Niklas Janz is a Professor in Evolutionary Insect Ecology at the Department of Zoology, Stockholm University. He serves as Head of the Department of Biology Education (BIG) and Vice Chair of the Faculty of Science's Advisory Committee for Undergraduate Education, teaching courses like 'Ecology I' and 'Science in Biological Research and Investigation'. His research focuses on evolutionary dynamics between butterflies and host plants, investigating host shifts, speciation, and ecological network modularity. He leads research group Janz, analyzing how environmental changes affect herbivorous insect interactions through phylogenetic modeling and network analysis. Recent publications examine ancestral ecological network transitions, host repertoire evolution, and reconciling diversification hypotheses in phytophagous insects. Key findings demonstrate how gene expression patterns in generalist butterflies reflect evolutionary adaptation rather than plant phylogeny. Scientific awards and honors are not explicitly mentioned in the provided text. His laboratory specializes in butterfly-plant coevolutionary studies using advanced network-theoretical approaches.
