Research Interests
My broad research interest is to understand how ecological interactions between and within species evolve and are maintained by studying behaviors and their mechanisms using a variety of approaches, from behavioral to molecular tools, and in non-model insect species. My PhD and previous post-doctoral projects explored symbionts-aphids-parasitoids interactions, and the spruce-moth interaction at several ecological levels. Currently, I am focusing on butterfly's male–female interactions, studying the evolution of pheromone communication systems and the mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity.
I mainly work with the butterfly Bicyclus anynana (pictured on the left here 👈 ), which is an interesting model to explore that question because it exhibit developmental and environmental plasticity in a lot of traits, including wing patterns, colors, and behaviors.
