RechercheMon laboratoire s’intéresse à la systématique et l’évolution des Cypéracées (>5600 espèces) et d’autres familles importantes des milieux tempérés et boréaux. Nous utilisons des outils génomiques et une pluralité d’approches phénotypiques (morphologie, anatomie, parasitologie, etc.) pour ré-évaluer la délimitation des espèces, produire des classifications naturelles et étudier la diversification et l’évolution des plantes nordiques.Étudiants CSBQCassandra BradshawPh.D. Étienne Lacroix-CarignanPh.D. Marc-Aurèle ValléePh.D. Joshua JarryM.Sc.
