My research has always been based on an empirical approach to genetic diversity, studied using molecular biology and, more recently, genomics techniques. Drawing on my expertise in phylogeography, my research is demanding in terms of data production and analysis at the intra- and interspecific frontiers. This level of observation of biodiversity is crucial both for its study and for its conservation. I teach at Licence (AMNS, Portail Pasteur, L. Sciences et Humanités, L. Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre) and Master (Biodiversité Ecologie et Evolution) levels.
Research: Origin(s), Evolution and persistence of biodiversity, Conservation of Mediterranean flora, Ecological niches, Phylogeography, Speciation and genetic mixing.
Teaching: Biology, Population genetics, Phylogenetics, Ecology, Data analysis and statistics, Scientific method, Methodology of academic work.
• ROMULEA_MED improves our knowledge of Mediterranean romulas
• HYAM explores the boundaries and genetic exchanges between species of the genus Teucrium and the genus Eunicella, to better understand their evolution and ecology.
• SYNGAM to understand how gene flow between species may have favoured the diversification of the genus Armeria
• Festuca_353 analyses the genetic relationships between around a hundred taxa in the genus Festuca.
