Masters students are encouraged to apply to the lab to carry out their thesis projects. We have supervised a number of masters students in the past, advertising a range of projects about insect ecology and invasion. We typically work with students from the University of Lausanne, but have also taken students from other institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsa joined the group in February 2021 for her masters project under the supervision of Olivia Bates<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My project will investigate the extent of niche-shifts in a cross-taxa assessment of invasive alien species. I will look at how common niche-shifts are, compare niche-shifts between different taxa and look at how the results vary depending on the use of different climate data types and resolutions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah joined the group in 2021 for her master project, under the supervision of Gyda Fenn-Moltu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah worked on traits linked to invasion success in thrips (Thysanoptera), using a comparative approach to study the influence of asexual reproduction and feeding niche during different stages of the invasion process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project title: The role of reproductive mode and feeding niche in biological inva<\/em>sions<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riyo Shiga<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Riyo joined the group in 2021 as a first step with Lucie Aulus-Giacosa<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For her project, she investigated how different beta-diversity measures could influence the delineation and definition of bioregions in ants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zo\u00e9 Sherpa <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I joined the group in 2020 and did both my first step and master projects with J\u00e9r\u00f4me Gippet<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my Master project, I investigated the trade in invertebrates as pets. I was interested in the relationship between the pet trade and the global spread of invasive species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project title: Quantifying the global internet trade in invertebrates as pets<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my First Step project, I worked on the spatial-temporal quantification of the online pet trade in ants between 2017 and 2020. Part of this project was used in a paper published in 2023 in the journal Conservation biology<\/a>!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First step project title: The growing global pet trade in ants promotes invasive species<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, I re-joined the group as a PhD student<\/a>!!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nora Khelidj <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I joined the group in 2020 for my Master project under the supervision of Tim Szewczyk<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my project, I worked on different species of ants from the genus Myrmica<\/em>. I analysed different morphological traits along the elevation gradient. The goal is to investigate how elevation (and climate) affect ants’ morphology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am now doing a PhD at the Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics<\/a>, at the UNIL.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Project title: Assessing the temporal and spatial dynamics of biological invasions in the era of globalization<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I modeled the link between the globalization of human activities during the last two hundred years and the introduction of non-native species at global scale. This project was published in Ecology Letters<\/a> in 2021!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am now doing a PhD<\/a> in the group.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
