Research interest
Zoology and Evolution are the two main keywords describing my research activities. The main topic on which the two terms found a common field are biological interactions and symbiosis. It is possible to identify four periods in my research: (1) Eco-ethology of social hymenoptera; (2) Intracellular symbiosis (bacteria within animal cells, such as Wolbachia); (3) Animal-microorganisms interactions at the community level (not only intracellular relationships); (4) Metagenomic approaches to food sciences.
