Elodie Chapurlat
Elodie Chapurlat's research focuses on plant-animal interactions, currently applied to the optimization of flower strips. Her other interests includes conservation and restoration biology as well as pollinator monitoring.
Research
In my post-doctoral project, I focus on optimizing and evaluating flower strips to enhance delivery of ecosystem services to agricultural systems in Sweden. I evaluate multiple services (soil decomposition, biological control of pests and pollination) as well as possible detrimental effects (attraction of pests) of flowers strips, both above- and below-ground.
In previous projects, I worked with the evolutionary ecology of floral traits in the context of both plant-pollinator and plant-herbivore interactions. I have also worked with population demography and management of endangered species (both terrestrial and marine), and with the evaluation of restoration practices.
My main areas of research are:
Population ecology
Plant-animal interactions
Ecosystem services in agriculture
Evolutionary ecology and phenotypic selection on floral traits
Intraspecific diversity of floral scent
Conservation and restoration biology
