Global Assessment of Predation Rates
ABOUT US
During his PhD, Marco contributed to developing the artificial caterpillar method to quantify predation pressure in different habitats. His interests include also other ecosystem services provided by arthropods and the development of non-lethal tools for entomological studies.
Ezequiel is currently studying how the temporal continuity of flowers impacts insects in small horticultural farms. His PhD focused on the spillover of insects between native forests and soybean crops, with a focus on pest control. In the past, he investigated the relevance of different non-crop habitats for arthropod communities and ecosystem services and studied how pollen grains can be used as biological markers to track and simulate lacewing movement in agricultural landscapes.
Michal's interests include searching for supporting measures to promote biodiversity in intensively managed agricultural landscapes and various aspects of insect biology, such as physiology, ethology, and evolutionary biology. He has worked extensively on carabids and ladybirds.
