Fish taxonomy, systematics, ecology and population genetics. Skates (Rajidae) is of main interest, but also Arctic fishes in general. I am more interested in fish species others does not care about.

Theory and practice of cross-disciplinary research
My research covers a broad spectrum of topics in evolutionary biology and ecology with the goal to understand the complex relationship between behavior, ecology, and the genetic architecture of organisms.
Currently, my main research focus is fish maturation and reproduction, particularly Atlantic salmon. My interests also include local adaptation and ecological speciation, population genetics, sexual selection and sexual conflict, the evolution of female ornaments, parental care and alternative mating tactics, parasites, and the effect of anthropogenic stressors on reproduction.
