RESEARCH TOPICS


Our research is mainly integrated within the ecology and environment axis of the Institut de Recherche en Biologie Végétale. The work is based on several biological models and is carried out in the laboratory, in greenhouses, in agricultural fields, but preferably in a natural environment.

Keywords: Plant-insect-natural enemy relationships • Biological control
