    Research interests

    Kvantitative metoder (statistisk og matematisk modellering, study design) i Økologi og Evolusjonær Biologi. Er interessert i både populasjons-, samfunns- og økosystemsøkologi, og i dyr, planter og andre organismer. Stort fokus på effekter av klimaendringer, og hvordan vi kan forutsi endringene i årene som kommer.
