We are a dedicated team of researchers employing an integrative approach to explore ecological questions. Our methodology encompasses taxonomic identification and biodiversity assessment, alongside an analysis of the functional and behavioral responses of organisms to their environments. In our research, we utilize invertebrates as model organisms, addressing a range of issues through both laboratory experiments field observations. Additionally, we frequently implement physiological and molecular techniques to our understanding of the complex relationships between organisms and their habitats.
