Event: "Family Life Among Insects"

Family life is well documented among birds and mammals, but it often remains little known—or even unimaginable—among insects.
Yet these animals exhibit a surprising diversity of parenting behaviors, far removed from the clichés.
Discover these fascinating behaviors through examples of exotic and local species, and take a look
behind the scenes of these family dynamics, where subtle conflicts play out. Deciphering these interactions allows us to see
how insects shed new light on our understanding of family life among animals,
including humans. What if insects played an essential role in our understanding of life?
An interview with Joël Meunier, research director at the CNRS, Institute for Research on Insect Biology.
