Bio
I am a lecturer in the Department of Agroecology and associated researcher with the SAVE unit “Santé et Agroécologie du Vignoble : Health and Agroecology of vineyards” (INRAE and Bordeaux Sciences Agro).
During my PhD (UMR BIOGECO, Bordeaux, 2011) I studied how insectivorous birds and neighbouring plants influence herbivorous insects feeding on oak seedlings. My following post-doctoral positions (INRA Bordeaux, INRA Toulouse) focused on insects associated with plantation forests (longhorned beetle vector of pine nematode) and agricultural landscapes (carabids as pest control providers).
Since my arrival at Bordeaux Sciences Agro in 2014, I am involved in different European and national projects concerning services providers, from vertebrates to mesofauna, and the positive effects of this biodiversity for vine fields such as organic matter decomposition or pest control. My teaching activities focus on relationships between agricultural practices, biodiversity and ecosystem services they can provide for agriculture.
