About

Dr. Antonino Cusumano is an Assistant Professor at the University of Palermo in Italy. His research areas encompass plant-mediated responses to herbivory, the effects of sugars on parasitoid longevity and fecundity, and the influence of microbes on nectar and parasitoid interactions. Recent publications include studies on symbiont-induced plant responses, bacterial community effects on host organisms, and the foraging strategies of plant-associated insects.
