Research
interest: |
I am especially interested in myrmecology
(studying ants). My main interests are (key words): Behavioural ecology,
Biogeography, Carpathian Basin, Conservation biology, Evolution biology, Myrmecophily,
Social parasitism and Tramp ants. Recently I have been working on the
relationship of the Laboulbeniales fungi and Maculinea butterflies with their host ants and parasites (my
current project is about the Rickia
wasmannii fungus) in the Carpathian Basin; and on the spreading of the
invasive garden ant (Lasius neglectus)
and its effect on the native ant communities in Hungary. I have learned the
GC-MS and microsatellite techniques in Denmark. |
