I am an ecologist ± entomologist with broad interest in plant-insect interactions. I am patricularly interested in how tree diversity affects herbivore ability to find, reach and consume their host trees. My research combines observational and experimental approaches in the field and in the lab, as well as meta-analyses.

I am coordinating a citizen science project involving scientists and school children at European scale. Together, we are investigating the effect of climate on the bottom-up (tree chemical defenses) andtop-down (predation) forces controlling insect herbivory on oak trees.
