Introduction
I am interested in a variety of aspects concerning insects, from ecology and biodiversity to conservation and evolution. My PhD focuses on the potential for interactions between arthropods and entomopathogenic fungi to influence arthropod species richness (Borneo, Malaysia).
I am also managing a project concerning ant biodiversity in Cusuco National Park (Honduras). The BINCO ant workgroup "MyrmEcoDex" is currently mounting and identifying these collected specimens from 2018 and 2019.

Ant diversity in tropical montane rainforests is globally understudied. This is true for Cusuco National Park (CNP), a cloud forest ecosystem in northwestern Honduras that supports geographically isolated and threatened habitats. The current study presents the first comprehensive ant species checklist for CNP, which is also the first ant checklist...
The balance between costs and benefits is expected to drive associations between species. While these balances are well understood for strict associations, we have no insights to which extent they determine facultative associations between species. Here, we quantified the costs of living in a facultative association, by studying the effects of red...
The bat fauna of the Adriatic islands is relatively poorly known. Seven species were documented so far on the remote Adriatic islands of Vis and Biševo (Croatia). This study aims to increase knowledge on the bat communities on these islands. Bat echolocations were recorded between 30 April and 11 May 2018 at seven sites showing bat presence. Calls...
Inventarisatie fauna, flora & fungi Wolvenberg en Brilschans
Ringpark Groene Vesten - Antwerpen
De Wolvenberg en Brilschans zijn twee gebieden die ingebed zijn in stedelijk milieu, tussen grote verkeersinfrastructuur: de Wolvenberg ligt tussen de Singel en het ringspoor, de Brilschans ligt tegen de Antwerpse ring. Beide sites waren vroeger onderde...
A checklist of the species of leaf beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) of El Salvador is presented based on data from literature and a digitization project of the Bechyné collection of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS). The RBINS collections contain a total of 2797 individual chrysomelid specimens from El Salvador, sorted into...
