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.
I am interested in the continental molluscs of the Mediterranean basin from the Neogene to the present day:
- On the factors involved in the organisation of malacological communities at different spatial and temporal scales: palaeoclimates and speciation; climatic and anthropogenic determinants of species distribution at regional level; the effect of landscape structure and change on the dynamics of malacological communities; dispersal processes; interspecific competition and spatial segregation.
- On the reconstruction of Pleistocene and Holocene Mediterranean palaeoenvironments based on malacological assemblages collected from archaeological sites or sedimentary sequences outside archaeological sites.
KEYWORDS: Palaeoclimates, anthropisation, biogeography, palaeoecology, Quaternary ecology, environmental archaeology, landscape ecology, Quaternary refuges.
