Andreas Fahlman

Andreas Fahlman is an Adjunct Professor at Linköping University, affiliated with the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. He is actively involved in research and teaching, particularly in the field of comparative and conservation physiology of marine animals.

His research interests focus on respiratory physiology, diving responses, allometric scaling, and bioenergetics in marine mammals and reptiles. His work integrates physiology, zoology, and conservation biology to understand how animals adapt to aquatic environments and how such knowledge can inform wildlife management and rehabilitation efforts.

The recent publications (2024–2025) highlight a consistent research trajectory in comparative respiratory physiology across species, including bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles, and terrestrial mammals. Key themes include spirometry as a diagnostic tool, metabolic regulation during diving, and the scaling of physiological parameters with body size across phylogenetic lines.

Andreas Fahlman advises students in research projects related to zoo and marine biology. For example, he supervises Ioulia, a master’s student investigating energy requirements in dolphins at Kolmården Wildlife Park and Oceanografic de Valencia. His collaborations extend to international marine research centers, supporting hands-on training and conservation-oriented science. While no formal grants are listed, his work appears to be supported through institutional and collaborative partnerships.

He contributes to educational programs such as the Zoo Biology course, where students gain practical experience in animal research. This course is part of the International Master’s Programme in Applied Ethology and Animal Biology, indicating his engagement in graduate-level training and experiential learning.
