About Benoit Geslin
Benoit Geslin is a University Lecturer at Aix-Marseille University, specializing in the effects of environmental changes on pollinator behavior and the structure of pollinator communities. He holds a Ph.D. in Ecology from Université Pierre et Marie Curie and has conducted research in various institutions, including postdoctoral work in Argentina.
Work at Aix-Marseille University
Benoit Geslin has been serving as a University Lecturer at Aix-Marseille University since 2015. His role involves teaching and conducting research in the field of ecology, with a specific focus on pollinator behavior and environmental changes. Over the past nine years, he has contributed to the academic community in the Région de Marseille, France, through his lectures and research initiatives.
Education and Expertise
Benoit Geslin holds a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Ecology from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI), which he completed between 2009 and 2013. He also earned a Master of Science (MSc) in Ecology from Université de Rennes 1, where he studied from 2008 to 2009. His educational background includes a Master's degree in Ecology from Université de Rennes 1, obtained from 2007 to 2008. His expertise encompasses population biology, landscape ecology, and the study of pollinator communities.
Research Focus
Benoit Geslin's research centers on the effects of environmental changes on pollinator behavior, particularly concerning the loss of heterogeneity at local and landscape scales. He specializes in understanding the composition and structure of pollinator communities along gradients of anthropisation. His work aims to elucidate the impact of local and landscape heterogeneity on the structure of plant-pollinator networks.
Previous Positions
Before his current position, Benoit Geslin held several academic roles. He worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Universidad Nacional de Río Negro in San Carlos de Bariloche from 2014 to 2015. He served as a Lecturer at Université de Versailles St. Quentin-en-Yvelines / CFA AFTI from 2012 to 2014.
