Title: The effects of urbanization on ant colony life history

 

Research Interests: Lia is interested in exploring the effects of disturbance on ant colony-level life history strategies. Environmental disturbance has an impact on life history strategies, and urbanization and climate change act as disturbance factors that alter local temperatures, land availability, and soil composition. She plans to investigate how these factors impact life history strategies at the colony level in ants.
