Our main research interests are animal (in particular insects) – plant interactions from ecological and practical points of view and natural conservation. We also have a special interest in the direct interactions between mammalian herbivores and plant-dwelling insects. Specific fields of interest: Direct interactions between mammalian herbivores and plant-dwelling insects. Ecology, evolution and biogeography of gall-forming aphids on Pistacia. Diversity, ecology and evolution of oak gall-wasps. Manipulation of biochemical pathways by gall-forming insects. The mechanics and evolutionary significance of escape response in pea aphids. Whitefly – plant interactions
