Torbjørn Ekrem
About
Research interests
I am interested in evolution, systematics and biogeography, in particular of non-biting midges of the family Chironomidae (Diptera). My research focuses on taxonomy, biology, phylogeny, zoogeography and molecular systematics of genera and species in the tribe Tanytarsini, but I am also involved in work with other groups of animals and plants. Among these, tardigrades through the project Tardigrades in Norwegian forests.
The last few years I have been heavily involved in various projects testing and using DNA barcoding in biosystematics. I am currently chairing the Norwegian Barcode of Life network and project (NorBOL) which is a national research infrastructure on DNA Barcoding. NorBOL aims to develop a barcode reference database for Norwegian species to support barcoding in applied and basic reserach. I am also coordinating the work package on sampling for barcoding in the Horzon Europe funded project Biodiversity Genomics Europe and represent Norway in iBOL.
I am leading the reseach group on Integrative Taxonomy and DNA Barcoding (TAXA) at the Department of Natural History.
Teaching
The last couple of years I have lectured courses in biosystematics, biogeography and molecular techniques (BI1002, BI2001 and BI8002) at the NTNU Department of Biology.
Scientific collections
I am curator of Diptera, Hymenoptera, Arachnida and a few minor insect orders at the NTNU University Museum.
Competencies
Research
Biodiversity Genomics Europe (BGE)
BGE will accelerate the use of genomic science to enhance understanding of biodiversity, monitor biodiversity change, and guide interventions to address its decline. BGE is funded by Horizon Europe and coordinated by the Naturalis Biodiversity Center.
Norwegian Barcode of Life (NorBOL)
NorBOL is the Norwegian National Research Infrastructure for DNA barcoding.
Tardigrades in Norwegian forests
Funded by the Norwegian Biodiversity Center's Taxonomy Initiative, this project has as goal to document tardigrade diversity in different forest types in Norway and analyse community characteristics of different substrates.
