My early investigations focused on the conservation of wild pollinators.

Building on this interest, I am now pursuing a PhD on the impact of managed honeybees on wild bees in agroecosystems, through competition for floral resources, as part of the BEENERGIA project (Bridging Ecological and socio-Economic scieNces to Enhance our undeRstandinG of the Interactions between mAnaged and wild bees).

As a growing number of studies suggest that bee management may contribute to wild bee declines, the goal of my PhD is to uncover the mechanisms of floral resource competition and to understand their consequences on the reproductive success of wild bee species.
