About

Professor Thomas Schmitt is a faculty member at the University of Würzburg in Germany. His research focuses on the chemical ecology of social insects, particularly the role of cuticular hydrocarbons in mating recognition, nestmate recognition, and bacterial microbiome interactions. Recent articles highlight his investigations into evolutionary patterns and species-specific chemical compositions within various insect taxa, including honey bees and bumble bees.
