معرفی
Karin Norén is an Associate Professor and Researcher at the Department of Zoology, Stockholm University. She leads the Swedish Arctic Fox Project, focusing on the Arctic fox's (Vulpes lagopus) interactions with ecosystems, survival, demography, and genetics.
- University: Stockholm University
- Department: Department of Zoology, Ecology Division
- Academic Rank: Associate Professor (Docent in Swedish)
Her research spans Conservation Biology, Genetics, and Arctic Ecology. She investigates genomic consequences of inbreeding, genetic rescue, and fragmentation in endangered carnivores, particularly Arctic fox populations. Her work includes analyzing mutational load, survival strategies, and ecosystem dynamics under climate change and human impact.
Recent publications highlight genetic diversity, conservation genomics, and wildlife management in Arctic ecosystems. Key themes include genetic rescue, inbreeding depression, and population recovery using genomic tools.
She collaborates with institutions like the Oskar Klein Centre for Cosmo Particle Physics and contributes to global initiatives such as the European Reference Genome Atlas. Her work bridges theoretical and applied approaches to safeguard biodiversity in polar regions.
