Associate Professor in spatial ecology at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle                                                                                                                                                        

My research focuses on movement ecology: I study the factors influencing animal movements (especially dispersal) and gene flow, with a particular emphasis on landscape composition and structure. I also study how human-triggered landscape modifications like fragmentation affect animal movements; and the consequences on population functioning and structure. My research is hence tightly linked to the management/conservation of populations, and to landscape management (e.g. connectivity restoration, french Trame Verte et Bleue policy).

Thématique de recherche

Etude de la communication chimique dans les interactions intra- et inter- spécifiques impliquant des arthropodes.

Mes domaines d'expertise sont : l'Ecologie Chimique, l'Electrophysiologie et l'Ecologie Comportementale.   

 

Mots clés : 

Ecologie Chimique ; Electrophysiologie ; Ecologie Comportementale ; Arthropodes ; Communication Chimique ; Olfaction.

 

Activités de recherche

Je mets en œuvre et adapte des techniques biologiques et des protocoles expérimentaux en Ecologie Chimique dans le but d'analyser l'écologie des interactions impliquant des arthropodes, dans le cadre de différents projets de recherches mené au sein de l’équipe. Elle s'étend de mesure in natura, au choix des protocoles expérimentaux, à l'analyse d'échantillons par des techniques biologiques au laboratoire et à l'élevage des arthropodes, incluant tests comportementaux, études morphologiques et analyses des molécules impliquées. Mon domaine d’expertise principal est l’électrophysiologie. Je visualise la détection de composés organiques volatils (COVs) par les arthropodes en utilisant le dispositif expérimental de chromatographie en phase gazeuse couplé à l’électro-antennographie. Cet outil permet de détecter une réponse électrique des organes sensoriels olfactifs, lors de l’exposition à des COVs. J’identifie ces composés par la technique de chromatographie en phase gazeuse couplée à la spectrométrie de masse. Ces analyses nous permettent de déterminer parmi les COVs émis, ceux qui sont perçus par les arthropodes étudiés. Complétés par des analyses comportementales, pour déterminer le type d’affinité vis-à-vis de ces composés. Je réalise également, des mesures de facteurs abiotiques et des colectes de COVs, en laboratoire et sur le terrain.

My research is centered in the theoretical framework of evolutionary ecology, population biology and behavioural ecology. My projects aim at understanding life history variation in order to determine the adaptive and evolutionary processes that explain and maintain animal diversity. I´m particularly interested by three kinds of life history traits linked to behavior: cooperation, animal communication and maternal invesment. I'm mainly using birds as biological models. I'm mainly using empirical methods, including large-scale experiments and analyses of long-term data sets on different populations of passerine birds in the field.

I'm currently working on four main projects. 1) Evolution of colour ormentation in birds(with a special focus on female coloration and blue tits) 2) the cause and life history traits consequences of cooperation in sociable weavers ; 3) Sexual and social evolution on islands, and 4) the evolution of weaver nests.

I'm also part of  the Arts-Sciences project Obô and the association https://plumesetracines.net/

* Evolution of female colour ornementation

In this project we use a combination of empirical and comparative approaches to address three fundamental questions on sexual and social selection in both monomorphic species and dimorphic species in which females present conspicuous traits. Our questions are the following (i) Are female conspicuous traits under sexual /social selection ? (ii) Do female conspicuous traits reflect female quality and which mechanisms maintain signal honesty? (iii) What are the population consequences of female signalling and mutual sexual selection.

 * Evolution of plumage ornement in space and time

Selection often varies in space and time and long-term research that spans broad spatial scales is needed to understand the factors driving phenotypic variation and to assess the links between traits and fitness.  To assess the importance of spatiotemporal variation  and its consequences on selection estimates, we collected data on two study systems: (i) the blue tit (yellow and UV-blue colorationsmeasured by spectrophotometry since 2005, 600 birds measured each year); (ii) the  size of the sociable weaver melanin patch  since 2010 (the bib patch is photographied each year on 400 individuals)

           Website: https://sociableweaverproject.com/

The project aims at understanding the fitness bases of cooperation and the consequences of cooperation for population dynamics through its effects on reproductive output, survival and dispersal. Our study model is an endemic passerine bird from southern African passerine. This bird is a cooperative breeder. In cooperatively breeding species, mature individuals called ‘helpers’ assist the breeding pairs by bringing additional food to the nest. We work on the evolution of different cooperative behaviours – cooperative breeding, nest building and predator mobbing and on the relationship between cooperation, fitness, dispersal and long-term population dynamics.

