Free Scientific Software, databases in chemical ecology and entomology, and educational quizzes and interactive learning in chemical ecology and entomology. Also games of chance and the educational principles of combinations. Methods in ecology and simulation of animal behavior, such as insect dispersal, host plant finding, mass trapping with pheromones, mechanisms of orientation to pheromone, mate location, and mate finding.

Trichoindo is a research project entitled <<Use of oviposition-induced plant volatiles by Trichogramma parasitoids» (acronym Trichoindo) funded by General Secretariat for Research and Technology under the Operational Program “Education and Lifelong Learning” ESPA 2007-2013 ACTION “EXCELLENCE II” and is implemented in the laboratories of the Benaki Phytopathological Institute. The project objective is the isolation and identification of tomato leafminer oviposition induced volatile compounds that affect the behavior of egg parastioids Trichogramma.
