Forskningsintressen

Ett forskningsområde handlar om släktskapsförhållanden mellan olika fågelarter, huvudsakligen baserade på molekylära fylogenier.

Fylogenier på artnivå – frågeställningar om artgränser, biogeografi och karaktärsevolution

Fylogenier på högre nivå – taxonomiska frågeställningar på släktes och familjenivå.

En undersökning av djurlöss (ordning Phthiraptera) som parasiterar på svenska fågelarter, med mål att dels klarlägga djurlössens förekomst i Sverige och dels fokusera på kryptisk artbildning och co-evolution bland de arter som förekommer på vadarfåglar (ordning Charadriiformes).

Ansvarig: Urban Olsson (docent) Deltagare: Daniel Gustafsson (doktorand).