Currently our project has two main aims: (i) determining whether sexual or social selection play a role in the evolution of cooperation and thus the role of partner choice ; (ii) determining  how presence / absence of co-operators affects maternal effects and parental investments

  3- Evolution on islands

TEAM:  Rita Covas (CIBIO, Portugal), FitzPatrick Institute, Univ Cape Town), Martim Melo(CIBIO),  Claire Loiseau ( Univ Montpellier), Ana Leitao (Post doc ); Raquel Ponti (Post doc)

             Website: https://islandbirdproject.com/

Islands are unique ecosystems sharing a distinctive set of characteristics that make them particularly interesting to study adaptation by organisms. The isolation and reduced area of islands result in simplified ecological ecosystems and an impoverished fauna that are expected to lead to convergent patterns of adaptation (the ‘insularity syndrome’). Our aim is to establish, using comparative work , whether island birds worldwide display such convergent shift for ornamentation, songs, behaviour and morphology. Then we aim at determining which factors lead to those changes and are particularly interested by the role of parasitism and interspecific competition. We worked on data collected in natural history museum and in the field (Sao Tome, Madeira, Gabon, Cameroun).

 THEMES DE RECHERCHE

Mes thèmes de recherche concernent la phylogénie, la phylogéographie et l'évolution moléculaire à partir de l'analyse des séquences de gènes mitochondriaux et nucléaires. L’objectif est de répondre, à l’aide de l’outil moléculaire, à des questions de biodiversité et systématique évolutive à l’échelle des vertébrés (mammifères, amphibiens et reptiles). Je m’intéresse aussi à l’échelle temporelle (datations moléculaires) des différents niveaux de diversifications ce qui permet de confronter les inférences moléculaires avec les données morphologiques, paléontologiques et biogéographiques.

A l’interface entre écologie fonctionnelle et écologie des communautés, je cherche à comprendre les causes de variation de la biodiversité, aussi bien à l’échelle locale que continentale, et l’effet de changements de la biodiversité sur la dynamique et le fonctionnement des écosystèmes.

Principaux thèmes de recherches

Mes recherches portent sur l'analyse des conséquences écologiques sur la variabilité du fonctionnement des espèces à travers l'utilisation des traits fonctionnels des plantes.

Plus précisément, les principaux objectifs de mes recherches sont les suivants :

- Caractériser les réponses des espèces (croissance, performance, reproduction) et leurs stratégies écologiques à travers différents gradients environnementaux (abandon culturel, intensification culturelle, pâturage, fertilisation, concentration en métaux lourds dans le sol)

- Décrire les liens entre les traits fonctionnels des espèces et le fonctionnement des écosystèmes (décomposition de la litière, digestibilité de la biomasse) dans un contexte de changement d'utilisation des terres. Je m'intéresse particulièrement à la détermination des liens entre les traits des espèces et leur appétence et leur digestibilité.

-Identifier les liens entre les parties aériennes et souterraines en réponse à l'herbivorie : tester l'hypothèse de la vie après la mort dans différents contextes et avec différents herbivores (mammifères, mollusques, insectes).

-Caractériser les réponses des communautés de mauvaises herbes à différents systèmes agricoles innovants, en particulier dans les vignobles, et leurs effets sur les services écosystémiques (pollinisation, régulations biologiques).

 

 

Research interests

My research is focused on the analysis of the ecological consequences on the variability of species functioning via the use of plant functional traits.

More precisely the main objectives of my research are:
-Characterize species responses (growth, performance, reproduction) and species ecological strategies across environmental gradients (cultural abandon cultural intensification, grazing, fertilization, concentration on heavy metals on soil)
-Description of the links between species functional traits and ecosystem functioning (litter decomposition, biomass digestibility) in a context of land use change. Especially, I am interested to determine the links between species traits and their palatability and digestibility.
-Identify the above-belowground linkages in response to herbivory: test the after-life hypothesis in different contexts and with different herbivores (mammals, mollusks, insects).
-Characterize weed communities responses to different innovate agricultural systems and especially in vineyards and the effects on the ecosystem services (pollination, biologial regulations).

Research interests

Soil scientist fascinated by plant ecophysiology, my research focusses on soil-plant interactions in both natural and controlled conditions. I am particularly interested in silicon (Si), a major component of the Earth’s crust and soils, that is increasingly considered as a key element in plant ecology and agriculture through the fantastic process of biosilicification (mineral deposits in plant organs as seen on the left).

