Like its educational and publishing activities, the Montréal Insectarium’s conservation and research activities are one of the institution’s main pillars. Constant efforts are made for the institution to act as a global hub for a network of entomologists, contributing to the advancement of entomological knowledge, particularly in the field of taxonomy.
Several other Insectarium specialists are actively involved in various research projects: Thierry Boislard, Mario Bonneau, Marie-Ève Gagnon, Dominic Ouellette, and Thomas Théry.
