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.
Former junior member of the ​Institut Universitaire de France (2017-2022).
