I am a freshwater ecologist with a research background on functional and trait-based ecology. My research focuses on the consequences of intraspecific variability for the higher levels of biological organization. I am particularly interested in how human activities modulate trait variability within species, and from there, key ecosystem functions. I use a combination of fieldwork and experimental approaches.

At UC Berkeley, I worked  within the international lab “MacLife” with Albert Ruhi, Stephanie Carlson, and Mathieu Buoro (INRAE, France) to examine the effects of climate change-induced drought on biotic interactions and a key cross-ecosystem linkage (emerging aquatic insects), using a large-scale experiment in the Eastern Sierra Nevada (SNARL).

Current position: Researcher at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA).
