Thierry Denis INRA Bordeaux / Agroecological health of the vineyard. He studies the behavioral ecology of insects and is trying to develop countermeasures based on their behavior. For him, the use of insecticides is not faultless because it disperses the insecticide in nature. Here, an experiment on a young nest seeks to determine the hornets' favorite food sources. France

Antoine Couto, 28 years old, doctoral student at the CNRS (national center for scientific research) of Gif sur Yvette. He studies the behavioral neurophysiology of the Asian hornet and seeks to discover which pheromones induce predatory action in the Asian hornet. That could allow for a sort of “counterattack” by injecting these pheromones into the hornets' nest and thus deregulate their social behavior. The hornets' nest would self-devour itself... Fracne
