Our group works at the interface of behavioural ecology and ecotoxicology. We study how individual behaviour is shaped by the presence of environmental cues or anthropogenic stressors, and how these responses scale up to influence the dynamics of animal aggregations, colonies and populations, combining laboratory experiments with computer simulations.
For BiodivFuture, we are interested in joining a consortium as a partner contributing behavioural profiling of pollinating insects (high-throughput characterisation of individual behaviour under controlled conditions) and estimation of pollinator functional diversity at the community and landscape level.
