Chargée de recherche à l'Unité de Recherche Écologie des Forêts Méditerranéennes rattachée au Département  Écologie et biodiversité (ECODIV).

I am a Re­search scientist wor­king at the 'Ecology of Mediterranean Forests' Research Unit (URFM), INRAE Avignon, France.

Research goals

I am an ecologist specializing in the ecology and evolution of plant–insect interactions. My current research aims to elucidate how trees respond to insect herbivory across a range of biotic contexts—such as tree neighbor diversity, plant pathogens, and insect predators—and abiotic conditions, particularly climatic variability, at both individual and community levels. To achieve this, I employ a comprehensive approach that integrates field observations and controlled experiments, utilizing a diverse toolkit from entomology, plant pathology, ecophysiology, and chemical ecology.

Keywords

Biotic interactions, insect, biological invasions, climate change, drought, biodiversity, Mediterranean forests, chemical ecology, metabolomics, meta-analysis.
