معرفی
Per-Eric Betzholtz is a Researcher in the Department of Biology and Environmental Science at Linnaeus University's Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. His work focuses on ecological and evolutionary mechanisms in insect populations, particularly moths and butterflies.
- Specializes in climate change impacts on insect biodiversity
- Studies species traits driving range expansions and conservation
- Active in urban ecology and population viability analysis
His recent publications analyze drought effects on moth populations (2025), long-term range shifts (2023), and coloration as adaptive trait (2020s). Research trends emphasize climate-driven phenology shifts, thermophilic species' responses, and trait-based conservation strategies.
Betzoltz collaborates with Dr. Anders Forsman and Dr. Mats Franzén on multi-decade projects including urban moth communities (2020), species-area relationships (2019), and historical range expansions (2013-2023). He leads the project 'Cascading effects of drought on farming/grazing and farmland biodiversity' within the Evolutionary Ecology group at EEMiS research center.
