General interests

I am mainly interested in the influence of the physical environment on insects. For my PhD thesis, I am focusing on these effects at two different scales: (1) at behavioural level, on the effects of habitat structure on foraging behaviour and (2) at ecological level on the influence of environment on ant spatial distribution.
