I’ve always been intrigued by the complexity of biotic interactions between plants and animals. This curiosity led me to join the BugNet project in the community ecology division for my master thesis.

My experiments focus on mollusks which have been poorly studied. I’m interested in their relationships with other plant-consumers such as the insects and pathogenic fungi. The aim is to understand how these organisms influence the mollusks development, whether through competition, facilitation, or mutualism. By conducting my research in various European grasslands, I seek to provide a comprehensive understanding of how environmental factors contribute to the dynamics of these interactions within plant communities.
