I am working as researcher and associate professor (docent) at the Department of Zoology, Stockholm University and my position and research are financed by the Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and Spatial Planning (FORMAS), and by the Swedish Research Council (VR). I am also Coordinator of the graduate school in biology, see website.
My research has mainly been concerned with life history evolution and adaptive plasticity, using different species of butterflies and beetles as model systems. I have also worked with the evolution of host plant use in Chrysomelid beetles. Currently I am concentrating on the evolution of body size and developmetal plasticity in insects but I am also continuing my research on the evolution of growth strategies and host plant use. You may find a more exstensive description of my past and present research under the research link.
