Garance Barbier is a Doctoral student at Umeå University with a research focus on the complexities of cognition, personality, affect, and life-history traits, particularly in relation to resilience in ant species, including the red wood ant. Her current project explores the impacts of contaminants on behavioral resilience and the correlations between personality traits and cognitive skills, as well as the trade-offs that individuals face in their environments. Through her research, she addresses significant questions such as how personality traits are related to performance and the implications of life-history traits in shaping personality and cognition. Additionally, she examines the effects of climate change on these traits and how they may face new selection pressures. Garance is actively involved in the Bioacoustics research group, contributing to our understanding of terrestrial ecology.
