Short Bio
I am Full Professor at the University of Montpellier (France). My research focuses on both fundamental and applied topics :
- exploring large-scale biodiversity patterns in marine and freshwater ecosystems with a special emphasis on the role of historical and evolutionary processes
- describing the patterns and exploring the mechanisms associated with changes in biodiversity from local to global scales, as a consequence of anthropogenic activities (e.g. species invasion, climate change, habitat loss).
Associate Editor for Global Ecology and Biogeography (from 2015).
Subject Editor for Ecography (from November 2023).
Former junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France (2017-2022).
