CeMEB/IMAGO | University of Gothenburg, Sweden
The Linnaeus Centre for Marine Evolutionary Biology, CeMEB, brings together a broad expertise in biology. We focus on evolutionary processes and mechanisms in marine species and populations. A main goal is to increase our understanding of how marine organisms adapt to new environmental conditions, for example changing sea water pH, temperature and salinity. We started in July 2008, when we were selected for a ten year Linnaeus grant awarded by the Swedish Research Councils.
Ola Svensson | University College of Borås, Sweden
Ola Svensson is a long term collaborator, with remarkable knowledge in fish behaviour (especially cichlids and gobies), but also trained in genetic techniques, including microsatellite DNA for parentage analysis, QTL mapping, etc. Active within CeMEB and responsible for the sand goby part of the Imago genome sequencing project. Joint projects include sperm competition in fishes and ecological speciation in aquatic environments.
Adam Jones | University of Idaho, USA
I have collaborated with Adam since we were both PhD students. We share a similar interest in understanding sexual selection, using both theoretical and empirical approaches. Joint projects include effects of sneakers on sexual selection in sand gobies, sexual selection on females in the monogamous West Australian seahorse, and scope for post copulatory sexual selection on females in pipefishes.
Glenn Moore | Western Australian Museum, Australia
Glenn and I share a passion for seahorses in Australian waters. Having spent hours together diving in incredibly silty waters around Perth, Glenn has the sharpest eyes when it comes to spotting these shy animals. He is now curator of fishes at the Western Australian Museum.
Lucy Woodall | University of Exeter, UK
Seahorse biologist (who has also worked on many other creatures, such as bumblebees and deep sea organisms in the Indian Ocean) Lucy has a keen interest in using molecular techniques to understand species and population determination and dynamics. Ongoing project (with Glenn Moore, Erica Leder, et al) includes species determination and population genetics of Australian seahorses.

Erica Leder | University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Erica is broader than most researchers in her practical knowledge and theoretical understanding, being a wizard in genomics and bioinformatics, she is able to bridge that all the way to physiology and behavioral and evolutionary ecology. Erica and I collaborate on numerous ongoing projects on both seahorses and gobies. She was a co-supervisor of former PhD student Leon Green.
Ingrid Ahnesjö | Uppsala University, Sweden
Ingrid supervised my own PhD project, and we have continued to collaborate extensively after that, both on theory related to sexual selection and on empirical projects using pipefishes as our study organisms. Ingrid co-supervised two of my former PhD students with me, Ines Braga Goncalves and Gry Sagebakken.
Kenyon Mobley | University of Helsinki, Finland
Kenyon Mobley has done many field seasons at Kristineberg, first as PhD student of Adam Jones (Texas A&M University), collaborating on pipefish with my group, then as post doc of Trond Amundsen and Elisabet Forsgren, working on two-spotted gobies. Using molecular techniques, Kenyon has investigated questions related to sexual selection, parental care and sex roles. Thus, we have many interests in common! More recently he has worked in Manfred Milinski's group in Plön, Germany, and is now with Craig Primmer, Univ of Helsinki, Finland.
Charlyn Partridge | Grand Valley State University, USA
Like Kenyon Mobley, Charlyn Partridge has done lots of field work at Kristineberg when she was PhD student of Adam Jones (at Texas A&M University), working on pipefish in collaboration with my group. Charlyn is particularly good at bridging the gap between physiology and evolutionary ecology. After a post doc with Bryan Neff in Canada, she is now back in the US at Grand Valley State University.
Leigh W. Simmons| The University of Western Australia, Australia
Leigh Simmons hosted me during a wonderful post doc at the University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia. That time and later, using both bushcrickets and seahorses, we have tested questions related to OSR and sexual selection theory. We have also written a review together on sexual selection before and after mating.

Sami Merilaita| University of Turku, Finland
Sami Merilaita is an evolutionary behavioral ecologist who has focused his pioneering work on understanding evolution of protective animal colouration. However, he has also done some work related to natural and sexual selection on reproductive behavior, working both theoretically and empirically - some of which we have done together.

Karin H. Olsson| Marine Monitoring, Lysekil, Sweden
I supervised Karin Olsson's Master and Bachelor projects (in that order). She then spent a few years in Denmark working on her PhD thesis at DTU-Aqua, before briefly re-joining my group. Since then, she's been based in the UK, Israel, and now in Sweden again, and our joint projects continue. Karin is clever, dedicated and a joy to collaborate with.
Carin Magnhagen| Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Umeå, Sweden
Carin Magnhagen supervised me when I did my Bachelor project and when I started as PhD student in Uppsala. We have since then done many good goby studies together.
Malin Ah-King| Stockholm University, Sweden
Malin Ah-King did her PhD at Stockholm University with Birgitta Tullberg as main supervisor, when I held a position as Assistant Professor (FoAss) there. Our shared interest in evolution of reproductive behavior soon led to several collaborative studies related to male care evolution.
Elisabet Forsgren| NINA, Norway
Elisabet Forsgren is my "sister-in-science". We were PhD students together at Uppsala University, working on sand gobies, originally with Carin Magnhagen as our supervisor. Elisabet and I share interests related to understanding how selection varies in time and space. We hope to collaborate again - this time maybe on questions related to the invasive round goby.
Kai Lindström| Åbo Akademi University, Finland
I have collaborated with Kai Lindström since we were both PhD students. We share a similar interest in understanding natural and sexual selection, using both theoretical and empirical approaches. Current collaboration includes female biased OSR and female-female competition, e.g. driven by food availability.

Colette St. Mary| University of Florida, USA
Colette St. Mary has a broad interest spanning from ecology to evolutionary behavioral ecology of fishes. A shared interest in comparing fish living in different environments (and for good laughs and for margaritas!) has brought us together.
John C. Avise| University of California, Irvine, USA
John Avise supervised Adam Jones when Adam and I first started collaborating. Despite never having met in person, we have since then been involved in multiple joint papers.
