Research
My thesis project aims to evaluate the response of ecosystems to biological invasions, and specifically the red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). Using a long-term approach in aquatic mesocosms, I analyze the various biological compartments (phytoplankton, zooplankton, periphyton, macrophytes, macroinvertebrates) as well as essential ecosystem functionalities, with the aim of understanding the impacts of this species on aquatic ecosystems as a whole
Expertise
