Alain ROQUES is emeritus research scientist at the Orléans Forest Zoology research unit of INRAE, the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment. He has 40 years of experience in the biology, ecology and behavior of forest insects, especially focusing biological invasions and the effect of global warming on terrestrial invertebrates. He coordinated the inventory of alien terrestrial invertebrates in Europe within the DAISIE EU project. He was the editor of the books "Processionary moths and Climate Change: An update" and “Field Guide for the Identification of Damage on Woody Sentinel Plants”. He is currently leader of the joint international laboratory IFOPE (Invasive FOrest Pests affecting biodiversity and forest Ecosystems in Eurasia) created in 2018 between INRAE France and Beijing Forestry University (China) to develop joint research on invasive species associated to forests. He has published 7 books, 50 book chapters and 240 papers in international peer-reviewed journals.
