The Mediterranean Institute of Biodiversity and Marine and Continental Ecology
IMBE's research is structured around 5 transversal thematic axis and 8 research teams
IMBE organizes its operational facilities around 5 technical departments
Training is, of course, the courses offered at the University (L, M, D) but also training through research (internships).
The dissemination of our scientific results is at the heart of our mission: it enables us to share and make research advances accessible to a wider audience. In addition to publications in specialist journals, the IMBE deploys a wide range of resources to popularise knowledge and make it understandable and attractive to a wide range of audiences. Through concrete actions and innovative tools, we are committed to bringing science closer to everyone, in order to establish an ongoing dialogue between science, research and the general public, especially young people.
As a naturalist, I have worked on many types of taxa, particularly mammals, birds and arthropods, and this naturalist orientation led me to want to work in ecological research. I decided to do a master's degree in ecology and quickly became interested in the study of interactions between organisms and the functioning of ecosystems. I'm currently doing a thesis on the subject of photovoltaic parks, to better demonstrate their impact on biodiversity and improve management recommendations. I'm working on the effect of different disturbances (shading of solar panels, herbivory, etc.) on soil organisms, plants and pollinators.
My thesis is part of a project funded by ADEME, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency, entitled REMEDE (REseaux d'interactions et Multifonctionnalités Ecologiques: Développement et validation de deux approches complémentaires d'intégration environnementale pour une énergie photovoltaïque vertueuse). It focuses on the study of trophic interactions and ecological functions in photovoltaic power plants in order to demonstrate their impact on biodiversity.
