Research Area

My research fields span from pollination and insect behavioral ecology, the reproductive biology of orchids, plant-animal interactions through floral cues, and pollination applied to agroecological models. Key crops on which I worked are native Vanilla and Cacao. I have also investigated the composition, biodiversity, and human health implications of bee products and food sources; among these honey, bee venom, nectar, pollen, and ground-nesting bees' provision.
