Gustaf Ekelund Ugge – new PhD student

My name is Gustaf Ekelund Ugge, and I have now re­turned to the Aquatic Ecology group to do my PhD. I did my bachelor and master studies at Lund University, with a main focus on ecotoxicology. In 2015 I gained a Master’s degree in biology and ecology, and have since been working for Toxicon, an environmental con­sultant agency, with ecotoxicological testing and environmental risk assessment.

My research will focus on application of transcriptomics in assessment of environmental pollution, and will be part of a collaboration project involving Lund University and University of Skövde, as well as two private companies, Toxicon and TATAA Biocenter.

Frida Rosengren – ny bibliotekarie

Mitt namn är Frida Rosengren och jag är ny bibliotekarie i Biologibiblioteket. Jag disputerade 2015 i ämnet växtekologi och systematik. Nu har jag tagit bibliotekarieexamen och återvänder till Ekologihuset i en ny roll. Som bibliotekarie kommer jag att arbeta med exempelvis inköp, användarstatistik och undervisning. Välkommen till biblioteket med dina frågor! Jag bor i Dalby med min man och två barn. På min fritid tycker jag om att leta strandfynd, botanisera, spela rollspel, rita samt läsa, främst science fiction och serier.

My name is Frida Rosengren, I am the new librarian in the Biology library. I finished my PhD thesis in 2015 within the subject plant ecology and systematics. Now I have a degree in library and information science and have returned to the Ecology building in a new role. As a librarian, I will work with for example acquisition, user statistics and teaching. Welcome to the library with your questions! I live in Dalby with my husband and two kids. On my spare time I like beachcombing, botanizing, role playing games, drawing and reading, foremost science fiction and graphic novels.

Adrian Bell – postdoc in Vision group

My current postdoctoral research is conducted within the Lund Vision Group under the supervision of Dr Marie Dacke and Dr Basil el Jundi. It sets out to establish how dung beetles are capable of orientating away from their dung pile using multiple sensory modalities, specifically wind and light information.

My scientific career started at Newcastle University, UK, where in 2010 I completed my BSc in Biology. I stayed on there to complete my MRes in Animal Behaviour in the Institute of Neuroscience. I then moved to Brighton in 2012 to start my PhD in Neuroscience in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Sussex.

Katja Kozjek – new PhD student

In 2014 I have completed my bachelor`s degree in microbiology from University of Ljubljana, Slovenia (Biotechnical faculty) and in 2017 master`s degree in microbiology from University of Innsbruck, Austria (Faculty of Biology).

Currently, I am working on my PhD project at Lund University. The PhD project is integrated into a new Biodiversity project that started in January (2017) and is a collaboration among 5 European partners. The aim of the PhD project is to provide knowledge of the functional diversity of microorganisms in soils by identifying key functional genes and the organisms behind the genes.

Minnesord över Lillemor Lewan

Docent Lillemor Lewan, Lund, har som tidigare meddelats avlidit i en ålder av 82 år. Lillemor Lewan var tidigare universitetslektor vid zoofysiologiska institutionen och vid sin bortgång emerita vid biologiska institutionen. Närmast anhöriga är maken Nils och barnen Lisbet, Tomas och Mats med familjer.

Lillemor föddes i Lund och växte upp i Stockholm. Efter studentexamen valde hon att studera vid Lunds universitet. Där lärde hon känna Nils i Lunds studenters folkdanslag. Hon studerade kemi, botanik och zoologi till en fil.mag.-examen och fick därmed kompetens som gymnasielärare i dessa (mer …)

Erik Borgström – new project assistant

My name is Erik Borgström and I am just about to start my work as a project assistant in SandLife. SandLife is a nature conservation project with Lund University and the CABs of Skåne, Halland and Kalmar as project partners, aiming at preserving and restoring sand steppe and other sandy biotopes in southern Sweden. These biotopes declined drastically around 100-200 years ago when formerly cultivated sand-rich soils were abandoned, and restoration actions include clearing of Japanese Rose, creating areas of exposed sand and conservation burning. My task will be to help out with the coordination, compilation and evaluation of the monitoring of target species including vascular plants, hymenopterans, butterflies, birds and beetles.

During the summer I will take part in some of the monitoring of vascular plants myself and the rest of the year you will most likely found me stuck with a lot of field data from the last few years…which hopefully will lead to the conclusion that given carefully planned and evidence-based nature conservation actions there is still some hope (and maybe even a brighter future) for our beloved Dianthus arenarius (sandnejlika) and other sand-loving species!
