I investigate the functional fingerprint of human activities on the living world. By combining trait-based approaches and macroecology, I study how human reshapes biodiversity patterns in the Anthropocene.
As a geographer specializing in community ecology, I bridge the gap between spatial dynamics and functional biodiversity. My research employs a trait-based approach to analyse macroecological patterns and understand the specific footprint of human activities on vertebrates.
I frame my work within the context of the Anthropocene, addressing conservation challenges such as human–wildlife coexistence or functional erosion. I am particularly interested in how selective exploitation targets particular trait combinations, alters ecosystem functioning and biodiversity at multiple scales.
Beyond the field and the data, I am deeply committed to an inclusive, collaborative and international scientific practice. When I am not on the field, teaching or coding in R, you will find me hiking with my dog and camping in the mountains.
