Isa Wallin
Presentation
My name is Isa Wallin and I started my PhD on ecological effects and local adaptations of invasive species at the Institute of Coastal Research in Öregrund in March 2017. Originally from Uppsala, I moved to Gotland in 2009 to study marine and brackish water ecology, and most of my previous work has focused on different aspects of flatfish ecology (particularly reproductive features and early lifestages).
Forskning
In my PhD project I will investigate the invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) and how it is affected by and affects the Baltic Sea coastal ecosystem. I will explore life history characteristics in areas where the round goby is well established compared to areas of recent invasion, round goby diet plasticity, the degree of utilization by native predators and other types of ecological effects on the native fish fauna.
