I am a community ecologist, focusing on the impacts of global changes, mainly urbanization, land use change, habitat fragmentation and climate change, on biodiversity. While I have first focused on their consequences on the evolution of life history traits in plant species, my current research focuses on their effects on plant and wild bee communities, and on plant-pollinator networks and their functioning. I often tackle these issues along gradients, e.g. north-south latitudinal gradients as a proxy of climate change vs life history traits, diversity gradients vs complexity of networks, or more recently urbanization gradients. Recently my researches have focused on the effects of urbanization on plant pollinator networks and communities, at the heart of the project.
I also tackle these questions along time using long term databases. While I have implemented several controlled-condition experiments to understand plant evolution and observe phenotypical plasticity, I am merely an experienced field ecologist.
I have developed interactions with several conservationist agencies in which I intervene as an expert ecologist or with which we have developed projects.
I have also developed interactions with several stakeholders that have already agreed to or may participate to the project, e.g. Ville de Lille, Ville de Douai, Métropole Européenne de Lille (MEL) etc.
