Profile

Outline Activities

Prey-predator or host-parasitoid population dynamics, evolutionary ecology and speciation, using both laboratory experimental systems and agricultural/forest ecosystems. Effect of global environmental changes such as global warming and atmospheric CO2 rise on predation/parasitization systems. Spatial population dynamics. Chaotic population dynamics. Preadaptation towards pests. Host-plant shift as a possible cause of speciation in herbivores. Anthropogenic, host-plant use, or geographic effects on genetic population structure of pests. Effect of herbivorous insects on seed germination in Fabaceae. Population structure, Wolbachia infection, and evolutionary dynamics of the alfalfa weevil, an invasive pest of leguminous plants. Image-based machine learning of insect species and gender.
