Dr. Lucie Aulus-Giacosa<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I joined the group in July 2021. I am currently working on the definition of ants and insects\u2019 bioregions. I am interested in how dispersal of alien species redefines biogeographic areas. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Tongyi Liu<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I joined the research group in February 2024, with a focus on human-mediated dispersal. I am currently working on understanding the role of globalization in the worldwide spread of invasive ant and insect species.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Mathieu Leclerc<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m currently interested in the impact of microclimate<\/strong> on ant behaviour<\/strong>, and more specifically on the invasive species Tapinoma magnum<\/em>. I want to better understand the effect of microclimate<\/strong> and environmental temperatures<\/strong> on ant activity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Aymeric Bonnamour<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I joined the group in February 2020 as a master student, working on global invasion models. I started a PhD in October 2020. I am investigating the impact of globalisation on the spread of alien species.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tristan Klaftenberger<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I joined the group in September 2021. I am currently interested in the distribution, roles and evolution of color in ants at different spatial scales.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Eddie P\u00e9rochon<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n


I joined the group in July 2022. During my PhD, I am investigating the role of environmental factors in shaping the variation and plasticity of social organization in ant species.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dr. S\u00e9bastien Ollier<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I am particularly interested in multivariate analysis, spatial statistics and comparative analyses. I work on spatiotemporal invasion dynamics and the evolution of color in ants. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
