Rate My Professor Michael Bertram

Michael Grant Bertram is an Associate Professor in the Department of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, where he works within the Aquatic Ecology Research Group. He is a behavioural ecologist and ecotoxicologist whose research examines the impacts of human-induced environmental change on ecological and evolutionary processes in wildlife, with a particular focus on how exposure to emerging forms of chemical pollution disrupts complex traits and behavioural processes in wild animals. He employs a combination of laboratory and field approaches to investigate contaminant effects across multiple levels of biological organisation, from individuals to populations and communities, and increasingly emphasises upscaling environmental realism in behavioural ecotoxicology through methods such as field exposures, multiple stressors, and high-resolution acoustic telemetry.
