Research interests
Topic 1 : Effect of global change (land use, climatic change) on functional diversity of ground beetles, especially at the interface between agrosystems and forests, according to different scales (biogeographic, landscape, local). An evolution of this topic to ecosystem services is underway
Topic 2 : Biological invasions, mainly on Drosophila suzukii
Topic 3 : Multitrophic interactions (plants-insects-virus-beneficial insects), in agrosystems

Key words
