I work on fish and freshwater ecosystems: I aim at understanding patterns of biodiversity in rivers and its consequences on ecosystem functioning. I specifically focus on intraspecific biodiversity. My interests are diverse and include host-parasite interactions, functional ecology, evolutionary ecology, ecosystem functioning and dynamics, the rules of community assembly, the impacts of global changes, information use in ecology, phenotypic plasticity and population genetics. I use molecular, empirical and experimental approaches.
Some news from the fishes
January 2019: First results from a field experiment linking intraspecific diversity to ecosystem functioning.
As part of an ANR project, Camille has set an amazing field survey that will ultimately allow us to test if intraspecific diversity really matters for ecosystem functioning. |
February 2018: The new born prototype of the future aquatron.
We are building an amazing mesocosm platform of 144 connected tanks for freshwater ecology in Moulis. Some exciting experiments to come! |
August 2017: Camille and Eglantine are setting in situ cages to test for experimental infection in dace.
Several of these cages will be deployed in different micro-habitats and surveyed regularly. Some news in a few months! |
