4. Scientific interest
● My current research focuses on trophic interactions among aquatic communities in
temperate, tropical, boreal and austral ecosystems. I am interested in understanding how
animal populations can influence energy transfers (within and across ecosystems), food web
structure and functioning, and possible interferences from human activities (eutrophication,
invasive species, habitat alterations, climate). I analyze stable isotope ratios (mostly C, N, S
and H) in contemporary and past ecosystems thanks to collections of archived tissues, and I
use DNA-barcoding approaches. Populations and communities of high conservation value are
particularly investigated, notably diadromous fish species. I also develop ex situ experiments
to test the adaptation of these species to various environmental stresses (notably
temperature and oxygen).
● Keywords: Trophic ecology, functional ecology, stable isotopes, freshwaters, behavioral
ecology of fish
