Profile

I am a pollination ecologist. My research focuses on the ecology of plant-pollinator interactions. I'm especially interested in understanding the factors that drive and that disrupt such interactions. Within this framework I conducted my PhD studying the effect of a non-native plant on the resident plant-pollinator communities. Currently I am conducting a postdoc exploring the combined effect of pesticides and pathogens on communities of native crop pollinators. My research combines both experimental and observational field studies and different spatial scales (from close vicinity to landscape). I'm interested in agricultural and urban areas as study systems
