Hello, my name is Colin Olito, and I am a new postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Jessica K. Abbott’s group. I was born and raised in Alaska, but my academic life has taken me, and my family, around the world.
Although I have a background in evolutionary ecology, I underwent a bit of a metamorphosis into a theoretical population geneticist during my PhD. My main research interests include sexually antagonistic selection, the evolution of hermaphrodite mating and sexual systems, sex chromosome evolution, and the population genetic factors driving major evolutionary transitions in flowering plants.
I’m excited to be a part of this vibrant ecology and evolutionary biology department here at Lund, and hopefully starting some new collaborations. My family and I are also looking forward to exploring the Swedish wilderness, so any camping and hiking advice is most welcome. See you at fika!
Hi! Some of you might recognise me from my many stays here during my PhD with my suitcase full of flies. However, I’ll be here more permanently this time as a postdoc with Jessica Abbott continuing the work from my PhD.
I did my PhD with Ted Morrow at University of Sussex with the main focus on sexual antagonism and its impact on sex chromosomes in Drosophila melanogaster. I did two main projects, one long-term evolution experiment still ongoing in Jessica’s lab and a shorter evolution experiment looking at coevolution between the sex chromosomes.
Hej, I’m Rebecca (but please call me Bec) and I’m a new postdoc working with Martin N. Andersson in the Pheromone Group. I just moved to Lund from the Sunshine Coast in Australia. Last year I finished my PhD at the University of the Sunshine Coast, where I studied olfactory receptors in the Crown-of-thorns starfish, which is a major pest on the Great Barrier Reef. Here in Lund I’ll be working on the evolution and function of olfactory receptors in beetles, which are pests in the beautiful Swedish forests.
I fredags var det dags för institutionens första bioblitz. En bioblitz går ut på att inventera alla arter inom ett visst begränsat område under 24 timmar. SACT hade fått ihop ett (mer …)
Snart går Anne Fogelberg i pension. Igår fylldes Ekologihusets foajé med folk som ville visa sin uppskattning och tacka Anne för hennes nästan tio år på institutionen. Sedan december 2008 har hon arbetat som forskningsadministratör, först på (mer …)
Nature has recently published two interesting articles highlighting the importance of diversity in science.
These labs are remarkably diverse — here’s why they’re winning at science discusses the benefits of diversity.

Hej, I am a new postdoc fellow in Tobias Uller’s group. Despite the Scandinavian last name, I am originally from Australia and hardly speak a word of Swedish!
I recently completed my PhD in the Marine Evolutionary Ecology Group at Monash University in Melbourne. My PhD work combined life-history and metabolic theories, where I worked on maternal energy investment strategies in fish and marine invertebrates. I am now shifting to a terrestrial system in wall lizards where I will work on mechanisms underlying maternal effects that facilitate rapid, counter-gradient adaptation.
I’m looking forward to meeting people in the biology/evolutionary ecology department at Lund, and learning about the work that goes on here. I’m particularly interested in physiology, developmental biology and life-history theory, but am also keen to know any tips you might have on adjusting to Swedish life, plus any good hiking and diving spots in Europe!
The purpose of a sabbatical is to enrich and renew a university employee’s academic life by allowing them uninterrupted time to think and do research. According to its Biblical origins, the sabbatical, or Sabbath, is a break from (mer …)
I morse var det dags för SACTs årliga exkursion till Krankesjön för att titta på fågel. Klockan 04.30 samlades en liten skara något sömniga entusiaster utanför Ekologihuset. Men när solen började gå (mer …)
