Lars Hillström has a PhD in Animal Ecology from Uppsala University and has a position as a Lecturer in Biology at the University of Gävle. I have a background in studying animal behavior in different species of birds. My PhD thesis was about studying behavior in relation to reproduction in the Pied Flycatcher. I have also been studying behavior in other birds, such as seabirds and raptors. During the last ten years I been working with different projects related to conservation biology, among them sustainable fishery in the Baltic Sea and ecological effects of wild boar in the boreal forest landscape. I am currently involved in three different projects.
