Research Interests

My research focuses on the spatial patterns of soil macro-invertebrates biodiversity, with the aim to understand 1) their ecological and evolutionary drivers 2) their consequences on ecosystem functioning. In this regard, dispersal and niche construction are central topics of my work. I am particularly interested in the effect of soil macroinvertebrates on soil properties, and the feedback loops that it may generate. I am also interested in the role of terrestrial species in nutrient cycling.

NetSto - Feces Stoichiometry

What is the role of animal feces on nutrient cycling? Are there feedbackloops between animals and plant via nutrient recycling?

Earthworm Life history traits

This project aims at building several databases on life history traits of earthworms, in the aim to model population dynamics. See the EGrowth database for growth curves.

#GlobalSoilMacrofauna

This project aims at mapping soil macrofauna biodiversity and assessing the effect of global change at global scale.

Niche construction

How thin is the line between ecosystem engineers and niche constructors? Let's find out with worms!
