I was recruted at the INRA institute as scientist in 1997 in the virology team at the Bordeaux INRA Centre (UMR 1332 BFP). After more than 15 years in plant virology, I moved to terrestrial ecology and I joined BIOGECO lab in 2016. My research projects aim to better understand relationships between biodiversity and human and environmental factors in different socio-ecosystems as forests, urban area or sand dunes. I lead these projects integrating interdisciplinary approaches, particularly with Humanities and Social Sciences research teams and stakeholders.
Research topics
Since 2016
Community ecology : Study of the relationships between biodiversity and environmental factors to produce decision-making tools for ecosystem conservation in Nouvelle-Aquitaine area. Interactions with humanity and social sciences and stakeolders.
Studied area : Aquitaine sand dunes, Ciron valley, Bordeaux metropolis, Bordeaux University, natural local parks (PNR).
Scientific partnerships: Institut des Mathématiques de Bordeaux, Unité ETBX (SHS, INRAE), Unité EABX (Ecologie aquatique, INRAE), membre du Groupement de recherche Pollinéco (pollinisation, réseaux d’interaction et fonctionnalité des écosystèmes), etc.
