Biography

Christoph Grueter is an Associate Professor of Animal Behaviour at the University of Bristol. His research primarily focuses on the behaviour and ecology of social insects, particularly their communication, learning, and decision-making processes. Grueter aims to understand the molecular basis of worker behaviour and how these insects integrate different sources of information to inform their collective actions. His work includes investigating the variation in species concerning division of labour and the factors affecting insect biodiversity, particularly in pan-tropical forests. Grueter has also supervised numerous thesis projects related to honeybee ecology and other social species, contributing significantly to the field with a growing number of academic publications.
