Anna Eklöf is a Professor of ecology at Linköping University, specializing in theoretical ecology. Her research interests encompass the analysis, modeling, and theory related to the structure, dynamics, and functioning of ecological networks. Eklöf aims to provide a detailed understanding of the factors driving species interactions to enhance knowledge of ecosystem functioning in response to disturbances such as biodiversity loss and climate change. Her work focuses on the intricate networks formed by species interactions and how these networks can be analyzed from both large-scale statistical perspectives and specific interaction properties. Eklöf collaborates with empirical researchers to work with a wide variety of ecological networks, addressing critical questions such as what traits determine the presence or absence of species interactions. Additionally, she explores the consequences of species extinctions on ecosystem dynamics, using both topological and dynamical models. Eklöf is also interested in the spatial dynamics of ecological networks, focusing on how local and regional processes affect population dynamics and species dispersal.
