My research is primarily focused on understanding how deficiencies or abundance in essential micronutrients with strong potential on health and reproduction influence the physiology, behavior, evolutionary trade-offs and life-history strategies of terrestrial organisms. Specifically, I am interested in understanding how dietary vitamins and amino acids – such as vitamin B3 and its precursor tryptophan – can modulate key functions and improve resilience of terrestrial wildlife exposed to multiple stressors in a global change context.
My research is interdisciplinary and combines approaches in ecology, behavior, biochemistry and social sciences, that I integrate to the One Health framework, with the main objective to support the agroecological transition.
Research
In our group, we are currently working on finding ways to improve health and conservation statuts of wild bumble bees to support pollination services essential to agriculture and to farmers. We do so using a multidimensional approach considering the interests and limits of agricultural producers, as well as the disease status, nutritional and behavioral health of wild bumble bees. This research is conducted in Eastern Canada and in France.
