About

The PhD-candidate position is a part of Centre for Biodiversity Dynamics (CBD) at the Department of biologi, NTNU.
Study species: house sparrow
Study systems: Helgeland, Vikna, Lauvøya
Focus: dispersal
Main aim: investigate demographic and environmental causes for dispersal among populations, and consequences of dispersal both on individual level and on population level, e. g. potential genetic contribution from a disperser in a population.
