Portrait of Prof. Dr. Flavio Roces

I am a behavioral physiologist interested in decision making and the mechanisms underlying the organization of social insect colonies. After earning a PhD in zoology from the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), I worked as a posdoc at the University of Erlangen (Germany), and finally moved to the University of Würzburg. My studies on ant societies are aimed, in a broad sense, to analyze the link between worker behavior and colony function, and combine physiological and behavioral research in the lab with ecological studies in the field. Current research projects are listed on the main page of my group (Behavioral Ecology).
