HDR (Habilitée à diriger des recherches)
I work at the interface between population dynamics and conservation biology. My research encompasses the effects of anthropic factors on population dynamics and their implications for the conservation of biodiversity. I have mainly worked in the Mediterranean region, focusing on environmental drivers such as climatic change, environmental variability and species introductions to explain ecological and evolutionary dynamics of plant populations. Recently, I have developed a particular interest in historical ecology by studying ancient human impacts on whale populations.
