Why have you become a Myrmecologist?:
Since 1998 I had the opportunity to take part in scientific expeditions to Central Asia. I decided to collect ants because I was fascinated by this insects since my early youth. So far I could participate in nine expeditions to the Tian Shan (Kyrgyzstan / Kazakhstan / China), to Mongolia and to the lake Baikal (Russia). My aim is to work on the antfauna of the Palaearctis and especially the Eastpalaearctis both ecologically and taxonomically.
