During my Ph.D at the University of Tours – France, I studied the impacts of environmental constraints on a thermogenic plant-pollinator relationship. I looked in depth the consequence of environmental perturbations and microclimate on the floral traits and the thermal biology of pollinators.
I’m currently interested in the impact of microclimate on ant behaviour, and more specifically on the invasive species Tapinoma magnum. I want to better understand the effect of microclimate and environmental temperatures on ant activity. The thermal landscape is not homogeneous and the consequences on the workers are often underestimated. I’m therefore seeking to determine whether thermal fluctuations modify the behaviour of individuals in species’ workers.
