Research interests
Pavoine et al. 2011 Journal of Ecology
I analyze and develop statistical approaches to describe patterns in the phylogenetic and functional diversity of communities across geographic space and environmental gradients.
Jono & Pavoine 2012 PloS One
Part of my research concerns the impact of human activities on the phylogenetic diversity (PD) and trait-based functional diversity (FD) of animals and plants at local and global scales.
Extract from Pavoine, Marcon & Ricotta 2016
Methods in Ecology and Evolution
I develop dissimilarity and diversity indices, and analyse the mathematical properties of existing ones to evaluate their pertinence for measuring species, phylogenetic and trait-based functional diversity.
Pavoine & Ricotta 2013 Evolution
I analyse phylogenetic signals in species' traits and the resulting potential links between phylogenetic and trait-based functional diversity patterns. I develop and analyse tests for phylogenetic signal.
Pavoine & Ricotta 2023
Biological Conservation
I am particularly interested in species that are distinct from all other in a clade because they have no, or very few extant, closely related species. I both develop indices of originality (or distinctiveness) and identify original species at large scales for conservation priorities.
