Collaborations
I have collaborated extensively at the national and international level. Thus, over the last decade I have established a robust collaborative network that regularly publishes together, with the complementary expertise of network members rendering the research more than the sum-of-its-parts. Since arrival in France, I have initiated new collaborations at the national and CEFE level. Details are as follows.

French National collaborators
Jose Montoya (Moulis experimental station; Experimental eco-evolutionary dynamics), Sonia Kefi (University of Montpellier; Theoretical models and analysis of eco-evolutionary dynamics), Vasilis Dakos (University of Paris; Theoretical models and analysis of eco- evolutionary dynamics).
