Fiorella Esquivel

Fiorella Esquivel is a Researcher at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Canberra, affiliated with the School of Engineering and Technology. Her work focuses on the sensory systems and anatomical adaptations of arthropods, particularly ants and honeybees.

• Research Focus: Neuroanatomy, visual navigation, and biomechanics in social insects
• Collaborations: Regularly works with researchers like Ajay Narendra and Stefan Ribi
• Current Email: f.esquivel@unsw.edu.au

Her publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining behavioral ecology, functional morphology, and sensory biology. Key studies include sexual dimorphism in spider locomotion, honeybee stinger mechanics, and ant navigation under varying environmental cues.

Recent article trends reveal a focus on arthropod sensory adaptations using high-resolution imaging, kinematic analysis, and electrophysiological methods across nocturnal and diurnal species. Collaborative work with institutions in Germany and Australia indicates strong international research networks.
