Introduction
My research interests concerns marine quantitative ecology and species - environment interactions. I worked with various habitat modelling technique (e.g. regression, deep-learning) across data types (e.g. presence - absence, metagenomic reads).
These techniques have been applied to mediterranean species of commercial interest and invasive species in the climate change context. More recently, I focused on functional biogeography of key metabolic pathways (e.g. carbon fixation) in plankton.

As the volume of accessible marine pelagic observations increases exponentially, incorporating diverse data types such as metagenomics and quantitative imaging, the need for standardized modelling frameworks becomes critical to predict biogeographic patterns in space and time and across the diverse range of emergent sampling methods. In response, w...
In recent years, the volume of accessible marine pelagic observations has increased exponentially and now incorporates a wealth of new data types, including information derived from metagenomics and quantitative imaging. This calls for standardized modelling protocol across taxonomically harmonized observations, to better predict biogeographic patt...
Carbon fixation is a key metabolic function shaping marine life, but the underlying taxonomic and functional diversity involved is only partially understood. Using metagenomic resources targeted at marine piconanoplankton, we provide a reproducible machine learning framework to derive the potential biogeography of genomic functions through the mult...
Primary production, performed by RUBISCO, and often associated with carbon concentration mechanisms, is of major importance in the oceans. Thanks to growing metagenomic resources (e.g., eukaryotic Metagenome-Assembled-Genomes; MAGs), we provide the first reproducible machine-learning-based framework to derive the potential biogeography of a given f...
The Mediterranean Sea is a hotspot of global warming where key commercial species, such as demersal and pelagic fishes, and cephalopods, could experience abrupt distribution shifts in the near future. However, the extent to which these range shifts may impact fisheries catch potential remains poorly understood at the scale of Exclusive Economic Zon...
Fisheries and aquaculture are facing many challenges worldwide, especially adaptation to climate change. Investigating future distributional changes of largely harvested species has become an extensive research topic, aiming at providing realistic ecological scenarios on which to build management measures, to help fisheries and aquaculture adapt to...

Biological invasions represent one of the main threats to marine biodiversity. From a conservation perspective, especially in the context of increasing sea warming, it is critical to examine the suitability potential of geographical areas for the arrival of Range Expanding Introduced and Native Species (REINS), and hence anticipate the risk of such...
In a context of increasing anthropogenic pressure, projecting species potential distributional shifts is of major importance for the sustainable exploitation of marine species. Despite their major economical (i.e. important fisheries) and ecological (i.e. central position in food-webs) importance, cephalopods literature rarely addresses an explicit...
Environmental conditions are shaping the spatial distribution of marine species worldwide. However, climate change may alter their future distribution, impacting marine resources exploitation and ecosystems balance. In this context, this PhD identifies climate induced impacts in species and geographical areas, by focusing on some species, indigenou...
The spectre of increasing impacts on exploited fish stocks in consequence of warmer climate conditions has become a major concern over the last decades. It is now imperative to improve the way we project the effects of future climate warming on fisheries. While estimating future climate‐induced changes in fish distribution is an important contribut...
The distribution of marine organisms is strongly influenced by climatic gradients worldwide. The ecological niche (sensu Hutchinson) of a species, i.e. the combination of environmental tolerances and resources required by an organism, interacts with the environment to determine its geographical range. This duality between niche and distribution all...
