معرفی
Victor Johansson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM) at Linköping University, specializing in ecological research with applications in conservation. He holds a dual role, working 50% at the university and 50% at Calluna AB, indicating a part-time academic appointment.
His research focuses on landscape and metapopulation ecology, particularly population persistence modeling under climate change and management scenarios. He has extensive experience with colonization-extinction dynamics and dispersal of sessile species such as lichens, mosses, fungi, and vascular plants. Recently, his work has expanded into pollinator ecology, especially the population dynamics of butterflies in response to grazing and extreme weather events.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend in conservation-oriented ecology, with studies on biodiversity in Swedish oak forests, fire-dependent beetles, habitat edge effects on butterflies, and long-term vegetation dynamics in protected areas. These works reflect interdisciplinary approaches combining field ecology, modeling, and conservation policy implications.
