Main research question
In order to retrace such a story, I study different dimensions of the biodiversity of fauna and flora associated with Neogene hominoids.
I am expanding our knowledge of fossil record biases through the study of temporal variations in biodiversity.
I examine the spatial component of biodiversity by revitalizing the famous controversy that fuels assembly theories for decades: niche versus dispersion.
For this purpose I develop advanced computer tools: R function to correct biases, algorithm (PER-SIMPER) to determine the processes at the origin of assemblies.
Topics of study
I am focusing on palaeontological data from the African and Eurasian Neogenes on a large spatial and temporal scale to identify the environmental factors of hominoid dispersion between these continents.
Project management
My contribution in PALEVOPRIM projects corresponds to the scope of the ANR HADOC.
