Profile

Researcher interested in social evolution, social insects, chemical ecology, animal behaviour, behavioural ecology, genomics, proteomics, ageing, epigenetics, education.
For honeybees in particular, I am interested in bee health (and all measures that could maintain and enhance pollinator health) and in cooperation, conflicts and conflict resolution (policing, signalling). This includes studies on queen pheromones and fertility signalling.
I am also studying Vespa velutina as a threat to honey bees, ecosystems, and human health.
