I am an evolutionary biologist primarily interested in recent natural selection, genetic evolution and their interaction with the ecology and demography of wild animals. I work mostly with long term monitoring of animal populations in their natural habitat, using a combination of genetic analyses, statistical modelling and computer simulations to understand what drives recent changes in for instance the size, the behavior or the abundance of animals.
