ResearchResearch in the lab focuses on the discovery and classification of plant biodiversity of temperate, boreal and arctic-alpine areas. Studies have tackled subjects going from new species description to biogeography, phylogenomics and co-evolution between plants and fungal parasites. Most projects focus on Cyperaceae (sedges, >5600 species), one of the largest plant families in northern areas. However, we occasionally work on other plant families.QCBS students Maurane BourgouinPh.D.  Étienne Lacroix-CarignanPh.D.  Marc-Aurèle ValléeM.Sc. Simon PesantB.Sc. Thomas VilleneuveB.Sc.
