We work on a large variety of organisms, ranging from humans to invertebrates, from mammals to birds and from reptiles to fish, to study how they respond and adapt to variable environments.
We answer these kinds of questions within different branches of evolutionary ecology:
- genetics and palaeogenetics, often with a strong interaction with archaeology
- human evolution
- behavioural ecology
- palaeoecology
Some of our work may be relevant for conservation, but it is not one of our main topics.
We have released two high-resolution continuous palaeoclimatic datasets covering the whole world, one for the last 120,000 years, and the other for the last 800,000 years. This is one of the reasons why we often use palaeoclimate in our research.
We have also released several pieces of software, and there is more to come...
Finally, when we need to relax, we like playing board games...
