I started working as a post doc in March together with Jörgen Ripa and Jacob Johansson in ThePEG, at the Evolutionary Ecology unit. Last year I defended my thesis in computational mathematics at Umeå University in northern Sweden. My research is about understanding bumblebee coexistence and response to environmental change. To do this I use optimization and techniques from adaptive dynamics. Our basic assumption is that bumblebees compete for many flower resources which have different peaks during a season. The question is if and how the bumblebees will specialize in a flower resource, and how the resources will coevolve with the bumblebees.
