I am an agronomist and I have a master degree in plant protection with a specialization in entomology. My master thesis was about the toxicity of the components of orange essential oil on Mediterranean fruit fly (med fly) adults.
Also I have worked on a study regarding the categorization of the described Tephritidae fruit flies (pests or not). For the PhD I am working on the establishment of new populations, dispersal and flight ability of the Mediterranean fruit fly.
