I study resource limitation, population dynamics, and community composition of breeding waterfowl on nemoral and boreal lakes. This involves experimental as well as descriptive work with colleagues Gunnar Gunnarsson, Elsie Kjeller, Lisa Dessborn, and Pär Söderquist (Kristianstad university), and in collaboration with Hannu Pöysä (Joensuu, Finland), Celine Arzel (University of Turku, Finland), and with Petri Nummi and Sari Holopainen (Helsinki, Finland).

When it comes to waterbirds I also study how processes on breeding grounds are related to those on staging and wintering areas farther south in Europe. The aim is to gain an around-the-year understanding of individual behaviour in relation to population- and community-level processes. This work is done in collaboration with Celine Arzel (Turku, Finland), and Matthieu Guillemain and Jocelyn Champagnon (ONCFS and Tour du Valat, Arles, France).

Other recent projects address the conflict between wild geese and agriculture, specifically how management can be developed to mitigate such problems. This work is done in collaboration with phd student Camilla Olsson, with the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Johan Månsson, Lovisa Nilsson), and the Swedish Sportsmen's Assocation (Niklas Liljebäck).

My of my teaching takes place on our programs in Landscape Science, but sometimes I appear in courses in other programs (gastronomy and teachers' ed). I mainly teach ecology and related disciplines, but am also happy to contribute to our courses in faunistics and floristics.
