We are a group of researchers who use an integrative approach to answer ecological questions. Our method spans from taxonomy and biodiversity recognition to understanding the functional and behavioural responses of organisms to their environment. In our studies, we utilize invertebrates as model organisms, addressing various issues through laboratory experiments and field observations. Our research frequently incorporates physiological and molecular techniques to improve our understanding of the intricate relationship between organisms and their surroundings.
