Research interests and expertise
My main interest lies in the conservation of dragonflies, in particular through adaptive management, even the restoration of their habitats. This work requires fundamental knowledge about their specific biology and their ecological requirements.
My expertise concerns using Odonata as an ecological assessment tool for evaluating the conservation status of wetlands.
