Passionné d’histoire naturelle depuis 2014, initialement par l'ornitho et la botanique, maintenant par l'ensemble du vivant (dont herpéto, entomo, gastéropodes, galles...). Je suis maître de conférences à l'université Lyon 1, où j’enseigne la théorie et la modélisation en écologie et en évolution.

J’ai eu la chance de vivre sept ans aux États-Unis ce qui m’a permis de bien me familiariser avec la faune et la flore américaine, en particulier du Midwest (Michigan et Kansas).

I've had broad interests in natural history since 2014, from an initial passion for birds and plants to a more recent enthusiasm for the entirety of the tree of life (herps, insects, gasteropods, galls…). I am an assistant professor in Lyon, where I teach theory and modelling in ecology and evolution.

I have been fortunate to spend seven years in the US and have thus become quite familiar with the flora and fauna of North America, in particular in the Midwest (Michigan & Kansas).

Here is an (old) list of handy links from when I used to live in the US:

1) Observations in a 900 miles radius around Lawrence, KS:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?lat=38.973150&lng=-95.238250&order_by=observed_on&place_id=any&radius=900&subview=grid

2) Observations seen in the Midwest:
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=3,13,20,24,25,28,29,31,32,35,38,44&subview=grid

3) All the plants with a coefficient of conservatism greater than 3 in Douglas county, KS:

4) Species seen in Douglas county, KS, that I have yet to see:

5) Vertebrates seen in Douglas county, KS that are not on my county list:

7) Find all the observations of galls (in the "Galls of North America" project) that have a given genus or species as a host (rosa here, with plantID 53438):
