Thèmes de recherche
Recherches en zoologie du sol, centrées sur les macro-invertébrés saprophages qui se nourrissent de résidus végétaux, tels que les macroarthropodes (Diplopodes, Isopodes) et les vers de terre (Oligochètes). Mes travaux sur la biologie et l’écologie de ces animaux portent principalement sur quatre grands thèmes :
1. La composition et la structure des peuplements de macro-invertébrés saprophages
Mots-clés : abondance, biomasse, diversité, structure fonctionnelle
2. Le rôle des macroarthropodes saprophages dans la décomposition des litières
Mots-clés : choix alimentaire, consommation, assimilation, bilan annuel
3. Les réponses des macroarthropodes saprophages aux changements globaux
Mots-clés : changement climatique, qualité des litières, biodiversité
4. Le cycle de vie des populations de Diplopodes en conditions naturelles
Mots-clés : vitesse de développement, reproduction, adaptations saisonnières