 

 

Research thematic

I combine expertise in soil science and plant ecophysiology to work on three different research axes:

• The influence of soil properties, and in particular their evolution over time through the use of long-term chronosequences, on silicon cycling (e.g., soil Si pools and fluxes, Si availability for plants, Si uptake by plants and silicification, biological versus lithological control on Si cycling)
• The control of overlooked biotic factors on soil-plant Si mobility (e.g., soil microorganisms, large herbivores, root exudates), and how they could be leveraged to increase crop Si status through specific agricultural practices.
• Developing functional trait-based approaches to better understand the role and functions of Si and silicification in plant ecophysiology, and how it aligns with major ecological theories (plant growth/defense tradeoff, plant economics spectrum, resource availability hypothesis, etc.).

Chargé de recherche à l’INSERM Ma principale activité de recherche porte sur l’évolution et la diversité taxinomique des macromycètes, que j’aborde via l’analyse phylogénétique d’échantillons issus d’un large réseau de mycologues européens partenaires. Je constitue aussi une extractothèque fongique destinée à mettre en évidence et valoriser le potentiel bioactif de ces organismes dans le domaine de la santé humaine. My research is mainly focused on the evolution and the taxonomic diversity of higher fungi. I am adressing this issue through the phylogenetic analysis of samples originating from a broad network of European partner mycologists. I am also assembling a fungal extract library, aiming at revealing and promoting the bioactivities of these organisms in the field of human health.   Courriel : Cette adresse e-mail est protégée contre les robots spammeurs.

Mes travaux portent sur la compréhension de la régulation du fonctionnement des écosystèmes terrestres en terme de flux de matière (eau, carbone, nutriments…). Initialement centrées sur les écosystèmes méditerranéens, mes activités ont été élargies à d’autres écosystèmes subissant de très fortes contraintes (les hauts plateaux andins). 

My research focuses on the understanding of terrestrial ecosystems functioning in terms of fluxes (water, carbon, nutrients...). Initially centered on Mediterranean ecosystems, my research activities have been extended to the Andean highlands).

Mon objectif est de comprendre le rôle et l’importance des odeurs et des médiateurs chimiques dans le fonctionnement et l’évolution des relations plantes-insectes. Je m’intéresse particulièrement aux aspects suivants : quelles sont les caractéristiques des odeurs et des signaux chimiques disponibles pour les insectes ? Quelle est l’activité biologique de ces molécules (réponse comportementale des insectes) ? Dans quelle mesure et à quel(s) niveau(x) ces interactions chimiques jouent un rôle dans le fonctionnement et l’évolution des systèmes plantes-insectes ?

Project

Urbanisation is one of the most rapid and profound environmental transformations, reshaping habitats and generating novel selective pressures on wildlife. Our research investigates how birds adjust physiologically and evolutionarily to urban environments, focusing on great tits (Parus major) and blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) from Montpellier and nearby forests.

Using a combination of long-term field monitoring (CEFE TIT PROJECT), capture-based physiological assessments, and common garden experiments on hand-reared birds, I aim to disentangle the effects of phenotypic plasticity and genetic differentiation in responses to urbanisation.

The first part of this work examines reproductive physiology, focusing on how urban conditions influence hormone dynamics and reproductive traits such as laying date, clutch size, egg size, and fertilisation success. The second part investigates stress physiology through the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, assessing both baseline and stress-induced glucocorticoid levels. Finally, the third part explores metabolic adaptations to the urban heat island effect using respirometry, measuring thermal physiology and heat tolerance in both wild and experimental settings.

Overall, this thesis integrates field and experimental approaches to provide a comprehensive assessment of how tits adjust to urban environments through endocrine, reproductive, stressrelated, and metabolic pathways. This work will offer novel insights into the physiological bases of urban adaptation and, more broadly, into the capacity of wild vertebrates to cope with rapid anthropogenic environmental change.

Intéressée par les dynamiques de populations d’arthropodes en agroécosystèmes, j’étudie (1) les effets de l’interférence entre activités agricoles et deux grandes forces évolutives sur les arthropodes - la migration et la sélection naturelle –, (2) les interactions biotiques impliquant des arthropodes bioagresseurs et auxiliaires potentiels. Je dirige ces travaux suivant une approche transdisciplinaire à l'interface entre recherche fondamentale et recherche opérationnelle.

 I am interested in the dynamics of arthropod populations in agroecosystems and am studying (1) the effects of interference between farming activities and two major evolutionary forces on arthropods - migration and natural selection - and (2) biotic interactions involving arthropod pests and potential beneficials. I lead this work following a transdisciplinary approach at the interface between fundamental and operational research.
