50 years of research in ecology

For half a century, the main objective of our work has been to identify the mechanisms and processes that regulate the dynamics of biodiversity. Our research perspectives are set in the context of sustainable management of natural resources, covering both land and species management, whether threatened, invasive or exploited.
