I am interested in evolutionary ecology and I did my PhD at the department for Animal Ecology, supervised by Roger Härdling and Erik Svensson. I am studying sexual conflict in two different systems; in diving beetles (Dytiscidae) and in the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus.
 In the diving beetles, I studied sexual conflict in relation to antagonistic coevolution between the sexes and maintenance of female polymorphism whereas in the isopod, I put sexual conflict in relation to the divergence of the species into two ecotypes and how colonisation of a new habitat may affect the conflict dynamics. The work on A. aquaticus is carried out in collaboration with Fabrice Eroukhmanoff and Sanna Harris and together we also study behavioural syndromes and predation responses in the two isopod ecotypes.
