Dr Geir Bolstad

Geir H. Bolstad is a senior research scientist at The Norwegian Institute for Nature research (NINA).

He works on understanding the dynamics of evolution and adaptation using a broad approach with research on both animal and plant systems, theory development and meta-analyses.

His salmon research focus on the genetic effect of escaped farmed salmon on wild salmon, genetic architecture, evolution of life history and maturation reaction norms, evolution of sexual dimorphism, adaptation to changes in water flow, and eco-evolutionary dynamics connecting evolution at large-effect loci with population dynamics.
