Development, adaptation and implementation of molecular biology techniques for the study of the biodiversity of insect and mite communities and populations of agronomic and forestry interest (pests and beneficial organisms).

My work also covers:

• the analysis of the diet of arthropods,
• the detection of plant pathogens transmitted by insect vectors,
• the characterisation of the associated microbiota.
