International presentation of our work

During our Alpine field trip, we combined scenic hikes and swimming with the opportunity to present our research activities at three excelent scientific institutions in Switzerland and Austria (WSL – Martin Gossner; Agroscope – Felix Neff; University of Salzburg – Jan Habel). We also collected ladybirds for future phylogeographic studies. The trip was joined by our new colleague, Carlos Hernández-Castellano, whose research focuses on plant–bee interactions and interspecific relationships among hymenopterans. Welcome to the team, Carlos!
