Tomas Roslin is a researcher at the University of Helsinki. His main interest is in the metacommunity dynamics of insects inhabiting patchy resources. His research on dung beetles focuses primarily on the effects of habitat fragmentation on populations, species and assemblages. Tomas is currently investigating how dung beetles respond to large-scale changes in agricultural landscapes and how species-specific responses reflect into crucial ecosystem services.
