General
The laboratory's research interests are in ecological and evolutionary genetics, as they relate specifically to insect-plant and insect-environment interactions. We combine ecological and genomic tools in order to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying insect adaptation to biotic and a-biotic environmental constrains: synthetic insecticides, plant defensive chemistry and more recently, climate changes.
Research
Our research activities include these main topics:
-
Ecosystem services and dis-services
-
Land-use effects on pollinators and pollination
-
Pollinators health and virus transmission
-
Conservation and restoration of pollinators
-
Tools for biodiversity quantification and mapping
