Alain Dejean’s research centers on the behavior, ecology, and interactions of ants, particularly arboreal species. His work has explored how ants build traps, protect host plants, and capture prey using innovative methods like the “Velcro® principle.” Dejean has published extensively on ant predation, aggressiveness, and the mutualistic relationships between ants and plants. His research also addresses the impact of environmental changes on ant communities, such as habitat disturbance and climate change. He has been a pioneer in studying myrmecotrophy, where plants shelter ants in exchange for protection and nutrients. His work in French Guiana has revealed invasive ant presence in urban areas and the complex dynamics between ants and their environment. Dejean’s collaborative projects, such as venom studies in Pseudomyrmex ants, have broadened the understanding of venom composition and toxicity, advancing knowledge on insect-plant interactions and ecological resilience.
