Current Research Topics

 

  • Study of dispersal and colonisation mechanisms for species that carry out biological invasions
  • Study of mechanisms that explain impacts of introduced species
  • Participation in the development of management strategies for invasive populations

 

Projects

In addition to the RODENT and PIM projects described below, I participate in:

  • Decrypting Relationships between Exotic species And Mass extinctionS (DREAMS program) of the French Foundation for Research on Biodiversity (FRB)
  • The study and management of introduced rodent populations on small islands in the French West Indies and identification of mechanisms that explain endemic reptile extinction
