Biogeographical characterization and climate-driven trajectories of Pyrenean flora

This research axis aims to characterize the composition and spatial distribution of Pyrenean plant communities. Using species distribution modelling and climate projections, it seeks to assess how the biogeographical patterns of Pyrenean flora may shift under future climate change, identifying potential range contractions, expansions, and refugia across elevation gradients.

Lack of flowering in mountain plant populations

One research project investigates the causes of an observed flowering failure across multiple plant families. This work specifically targets populations of Maianthemum bifolium and Delphinium montanum, which remain at the vegetative stage at one site while flowering normally elsewhere. The objective is to disentangle potential environmental or physiological drivers underlying this localized reproductive failure.

Population genomics of montane orchids

Another research project investigates the population genomics of Cypripedium calceolus and Orchis spitzelii across the three major mountain ranges in France: the Pyrenees, the Massif Central, and the Alps. Both species reach their southern distribution limits in the Pyrenees, making this region particularly relevant for assessing population status, genetic structure, and historical biogeography at range margins.
