Martin Edvardsson
 

Background

I completed by PhD in 2005 at Uppsala University in Sweden (my country of birth). My supervisor was Göran Arnqvist.  I am currently at the Centre for Ecology & Conservation at the University of Exeter in Cornwall, where I am working primarily with Patricia J Moore, but also with Allen J Moore and John Hunt on reproduction and quantitative genetics in cockroaches. I will be moving to the ANU in September 2008 on an ARC Post-doctoral Fellowship (2008-2010).
