Biosketch
Hanna Laakkonen is lab manager for the Uller group at Lund University. In her PhD, Hanna studied genetic diversity and phylogeography of boreal and arctic marine fauna. She investigated genetic relationships (vicariance, dispersal, cryptic diversity, secondary contacts and introgression) of North Pacific and Atlantic animals in the timescale from Pliocene to Holocene. While her background is in phylogeography, she is particularly fascinated by adaptation to new environments, including the ecological drivers and evolutionary mechanisms behind it.
