Biography:

I'm an entomologist based at the Laurentian Forestry Centre (Quebec), studying the impact of natural and human-induced disturbances on insect biodiversity in the boreal forest.
My field of expertise is essentially on beetles of Eastern North America with an emphasis on the following families:
-Staphylinidae
-Elateridae
-Carabidae
-Buprestidae
-Cerambycidae


I also started to slowly work on Membracidae and Cicadellidae here in Canada.
