Dr. Per Hallgren

This is my rudimentary home page. Now you can read my doctoral thesis, "Ecological consequences of plant hybridization in willows: inheritance patterns of secondary compounds and herbivore foraging behaviour", here in pdf. You may also have a look at my slides for my presentation of my thesis.

I have recently published a paper in BMC Ecology on BioMed Central. The peer review and publication process was handled professionally and quickly.

BioMed Central supports the important goal of making biological research papers free to all, and this alone justifies our support. This together with the effectiveness of their publishing processes leads me to recommend BioMed Central journals to you, when you consider where to publish your research. You should be able to find all the information you need about submitting papers at BioMed Central.

The paper is freely available to anyone, and looks great on the BioMed Central site: Effects of willow hybridisation and simulated browsing on the development and survival of the leaf beetle Phratora vitellinae, Per Hallgren, BMC Ecology 2003, 3:5
