PostdocJon Andreja is interested in the mechanisms underlying the evolution of altruistic behaviour and sociality in insects. His main models are cooperatively breeding ambrosia beetles, which he studies in the field and using laboratory culture techniques. He developed novel experimental approaches to investigate the plasticity of social behaviour which includes permanent individual marking techniques, complex long term behavioural essays, olfactory choice experiments and automatized field trapping. While working on his MSc and PhD at the University of Bern, Switzerland, he investigated the role of insect-microbe interactions and habitat quality for social decision making. |
