Inférence paléobiologique dans un cadre phylogénétique.
Article publié dans The New York Times sur nos travaux de recherche : Why Crocodiles Are Not Just Living Fossils
Nous étudions la structure fine du tissu osseux d’organismes disparus (paléohistologie) pour effectuer des inférences paléobiologiques du thermo-métabolisme (paléophysiologie) dans un cadre phylogénétique chez les vertébrés.
Actions mises en place pour promouvoir la paléophysiologie comme discipline émergente:
Organisation avec Adam Huttenlocker (University of Southern California, USA) du premier symposium international en paléophysiologie des vertébrés dans le cadre du « 5th International Palaeontological Congress » (20 communications orales et 5 posters) (2018).
Création de l’axe de recherche « Paléophysiologie » au sein de l’équipe Phylogénie et Diversification des Métazoaires du CR2P (2019-2024).
Edition avec Adam Huttenlocker d’un numéro thématique des Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London sur la paléophysiologie des vertébrés (2020).
