THÈMES DE RECHERCHE

L'objectif de mon programme de recherche en écologie pure est de lier les attributs morphologiques et physiologiques des individus à la structure et à la dynamique des communautés. À cette fin, l'accent est mis sur les comparaisons interspécifiques. Nos travaux portent sur les déterminants du taux de croissance, sur la production des graines et sur les interactions compétitives des espèces sauvages. Ceci comprend des études sur les échanges gazeux, la nutrition minérale, les composés secondaires et la morphologie. L'objectif est de relier ces attributs par la modélisation statistique.

Je suis aussi membre du Centre de la science de la biodiversité du Québec (CSBQ)
