个人简介
I am a professor in animal ecology with a broad interest in evolutionary and behavioural ecology. Much of my research centers around aspects related to “eco-immunology” – a relatively new and interdisciplinary research field that examines interactions among host physiology and disease ecology in a range of environmentally relevant contexts. My research encompasses theoretical, methodological and empirical studies related to various eco-immunological issues such as the identification and quantification of immune costs (both in terms of physiology and Darwinian fitness), direct and long-term (hidden) costs of infection (telomeres and senescence), sexual selection and honest signaling, sexually antagonistic selection (e.g. on immune gene (MHC) diversity and immunity effects of maternal programming (antibody and hormone transfer to offspring).
A backbone of my research is the ongoing long-term project on the great reed warblers at Lake Kvismaren, Sweden. Over the last 35 years, I have coordinated a multitude of ecological studies on this unique study system (e.g. studies on the social and genetic mating systems, bird song, inbreeding, malaria parasites and geolocator studies). The data generated in this project includes a large multi-generational pedigree, based on >3000 DNA-sampled individuals, of which we for >800 have detailed information on lifetime reproductive success, lifespan, behaviour and morphological traits. These data provide the base for very good estimates of Darwinian fitness, as well as for QTL mapping, selection and microevolution studies of behavioural (e.g. spring arrival) and morphological traits. Other research themes are molecular and genomic ecology, e.g. immune gene evolution, telomere ecology and sex chromosome evolution in birds.
