Présentation de la recherche :

Biogeography: assembly rules, alpha/beta/gamma diversities

Functional Ecology and ecosystem functioning: evaluating FD estimators, functional niche, defining functional traits, BEF relationship

Community ecology: dynamic and spatial structure of communities

Ecosystem services: quantifying ES, ES bundles, BES relationship

Fish ecology: defining traits, identifying assembly rules, identifying functions of fish species

I'm a functional ecologist.

When looking at a species, I usually wonder "hum, what are you doing here?". That is the main rationale of my research: linking biodiversity to ecosystem functioning, identifying which drivers shape community structure and evaluating the stability of these complex relationships.

Lately, I have been interested in bringing more functional ecology into conservation (or the other way around ?). To be continued...
