RESEARCH INTERESTS:
Area(s) of Research: Biostratigraphy – Paleogeography – Systematic Palaeontology – Ontogeny – Paleobiology
Group(s) of interest: Corynexochida - Harpetida - Lichida - Phacopida - Proetida
Period(s): (Silurian) - Devonian - (Carboniferous)
Field Area(s): North-Gondwana related: southern and central Europe (France, Germany, Austria...), North Africa (Morocco), North-West Australia
Current Projects: 1) Dynamic palaeobiogeography of Silurian through Early Carboniferous trilobites of North Gondwana related terranes - 2) Systematics and biostratigraphy of Mid- and Late Devonian trilobites of the off-shore realm - 3) Extinction and recovery patterns at the Taghanic (mid-Givetian), Kellwasser (Frasnian/Famennian) and Hangenberg (Devonian/Carboniferous) global biocrises - 4) Morphological evolutions related to changes in environmental constraints - 5) Heterochronic processes involved in the evolution of Late Devonian trilobites.
