I lead a research group based at the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway, with ongoing collaborations and affiliations in Scotland and Sweden. We study how variable selection shapes and maintains biodiversity, combining evolutionary theory, fieldwork, and applied ecological research. This site highlights our research, teaching, and collaborative work. I welcome inquiries from prospective students and collaborators.
Our research
Our group studies how ecological and evolutionary processes shape biodiversity, with a focus on variable selection, fitness trade-offs, and the dynamics of ecological interactions. We combine empirical work, simulation modelling, and applied research in conservation and pest management.
