@PestinfoW @OufensouSafa Very nice paper

[Grégoire Noël @NoelGregoire]

Very proud to share the last chapter of my PhD thesis. After the discovery of a suprising diversity of insects under the Brussels pavements, we proposed management guidelines to support bee and wasp species nesting in highly urbanised areas. https://t.co/LG4Ea92ZGV

For a short research stay at CABI Delémont/Switzerland, I had the privilege to work with #Marc #Kenis, an Entomologist and specialist in insect parasitoids identification.

I look forward to seeing the results of this collaboration.
