I am an evolutionary biologist who likes to confront evolutionary theory to ecological reality. I have a keen interest for the ecological sensitivity of reproductive strategies and life-histories, with a recent focus on aquatic environments. I come from France, but lived all of my academic life in Scandinavia. I started as a PhD student in the University of Uppsala, Sweden, then moved to a post-doc in NTNU Trondheim before joining the Faculty of Bioscience and Aquaculture in Bodø in March 2025.
As part of the CHIPOLATA project, I am working on the trophic structure of pelagic fish species of Lake Tanganyika, and how this structure might have changed over the last few decades under climate change and harvesting pressure.
