MATHIEU LIHOREAU

CNRS Researcher

I am interested in the evolutionary relationships between brains, cognition and sociality. What are the cognitive demands imposed by social life? How much information must be treated and processing power required? How does it scale up at the collective level? To what extent environmental stressors affect these phenomena? I use a comparative approach to answer these questions in animals with tiny brains exhibiting a wide range of social complexities, such as bees, cockroaches and  fruit flies.

I am an ethologist using network tools to study complex phenomena. My research focuses on social information transfer in animal groups and its consequences on social interactions. My current project aims at evaluating and modeling the role of social and competitive interactions on resource partitioning in bees.
