About Aurele Toussaint
My research sits at the interface of macroecology, functional ecology, and conservation biology, with a focus on understanding how the functional diversity of vertebrates and plants is distributed across the globe, what processes generate and maintain these patterns, and how anthropogenic pressures are reshaping them.
