Research subject Population Ecology

Plants are host to a wealth of microbes, both beneficial and antagonistic, and these may be found both on aboveground plant structures and in the roots.

This project will investigate the contribution of cyanobacterial blooms to fish production and contaminant bioaccumulation in the Baltic Sea.

Global climate change mitigation through the preservation of natural biological carbon sinks is of the highest importance to face the threats to our planet but poses ample challenges for society, governments and policy makers around the world.

I am fascinated by the spatial and eco-evolutionary dynamics of host-parasite interactions. We do lack some generality though: many of the existing studies have (for good reasons!) focused on single pathogen species, and on non-systemic diseases with high extinction-colonization rates.

In this project we study habitat preferences, population dynamics, phenology and host plant preferences in six co-occurring species of burnet moths in southern Sweden. Yearly inventories have been carried out since 2012 and currently include about 100 sites with burnet moths.

Baltic herring, also known as "herring" north of Kalmar Sound, was previously the most common fish and a keystone species in the Baltic Sea ecosystem, connecting lower trophic levels with higher ones.

Small-sized pelagic fish have a central role in marine food webs as they control production of predatory fish and at the same time feed on zooplankton and indirectly control algal blooms.

The aim of this project is to move beyond the simple recognition that selection is spatially and temporally variable and understand what ultimately drives variation in selection.

A large-scale insect collection project taking place in Sweden and Madagascar. The main aim of the project is to describe in detail the insect faunas of these two biologically and geologically very different countries.

There is currently a pressing need to adapt crops to future climates by breeding drought- and heat-resilient varieties. Wild crop relatives harbor untapped genetic variation for breeding but remain underutilized due to the lack of efficient methods to identify beneficial variants in collections.
