Bengt Hansson
Könskromosomer och artbildning
Jag doktorerade vid Lunds universitet 2003. Därefter fick jag ett Marie Curie fellowship och en tjänst som postdoc vid University of Edinburgh. Jag återvände till Lund 2006.
Sedan 2017 är jag professor i evolutionsbiologi vid biologiska institutionen. Jag är PI (Principal Investigator) i forskargrupperna Könsskillnadernas genetik och Molekylär ekologi och evolution. Jag är också PI vid Linnéprojektet CAnMove.
Min forskning följer två huvudspår: könskromosomer och artbildning. Könskromosomer och deras gener kodar för skillnader mellan hanar och honor. Jag och forskargruppen studerar könskromosomernas evolution.
Anpassningens betydelse
Inom artbildningen intresserar jag mig särskilt för ekologisk artbildning och undersöker vilken betydelse som anpassning till olika miljöer har för processen när arter bildas. Bland annat forskar jag på isolering och hur isolering påverkar artbildning. Hybridisering är ett annat område som jag studerar.
I min forskning använder jag populationsgenetik, kvantitativ genetik och populationsgenomik.
