Rencontre "La vie de famille des insectes"

While family life is well documented among birds and mammals, it often remains little known—or even unimaginable—among insects. Yet insects exhibit a surprising diversity of parental care behaviors, far removed from common stereotypes. 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.
