PhD in Ecology. formerly in Eco&Sols lab (Montpellier, France). Postdoc in University of Helsinki soon ! Mostly interested in earthworms, conservation, biogeography and taxonomy.
New paper's out ! We describe a new species from Jura, France: Avelona yvesi. Together with Avelona zicsii comb. nov., they belong to the same genus as the bioluminescent Avelona ligra... but are not bioluminescent. Northeast of France seems like an interesting center of endemism for earthworms !

New paper out ! We call here for better integration of earthworms—a taxon extensively studied for its functions—into conservation biology, by highlighting gaps in earthworm ecology and proposing approaches to achieve this goal. in Open access !
