Kompetanse:

Ornitologi, med vekt på artskunnskap, økologi, evolusjonsbiologi og atferd.

Jeg har en bred interesse for ornitologi med erfaring fra prosjekter innen evolusjonsbiologi, økologi, bevaringsbiologi og atferd.

Forskningen min er fokusert på evolusjonen av livshistoriestrategier (hovedsakelig eggstørrelse og kullstørrelse), evolusjonen av parbåndsystemer og kroppsstørrelse, samt foreldreomsorg og parbindingsatferd. Jeg studerer disse temaene i felt eller ved bruk av fylogenetisk komparative metoder.

Redaksjonell rådgiver i Ornis Norvegica: https://boap.uib.no/index.php/ornis

 

Jeg er engasjert i en rekke formidlingsprosjekter, for tiden primært som faglig leder for Utstillingsprosjektet (2011-2019) der vi arbeider med å lage nye utstillinger i den gamle museumsbygningen på Muséplass 3. Dette er en del av Museumsprosjektet 2014.

Jeg skriver også populærvitenskapelige artikler, formidler vitenskap og naturkunnskap i mediene, holder foredrag og svarer på naturrelaterte spørsmål i mediene og fra publikum generelt.

Prosjekter

For tiden dreier forskningen min seg mye om trekkfuglenes biologi der jeg bruker geolocator-teknologi for å studere årssyklusen og vandringer til trekkfuglene. Jeg er også spesielt interessert i vadefuglenes atferd, økologi og evolusjon. Mye av min forskning dreier seg om hekkebiologi og atferd i hekketiden, spesielt ruging, kullstørrelser, eggstørrelser og foreldreomsorg.

Mine prosjekter fokuserer hovedsakelig på fuglebiologi, enten ved studier i felt eller ved komparative studier. Noen mulige MSc-prosjekter beskrives nedenfor, men studenter som er interesserte i fugler oppfordres til å ta kontakt med meg for å diskutere evt. andre prosjekter også.

Tilgjengelige MSc-prosjekter:

The importance of predation risk on the evolution of clutch size in shorebirds

Most shorebirds (Charadriiformes) lay four pear-shaped eggs and reasons for this upper clutch size limit are debated. One of the hypotheses predicts that larger shorebird clutches would be more attractive and/or more easily detected by predators, and thus be selected against. This idea has rarely been tested, though. Here I suggest comparing predation rates in artificial nests with four and five eggs in order to test if clutches of five eggs are lost at a higher rate – regardless of parental care. The study could be carried out at Hardangervidda where several shorebird species are breeding. Students interested in this project should be prepared for field work in alpine environments.

Incubation behaviour in the Temminck’s stint Calidris teminckii

The Temminck’s stint is one of the smallest shorebirds and has a peculiar breeding system called sequential polyandry. Females may lay two clutches for different males where the first male takes care of the first clutch and brood and the female cares for the second one. The incubation behaviour in this species has never been studied in detail, and this is the goal of the current study. By using temperature loggers and/or small cameras the incubation behaviour will be monitored in nests incubated by both males and females. Research questions to address would be if the two sexes differ in incubation rhythms (frequency of periods off the nest, duration of incubation bouts or periods off the nest, seasonal variation in incubation behaviour etc.). It would also be interesting to measure if incubation efficiency of males differs from that of females and see if incubation behaviour varies with body condition and weather. This project demands a dedicated student prepared for field work in alpine environments.
