Research:
My research aims to understand the genetic processes underlying adaptation in free-living populations and species.
The group's research program aims to understand the genetic processes underlying adaptation in free-living populations and species. We also use the obtained knowledge as the basis for developing conservation and management guidelines which can be applied in a wide range of endangered and exploited populations and species. Studies can be grouped into three related themes: i) Local adaptation mechanisms, ii) human induced adaptation and iii) evolutionary immunogenetics. Research on these topics includes several study species and systems covering a range of ecosystems and geographic scales, including European grayling (Thymallus thymallus), Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and Ficedula flycatchers
