Recherches actuelles

Je suis passionné par l’écologie, l’évolution et la conservation; particulièrement des plantes. Je m’intéresse notamment à la façon dont les individus, les populations et les communautés des plantes répondent aux changements environnementaux de divers types, y compris le réchauffement climatique et les perturbations humaines. En plus de mon programme de recherche empirique décrit ci-dessous, j’ai développé un vif intérêt pour les théories générales de l'écologie et de l'évolution (voir mes livres), ainsi que pour la synthèse des connaissances sur les dynamiques écologiques et les changements de biodiversité à travers divers types d'écosystèmes.

Dans le Parc national du Mont Mégantic (et parfois ailleurs), nous poursuivons des projets sous trois thèmes : (1) Contraintes non climatiques sur les déplacements des distributions géographiques des espèces végétales. (2) Quelles sont les conséquences du réchauffement climatique pour le timing des interactions entre les populations et les espèces? (3) Changements à long terme dans les communautés végétales.

Je suis aussi membre du Quebec Centre for Biodiversity Science (CSBQ
