Hans Petter Leinaas
Hans Petter Leinaas is a professor at the Department of Biosciences at the University of Oslo (UiO). His main research activity is on life history adaptations in ectotherms. He is currently studying the effect of temperature on growth and development rates, its implications for age and size at maturity, and the effect of temperature on body size, cell size and genome size. The objective of this approach is to better understand in role of phenotypic plasticity and microevolution of these traits in the adaptation to environments of contrasting climate conditions, and its implications for climate change and species invasion. Most of his research has been on springtails (Collembola), but he is also working on marine and intertidal systems, in particular on crustaceans. His study on adaptation to different climate conditions, has involved field work on polar areas (Svalbard, Greenland, the subantarctic Marion Island) and in temperate areas in Europe and South Africa. He received his Ph.D. at UiO in 1982, worked for about 10 years at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA), and became a professor at UiO in 1995. He has been the leader of a number of research projects funded by the Norwegian Research Council and UiO. In the DWARF project he is responsible for WP 1, but will collaborate closely with WP 2 and 3 (Hessen and Svenning).
