus (retired) of Animal Ecology. I still do some reseach (in particular evolution of insect/plant-interactions). I am a member of the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences.
I teach Science theory.
In my final personal project I studied the evolutionary ecology of insect-plant relationships in a subproject of my broader series of projects on insect phenotypic plasticity. In my research as a whole I have strived for a synthesis between the host plant work and the other subprojects, which deal with areas such as effects of temperature and photoperiod on insect life histories and life cycles, and the effects of phenotypic plasticity on speciation and extinction processes. Phylogenetic analysis is an important tool for such questions, and for this reason I am also very interested in butterfly systematics.
My scientific articles can be found at my Google Scholar profile.
I have also published a book together with Niklas Janz: "Understanding Science: The Web of Trust", Cambridge University Press, 2026.
