My research
A research devoted to a better understanding of the dynamics of forest pathosystems, under natural evolution and in response to management and anthropogenic disturbance.
Scientific and technical skills in mycology, epidemiology, population genetics and evolutionary ecology.
Topics:
- risk factors of emerging forest diseases, biological invasions
- life history traits of forest pathogenic fungi and oomycetes, variability and evolution
- genetic variability and genetic determinisms of resistance to ink and chestnut blight diseases
- biological control methods against forest diseases
key-words
forest pathology, epidemiology, disease ecology, disease emergence, phytopathogenic fungi, biological invasions, adaptation, Phytophthora, Cryphonectria, ambrosia beetle fungi, Vigil'encre
