RESEARCH INTERESTS
I'm a PhD student, having started my thesis in fall 2021 at the University of Toulouse and SETE-CNRS in Moulis, France. I'm studying the effects of global warming on vertebrate ectotherms and more specifically nighttime temperatures on lizard physiology and activity, the impact of sub-optimal conditions initiated by global warming on lizard phenotypes with the local context of the colonization of mountain environments by the wall lizard. Generally I have always been passionate about reptiles and interested in the evolution of organisms and phenotypic plasticity, how organisms cope with a new environment and whether they are able to adapt to recent climate change
