I am a freshwater ecologist particularly fond of aquatic fungi. I want to understand how global changes can determine microbial communities diversity and activity and how that impacts freshwater ecosystem functioning. My interests include the effects of biodiversity changes, temperature, nutrient enrichment, drought, fungicides, multiple stressors... My work range from lab to field work, from small tubes to mesocosms and streams. I use microscopy- and molecular-based techniques to assess microbial diversity. I am working towards aquatic fungi conservation (freshwater and marine).
