Michael Bertram Email & Phone Number

I am a behavioural ecologist / ecotoxicologist researching the impacts of human-induced environmental change on ecological and evolutionary processes in wildlife. In particular, I am interested in uncovering how exposure to ‘emerging’ forms of chemical pollution can disrupt complex traits and behavioural processes in wild animals. I address these questions using a combination of lab and field approaches in order to uncover how contaminants affect animals across multiple levels of biological organisation, from individuals to populations and communities. Increasingly, I am interested in upscaling environmental realism in behavioural ecotoxicology—e.g. field exposures, multiple stressors, high-resolution acoustic telemetry. I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Wildlife, Fish, and Environmental Studies at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, working within the Aquatic Ecology Research Group, as well as a Guest Researcher in the Department of Zoology at Stockholm University, and an Adjunct Research Associate in the School of Biological Sciences at Monash University. I am also an Associate Editor at Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences and a Board Member at the International Panel on Chemical Pollution (IPCP).For more about my research, visit michaelbertramlab.org
