Introduction
My broad interest lies in animal behavior from the non-anthropocentric spectrum. In my (Ph.D.) research, I focused on personality in spiders by approaching different behavioral contexts: foraging, host-parasite interaction, sexual behavior (intersexual conflict), and cognition.
I am also deeply captivated by areas: comparative cognition; decision-making, animal intelligence, the evolution of sociality e t c. I am fascinated by:

In a few species, males often face a choice between mating and/or cannibalizing females. Various factors influence this decision, making it essential to decipher the role of male behavioural variation. In particular, aggressiveness has been proposed to face sexual selection and increase the incidence of cannibalism in such systems. In this study, w...
Ants often face injuries during foraging, or interspecific competition, elevating infection risk and mortality among the wounded. To avoid this, ants engage in wound care on injured nestmates as a form of social immunity. In this study, we show that Cataglyphis nodus desert ants perform differentiated wound care behavior, depending on wound locatio...
Jumping spiders display some of the richest visually mediated behaviours in nature. Vision is indeed the most important sensory modality in these spiders where motion detection and response to visual stimuli allow key behaviours such as hunting, escaping from predators and mating. These spiders have been used in various experiments demonstrating th...

Wolbachia is known to manipulate a host’s reproduction to promote its own transmission. However, recent studies show that it can influence some behavioural processes in hosts, including personality, and personality-related behaviours. So far, information about the effects of Wolbachia infection on the host’s non-reproductive behaviours is still ver...
Personality traits, such as boldness and/or aggressiveness, have long been accepted to have a profound influence on many aspects of the lives of animals, including foraging. However, little is known about how personality traits shape the use of a particular attack strategy. Ground spiders use either venom or silk attack to immobilize prey. In this...
Generalist predators have evolved a variety of behavioural adaptations in prey capture to effectively subdue different prey types. Such predators use a conditional hunting strategy. Among spiders, representatives of Gnaphosidae are known to use either venom attack (subduing prey with venom) or silk attack (subduing prey with silk). In this study, w...
The evolutionary history of prey specialisation differs among spider species, particularly among active wandering species which have evolved a variety of prey-capture tactics. Here, we conducted a comparative analysis of prey specialisation and prey capture behaviour in Gnaphosidae. We used nine species each representing a different genus and inves...
A study of Dysdera LATREİLLE, 1804 in Azerbaijan indicates a new species. Somatic and genitalic characters reveal that the only male specimen from Nakhchivan belongs to an undescribed new species, D. nakhchivanica nov.sp. Characters for distinguishing D. nakhchivanica nov.sp. and morphologically similar to some species. Here are given comparative s...
