Molecular Ecophysiology of Stressed plant “EcophyS” Team

Team news Team publications Team members Google traduction de la version française The Molecular Ecophysiology of the plant under stress (EcoPhyS) team is studying the responses of plants to environmental constraints by developing an integrative approach to the study of the response to environmental constraints, of plants whole (gas exchange, biomass production, yield) down to […]

Neuroethology of olfaction “NeO” Team

Team news Team publications Team members Our experimental and modelling studies aim at understanding the mechanisms involved in the recognition of the olfactory signal and its translation in a behavioural response adapted to the environment and the physiological state of insects.These studies concern the processes of sensory coding, from the chemo-electrical transduction in the olfactory receptor […]

Chemoreception and Adaptation “CreA” Team

Team news Team publications Team members The team investigates the mechanisms of olfactory and gustatory reception in the peripheral sensory systems and their plasticity in a changing biotic and abiotic environment.We take into account the evolutionary, adaptive and ecophysiological / ecotoxicological contexts. Our questions are : What are the chemical landscapes the insects leave in ? […]

Social Species in their Environments : Adaptation and Evolution “ESEAE” Team

Team news Team publications Team members The aim of the ESEAE team is to understand how social life influences the mechanisms of evolution and adaptation of social species, their biodiversity, and their interactions with other species. Environmental changes are a central theme. Our biological models are mainly termites and ants. We use an integrative approach […]

Evolutionary Ecophysiology “EPE” Team

Team news Team publications Team members Studies in evolutionary ecology aims to understand how biological traits are controlled by natural and sexual selection. These studies examine how environmental selection pressures influence one hand the production and survival of young and secondly the dynamics of populations and ecosystems. These studies often ignore the physiological mechanisms involved in […]

Integrative Ecology : from Mechanisms to Ecosystem services “EMS” Team

Team news Team publications Team members Pas de traduction pour cette page. Nous cherchons à comprendre et analyser expérimentalement ou par des observations, puis à représenter par des modèles couplés, les grands cycles de la matière (nutriments minéraux, carbone) en prenant en compte à la fois des processus classiquement étudiés en écologie des écosystèmes (ex : […]

Ecology and Evolution of Interaction Networks “EERI” Team

Team news Team publications Team members In the context of current large pressures exerted by human populations on natural communities, ecological sciences often cannot provide adequate predictions or management decisions. One reason is the intrinsic complexity of ecosystems. The EERI team tries to handle a part of this complexity by focusing on the structure, functioning […]

Microbial Communities in Continental ecosystems “CoMIC” Team

Team news Team publications Team members The CoMiC team studies microbial communities in continental terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in an interdisciplinary framework that combines microbiology, comparative genomics, metagenomics, chemistry, ecology, health, environmental sciences and social sciences. More specifically, our research focuses on (i) the vulnerability of microbial communities to disturbances and pollutants induced by human […]

Biogeography and Diversity of Interactions in Soil “BioDIS” Team

Team news Team publications Team members The objectives of BIOgeography and Diversity of Interactions in Soil (BioDis) team is to analyse these interactions in their environmental context in order to better understand the functioning and evolution of soils. The strategy that we have adopted is to study biotic interactions, whilst accounting for the abiotic constraints that […]
