Welcome to the Department of Zoology
The Department of Zoology has a long history, but is also very much with its time. It was founded in 1880, as the first at Stockholms University, and is continously changing to make room for new exciting research fields. The divisions for zoological ecology, ethology, morphology and population genetics are located in Arrheniuslaboratorierna, while systematics och evolution is mainly found at the Swedish Museum of Natural History. We also have a well-equipped research station a few miles south of Stockholm
Research
Our current research is focused on animal evolution, ecology and behaviour, but within a broad spectrum from nervous system to ecosystem and on model organism from fruit flies and butterflies to fishes, birds and arctic foxes. Not even human is excluded - we take part in the interdisciplinary Centre for the study of Cultural Evolution. Our research is experimental, but also theoretical within Stockholm Univerisity profile area quantitative biomodelling from molecules to populations.
