Welcome!

As an integrative zoologist, I combine zoology, ecotoxicology and microbiology to understand how human activity affects freshwater ecosystems and the potential consequences for human health (One Health perspective).

To this end, I assess animal responses at different levels of biological organization, from individuals' body condition to food-web structure, and work primarily with fish, mosquitoes, and other invertebrates.

Alongside international collaborators, my research addresses three main topics:

• Water pollution caused by conventional and emerging pollutants, such as nutrients, metals, and antibiotics.

• Alterations in aquatic and riparian vegetation due to invasions and restoration actions.

• The aquarium trade as a potential pathway for invasive species but also as a source of novel model organisms.
