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\n\n\n

I have a broad interest in insect ecology. During my master’s degree in Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution, I worked at the University of Lyon on the use of species distribution models (SDMs) to infer hybrids zones between two cryptic ant species. Now, I joined the University of Lausanne to do my PhD in Cleo’s group<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I joined the University of Lausanne to do my PhD in Cleo’s group titled ‘The ecology and evolution of colour in ants<\/strong>‘<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my thesis, I will use colour as a trait to test ecological and evolutionary hypotheses. I will do this on different spatial scales, using a large-scale database, field studies and experiments, I want to improve our knowledge of\u00a0:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Diversification of colour in ants, thanks to information on color, species distribution and phylogenetic relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Color fitness benefits (resistance to hight temperature, UV, drought and parasiste)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the ecology and evolution of colour in ants should also help to elucidating the mechanisms of color evolution and potential consequences for species responses to anthropogenic climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
