Hasnae is a PhD student at the Université Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, Faculté des Sciences dhar el Mehraz, Fez, under the supervision of Prof. Abdellatif Janati-Idrissi. Prior to her PhD, Hasnae had completed a Master in ecology and conservation for sustainable development. Her PhD thesis focusses on the ecology and biology of dung beetles in Morocco, along an altitude gradient. Her role involves field collection, identification, rearing and running behavioural experiments. She is collecting important information that will inform the importation of dung beetle species in Australia. She feels privileged that her research project will direct applications.
