Main ongoing research

Biogeography and Resilience of Intertidal Southern Ocean Communities (Marie Skłodowska-Curie project “BioRISC”): Understanding the diversity, biogeography, and resilience of intertidal communities across the Antarctic and the sub-Antarctic. Using a community-based approach, the project will address fundamental ecological questions involving the assessment of biogeographic regions as well as the influence of environmental heterogeneity in the composition and structure of intertidal communities.

Integrative taxonomy of echinoderms: Deciphering the origin and evolution of echinoderms (mainly sea stars) at the inter-ordinal and intra-ordinal levels through classical taxonomic approach and genetics (single genes or full mitochondrial genomes).

Phylogeography and population genetics of benthic marine invertebrates: Evaluating the genetic diversity, demography and connectivity patterns at both the local and regional scales (using mitochondrial genes and multiple nuclear loci).
