Behavioral and Evolutionary Ecotoxicology

I am a behavioral ecologist interested in how animals cope with environmental changes resulting from human activities. I am currently a researcher at the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment (INRAE) within the EcoSys research unit and the Sol&Tox team. I focus on how the soil fauna responds to contaminant exposure using a combination of modeling and laboratory experiments. My goal is to develop eco-evolutionary models allowing to understand how soil organisms cope with contaminant exposure and at what costs for soil functions.
