MSc Internship at University of Turku, Finland

2020-2021

In my second master’s internship, I participated in a research project that examined the variation and patterns in colour morph frequencies of the polymorphic leaf beetle across spatial and temporal scales. Using museum and collection materials, we examined 13,617 individuals across Eurasia to identify environmental factors that could explain polymorphism levels.
