Understanding how animals respond to a changing environment. Research in evolutionary ecotoxicology and ecophysiology at INRAE.

Evolutionary ecotoxicology & ecophysiology

Quentin Petitjean.

Understanding how animals respond to a changing environment.

I study how pollution, temperature and pathogens interact—and why some individuals and populations cope better than others.

Ecology. Individual variation. Open science.

One environment. Different responses.

Research themes ↗
01 / MULTIPLE STRESSORS

Life under environmental pressure

From contaminants to warming and pathogens: understanding combined effects across biological levels.

02 / INDIVIDUAL VARIATION

Why responses differ

Exploring behaviour, physiology and local adaptation in wild populations.

03 / POLLINATOR HEALTH

A closer look at wild bees

Investigating how contaminants and environmental stressors affect bees and their health.
