Biography
Peter Anderson is a Professor in the Department of Plant Protection Biology in Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. He contributes to the teaching on courses in Ecology, Plant protection and Insect Chemical Ecology.
Research Interest
Plant-insect interaction; Detection and neural integration of olfactory plant cues; Ecological consequences of phenotypic plasticity and the costs and benefits involvedduring host plant choice; Investigating behaviour and multitrophic interactions driven by olfactory cues important for Biocontrol methods; Investigating effect of plant resistance mechanisms on insect host plant choice and in multitrophic interactions.
