Université de Bretagne Occidentale
Mon parcours scientifique témoigne d’une quête constante visant à comprendre les mécanismes qui déterminent la résilience et la vulnérabilité des espèces et des écosystèmes face aux changements climatiques et aux pressions anthropiques.
Mes travaux s’inscrivent dans un large éventail de problématiques écologiques et biologiques, avec une forte composante de modélisation numérique.
Ancrées dans les domaines de l’écologie fonctionnelle et de la biologie de la conservation, mes recherches explorent aussi bien les impacts des changements climatiques sur les espèces marines que les interactions écologiques complexes au sein des environnements intertidaux.
Thèmes de recherche :
- Adaptation des espèces aux changements climatiques
- Écologie spatiale et conservation de la mégafaune marine
- Écologie intertidale et variabilité microclimatique
Projets de recherche :
- Abondance, distribution, phénologie et nidification des tortues marines face aux pressions climatiques et anthropiques
- Écophysiologie des organismes ectothermes intertidaux et variabilité microclimatique des écosystèmes côtiers
