Mélanie Tannières Research Entomologistmtannieres@ars-ebcl.org
 Research projects Sanitary status of promising biocontrol agents
Impact of soil microbes on the fitness of the invasive weed*Ventenata**dubia.*
Characterization of Wolbachia endosymbiont in the released parasitoid*Psyttalia lounsburyi*for the control of the olive fruit fly in California
Microbial diversity associated with the olive psyllid
Microbial diversity and protists associated with the invasive stink bug *Bagrada hilaris*
Investigation of the soil microbial diversity of sand fly breeding sites
 Areas of scientific interest Her main research interest includes interactions of invasive plants and arthropods with microbial communities. A better understanding of the role of microbes in biological invasions can provide new pest control strategies. She is also responsible for the development and the maintenance of EBCL microbial collection containing more than 2000 isolates.
