Responsibilities

Curation of the Hymenoptera collection, focusing on groups of parasitic Hymenoptera and sawflies that are poorly known in Sweden. Loans of Hymenoptera. Teach entomology at Swedish Museum of Natural History and Stockholm University.

Research Interests

I am interested in the evolution and systematics of Hymenoptera and at the moment I am involved several projects on poorly known sawflies and parasitic wasps with a strong focus on the Northern European fauna. We are making taxonomic revisions based on phylogenetic trees and illustrated identification keys.

I am becoming increasingly interested in the history of entomology in Scandinavia and study entomologists that have been important for Hymenoptera research.
