Research themes
In the context of the researches in the laboratory on the biology and genetics of forest insect populations expanding under the effect of anthropogenic changes, my activities are structured within the following activities :
- “Biological invasions” around the objective “Definition of identification tools and tracing the origin of invasive insect species in Europe”,
- “Expanding populations under the effect of climate change” around the objective “Precision of the evolutionary history of the pine processionary moth to better understand current expansion”.
