Overview
About the programme
Ecology research at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences covers a broad spectrum of techniques, for example DNA analyses, tracking large animals, experiments in the field or lab, and monitoring organisms or entire ecosystems in the wild.
The PhD students contribute with important knowledge on fundamental ecological questions. Often the knowledge can be applied at nature conservation, wildlife management, forestry or agriculture. We collaborate with other universities, local authorities, industry, farmers and the public sector.
