Research

My research focuses on the responses of plant-pollinator systems to global change. More specifically, I am interested in the effects of climate change, urbanisation and biological invasions on plant-pollinator interaction networks. I have tackled these issues in various contexts: through field studies in situ and under experimental conditions, using modelling and literature review approaches; in different biogeographical contexts and at different scales, from local to global.

Teaching

As part of the Life and Earth Sciences degree and the Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution Masters, I teach courses in general ecology, behavioural ecology, biotic interactions, biodiversity management, conservation and scientific methodology.
