François Dusoulier I am a curator of natural history collections, with specialization in entomology. I'm broadly interested in Heteroptera and especially the Pentatomoidea and Coreoidea of France and western Europe. I am trying to make the most exhaustive inventory of the Pentatomoidea of France preserved in public and private collections. These inventories will give a better understanding of species biogeography and ecology, and (I hope) systematics. The specimens and the entomologists who collected them are both studied as part of a 'naturalist culture' and of 'bioheritage.' I am currently specifically working on the genera Aelia, Stagonomus, and Carpocoris within the Pentatomidae, and on the genus Canthophorus within the Cydnidae.

Current Projects:
1) Biogeography and ecology of the Pentatomoidea of France, including field research, inventories of private and public collections, revision of specimens in collections, and research on host-plants.
2) Identification keys of the Pentatomoidea of France.
3) Studies on the systematic position of Aelia rostrata rostrata Boheman, 1852, and Aelia rostrata cognata Fieber, 1868 (with Roland Lupoli).
4) Biogeography and identification key of the Pentatomidae of the genus Carpocoris from France (with Roland Lupoli).
5) Studies on the systematic position of Stagonomus bipunctatus bipunctatus (Linnaeus, 1758) and Stagonomus bipunctatus pusillus Herrich-Schäffer, 1830 (with Roland Lupoli).
6) Studies on the genus Canthophorus in Europe, including systematic considerations of C. maculipes species group (with Jerzy Lis and Philippe Magnien).
