invasive Lasius neglectus van Loon, Boomsma et Andrásfalvy,
1990 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and its competition with the native ant
communities in Hungary. 36 pp. (in Hungarian)
PhD

2008, PDF
Position: Senior lecturer
Teaching
activities: Zootaxonomy course, Analysis of animal populations and
communities, Supervision of BSc and MSc students
Research interest:
I am especially interested in myrmecology (research on ants) but I
also like reptiles and amphibians. 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 Maculinea butterflies with their host ants in the
Carpathian Basin and Denmark; 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.
