Dr. Mats Otto-Kristian Ittonen
Research Fellow in Macroecology
I am broadly interested in biogeography and particularly the consequences of climate change on species distributions. For my PhD at Stockholm University, I studied evolutionary adaptation during a butterfly species’ climate change-driven range expansion, but in my postdoctoral work I am expanding my focus to macroecology and different taxonomic croups. My primary focus is on soil fungi that interact with plants, but I also plan to study the spread of agricultural pest insects.
