Chris is an aquatic ecologist interested in the broad question of how parasites interact with their environment, and how they function as integral components of ecosystems. His work focuses on trematodes that parasitize a wide range of vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. Chris studies the role of these ecologically important parasites in marine and freshwater habitats to better understand their contribution to the systems’ biodiversity, energetics and food webs, their impact on host behaviour, and their relevance as human and wildlife pathogens. Chris has conducted international research projects in South Africa, New Zealand, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Norway, where he works as an Associate Professor in Ecological Parasitology at UiT in Tromsø.
