During the last few years my main interest has become mostly focused on gaining a greater understanding of the interactions between species and how this affects the ecosystems as a whole. I believe that we need this increase in knowledge to properly manage\/restore natural ecosystems in a sustainable way, especially in ecosystems where humans and other introduced species (e.g. invasive mink) have a significant negative impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bMy master thesis will mainly involve metabarcoding of scats from the invasive mink (<em>Neovison vison<\/em>), to investigate its diet in a river ecosystem and if there are spatial and temporal variations. This will be a part of an ongoing and long-term project in Steinkjer, Tr\u00f8ndelag, where the main goal is to eventually reduces the mink population in order to restore the spawning streams of the struggling sea trout (<em>Salmo trutta<\/em>), as well as the habitats for other possibly affected native species. This project will involve a lot of fieldwork and labwork, which will provide great experience for my future career and, hopefully, results that can benefit future management efforts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I completed my BSc in Ecology and Nature Management at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN), where my bachelor thesis involved studying interactions between parasitic tick species and their rodent\/shrew hosts.
