I am a new PhD student under the supervision of Professors Susanne Åkesson and Åke Lindström. My research will focus on Winter Ecology and Movements of Barn Swallows Hirundo rustica. My research questions cover aspects of migration and connectivity of the swallows breeding in Europe and wintering in western and southern sub-saharan Africa. I hold a Bachelors of Technology degree … Läs mer →

Hej! My name is David Gómez Blanco and I just started my PhD at the molecular ecology and evolution lab, under supervision of Prof. Dennis Hasselquist. During this PhD, I will be investigating the relationships between mild disease, immune responses and aging; and how these factors are associated with reproductive and life history strategies in studies on wild birds. I … Läs mer →

Hej! I‘m a theoretical evolutionary biologist and a new postdoc in Tobias Uller‘s group. During my PhD at Humboldt University, Berlin, I worked on bacteria called Wolbachia, which are famous for ingeniously interfering with arthropod reproduction and development. In the course of this work, I became increasingly fascinated by the diverse interplay between evolution and development . Therefore, I am … Läs mer →

Hi everyone! My name is Tobias and I am a new postdoc working with Per Persson. My research interest is in soil organic matter decomposition and in my current project we focus on root exudation and mineral-bound organic matter. We aim to understand mechanism through which root exudates destabilize bonds between minerals and organic matter. Mineral-organic matter bonding in soils … Läs mer →
