I am interested in the study of climate change's impact on biodiversity and the urgency of addressing it, conservation methods for preserving biodiversity when dealing with management of pests and invasive species, ecology to understand organism-environment interactions, and behavior analysis in diverse contexts. I employ ants as a model organism due to their complex social structures, behaviors, and ecological roles, providing valuable insights into the natural world. Basically, I am an ant person, and Atta laevigata is one of my favorite species - it's all about leaf-cutter ants!
