A postdoc position in Evolutionary Ecology is available in The Strawberry Lab at SLU.
Plant resistance and tolerance to herbivores often show high complexity that results from interactions with multiple selective agents. Understanding the complex nature of plant defences against multiple herbivores, as well as the evolutionary and ecological consequences of attack by multiple herbivores, adds not only to our knowledge of the evolutionary ecology of plant-herbivore interactions, but is also likely to benefit attempts to find sustainable plant protection strategies.
The aim of this postdoc project is to gain knowledge about the evolutionary and ecological consequences of attack by multiple herbivores. Woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca L., will be used as a model plant. Please see the attached pdf for additional information.
