My research focus on tropical marine ecology, mainly fishes. I have also worked on temperate ecosystems (Mediterranean and Atlantic), but most of my work concerns coral reef-lagoon ecosystems.

​

My research topics are about:

• The study of the structure and functioning of communities in a context of climate and anthropogenic changes,

• The circulation of organic matter within food webs and the way in which contaminants integrate - or not - into these food webs,

• The energetic and nutritional values of coral reef fish, and their societal implications (food security, local fisheries, etc.)

​

The main methods used bring together underwater visual observations and experimental fishing (field actions) as well as stable isotopes and compound specifics, otoliths, metallic and organic contaminants , and biochemical technics to quantify lipids, proteins, minerals etc. (laboratory actions).
