Plant ecologist and biogeographer, interested in modelling at different temporal, spatial, and organization levels. I am also interested in applications for conservation and restoration.
I am so proud to receive the #Foulon price from the French Academy of Sciences 🤩 This is a huge recognition & it means a lot to me 🙏 I dedicate this price to all my close colleagues & collabortors in 🇨🇵, 🇪🇺 & 🌐🌏🌎🌍 without whom it would not have been possible

Two years ago we got together in a beautiful mountain to learn and develop #rstats packages for ecology
After {labeleR} (ecologyr.github.io/labeleR/) and {BlueCarbon} (ecologyr.github.io/BlueCarbon/), {mappestRisk} is now officially out! See thread by lead author @dario-ssm.bsky.social 👇

Components of the game’s social-ecological model. The landscape consists of hexagonal tiles, each of which have an associated biodiversity and productivity value. The combined biodiversity and productivity values of the entire landscape determine the player’s available budget as well as their approval ratings in the population. Stochastic events may influence certain parts of the game world, while laws and investments can be used by the player to influence game mechanics.

Spain's fire-ridden summer 2025 sparked big debates about how forests are managed. Now new research in @jappliedecology.bsky.social shows that pine plantations in Spain can increase fire severity, that post-fire recovery is rare, & but that tree density management can help tinyurl.com/mf33xrt8

Joint species-trait distribution modeling: The role of intraspecific trait variation in community assembly The links between intraspecific trait variation and community assembly remain little studied, partially due to the lack of statistical methods to jointly model intraspecific trait variation and species abundances at the community level. Here, we extend the joint species distribution modeling (JSDM) framework into the joint species-trait distribution modeling (JSTDM) framework to explicitly link species abundances to phenotypic variation in traits for multiple species simultaneously. Using a case study of 65 tundra plant species abundances and 3 key functional traits measured across 325 sites, we show how the JSTDM approach (1) estimates the statistical associations among species abundances, species-level traits, and site-level traits, relative to environmental variation; (2) improves predictions on trait variation by using information on species abundances; and (3) generates hypotheses about trait-driven community assembly mechanisms. The JSTDM methodology presented in this study allows assessing the interplay between species abundances and traits at the community level, providing the much needed modeling tools to quantify the role of phenotypic trait variation in eco-evolutionary community assembly.

Fresh off the press! Our perspective in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com discusses the wealth of information on biodiversity contained in historical sources, and its integration for long-term ecological knowledge and biodiversity conservation. A thread on the paper and what led to it:

Punctuated equilibrium, a concept introduced by paleontologists in 1972, reimagines evolution’s tempo as a stochastic burst rather than a steady beat. A new model finds support for their theory in both molecular and fossil data. @jakebuehler.bsky.social reports www.quantamagazine.org/the-sudden-s...
