Professor, University of Rennes

I am examining the sensitivity and vulnerability of insects subjected to multiple environmental variations of rapidly changing environments to make predictions of possible shifts in the geographic range of species, particularly for invasive ones. 

I am leading several research projects, including IPEV 136 ‘Subantarctic biodiversity, effects of climate change and biological invasions on terrestrial biota’ (since 2014), 'ASICS' (ASsessing and mitigating the effects of climate change and biological Invasions on the spatial redistribution of biodiversity in Cold environmentS, funded by Biodiversa, call 2019-2020 ‘Biodiversity and Climate Change) all and also co-leads the national network on biological invasions (GdR CNRS, ca. 280 scientists, renewed for 2018-2022).
