Research Interests
I'm interested in the evolutionary ecology of deceptive orchids, especially in the relationships between European orchids, their pollinators and the rewarding species that flowers nearby. In fact, depending on their diversity, density and/or floral display, these co-flowering species can have a strong influence on the reproductive success of deceptive orchid species. I investigate various aspects of these interactions during my PhD project, mainly in Dactylorhiza sambucina and Traunsteinera globosa as model species.
I also work in collaboration with Sophie Dunand-Martin Botanical Gardens of Geneva on various questions involving in vitro culture of European orchids.
