Functional biogeography of vertebrates in a context of global changes

Functional biogeography is a promising tool for understanding how historical processes have shaped the forms and functions of organisms across the world but also for understanding the consequences in terms of ecosystem functioning of ongoing global changes. In this context, I will present my research work on various vertebrate groups, addressing key challenges and outlining prospective developments in macroecology and functional biogeography.
