Hi!
My name is Jesper (he/him) and I began 2024 in the best way possible, by starting a PhD on bird migration in the newly formed MigPerform group. In my PhD I will explore what behavioural and physiological adaptations allow birds to perform migrations previously thought impossible, together with my supervisors Sissel Sjöberg and Åke Lindström.
As a keen birder from Sweden, I found it natural to come to Lund for my bachelor’s in biology. I quickly fell in love with the town and the university so I ‘ve stayed ever since. In my theses, I’ve worked with habitat effects on population trends in bluethroats and willow warbler hybrid zone dynamics. After dipping my toes in the private sector, I’m happy to be back in research and I look forward to working with and getting to know you all better!
If not at the Ecology building or out birding, you’ll probably find me running trails or climbing in Kullaberg.
See you around!
