An integrated test of Natural-Enemy mediated tree BEta-DIVersity across South American rain forests – NEBEDIV
Tropical plant diversity is extraordinarily high both at local and regional scales, including a significant component of beta-diversity, or the turnover in species composition across habitats and regions. Yet we still know little about the relative roles of biogeography, abiotic factors, and biotic factors in shaping tropical community composition. The NEBEDIV project represents a comprehensive evaluation of tropical forest beta-diversity across broad geographic and environmental gradients.
Detection of invasive plant species and assessment of their impact on ecosystem properties through remote sensing – DIARS
assessments and management evaluations for invasive plant species are therefore often limited to the analysis [...] to characterize the ecosystem impact of invasive plant species through the combined use of field data and [...] prediction of spread and risk assessment of invasive plant species as preconditions for management measures
The cellular trafficking of Fe-S clusters in plants – Fe-S traffic
This work focuses on the proteins of the ISCA and NFU families of Arabidopsis thaliana involved in the late stages of Fe-S cluster transfer towards chloroplast and mitochondrial proteins.
Does a genome made of multiple divergent copies allow genomic plasticity in absence of sexual reproduction in a plant-parasitic animal ? – ASEXEVOL
How an asexually-reproducing animal can be one the most devastating plant pest ? Animals with asexual reproduction lack genetic plasticity mechanisms such as alleles shuffling and recombination, both associated to sexual reproduction. In the root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp), we have identified genomes made of multiple divergent copies. We would like to assess whether such a peculiar genome could impact plasticity despite absence of sexual reproduction.

Predicting the ability of populations to adapt in function of their evolutionary history and their environmental background – CAPA
Environmental changes threaten the maintenance of species. The CAPA project aims to compare the approaches that are generally used to evaluate the adaptive potential of natural populations. We will analyse what approaches are fitter to specific aims and will apply them to the study case of snapdragon plants in the Pyrenees.
