Pierre-Henri FABRE

Associate professor in Zoology and Evolutionary Biology

I am an evolutionary biologist passionated by history and diversity of life.

I did my PhD in Montpellier 2 University, France, where i have studied the diversification of Primates and Rodents under the supervision of Emmanuel Douzery (PHYLMOL team). I did a postdoc in Copenhagen at CMEC, on the island diversification and biogeography of the core Corvoid passerine birds with Knud Jønsson and Jon Fjeldså.

I have done a second postdoc at the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology (Losos lab) where I studied the island diversification and biogeography of the Indo-Pacific rodents with Jonathan Losos.

This research projects was funded by a Marie-Curie fellowship (PIOF-GA-2012-330582-CANARIP-RAT).

As an enthusiastic naturalist, I am passionated by field mammalogy, odonatology, ornithology and vertebrate paleontology.
