Why parasites?What roles do parasites play in ecosystems? How can they influence their hosts? How will climate change affect the transmission and disease dynamics of parasites in aquatic environments? Can animals be afraid of their parasites? These are some of the questions that I address in my work as an ecological parasitologist.
I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Arctic and Marine Biology at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. I have conducted research projects in South Africa (North-West University), New Zealand (University of Otago), Denmark (Aarhus University), the Czech Republic (Biology Centre CAS), and Germany (University of Duisburg-Essen). Here you will find information on my current work, publications, project partners and contact details. Thanks for visiting! |
