Research
At the interface between organismal biology and community ecology, my research aims to better understand and predict the structural (species diversity and composition) and functional (flows of matter and energy, functional traits) responses of communities to natural and anthropogenic environmental changes.
To meet this objective, I study two biological compartments: aquatic and terrestrial macroinvertebrate communities and fish communities.
My research combines empirical approaches (observations in natura), in situ and ex situ experiments, and modelling approaches at various spatial (local to continental) and temporal scales (days to millenia) to address specific questions.
Current Research Topics
My current research in the Conservation and Restoration of Aquatic Ecosystems research group (UMR ESE) is in the context of restoring the ecological continuity of the Sélune River (removal of two dams: Vezin and la Roche-qui-boit). My research aims to understand the subsequent modifications in trophic relationships and the structural and functional diversity of aquatic and terrestrial macroinvertebrates in relation to i) the colonisation dynamics of new habitats (river bank, channel), and ii) interactions with riparian vegetation.
