PhD in ecology and evolution | Post-doc @ Evolutionary Genetics Group - WSL | Population Genomics - Evolutionary Biology - Spatial Ecology
Joined March 2023
Using whole-genome data from 382 individuals across 10 species, we show that: • Generalists maintained stable populations during reef fragmentation • Specialists suffered severe bottlenecks and isolation The Coral Triangle emerges as a key refugium and connectivity hub.

Alors qu’ils vivent dans des eaux éloignées, des poissons-clowns ont développ�� des couleurs, formes et motifs similaires. La raison? Ils s’associent aux mêmes espèces d’anémones de mer. C’est ce que...

Thrilled to share that a key part of my PhD is now published in @PNASNews! We show that mutualism with sea anemones has been a key driver of clownfish diversification, shaping their trait evolution. Read more: https://t.co/kpyn5OYxxp

Thanks to all the editors of this special issue @MasahitoTsuboi @evoNicki @Phylogenetrips and @GaboriauT in @JEvBio for inviting me to design the cover. It has been a first time and fun to mix one of my hobbies with my passion for science. I hope is the first of many more!

Clownfish evolution is so extraordinary that it can only be described with the voice of David Attenborough. Watch until the end—you won’t regret it!
