Who's who

We focus on different aspects of acanthomorph systematics.

Team leader:

• Pr. Guillaume Lecointre: larger scale phylogenetics and methods for phylogenetics reconstruction.

Assistant professors (MNHN and Paris 6 University):

• Agnès Dettaï: molecular phylogenetics and taxonomy, barcoding.
• Nalani Schnell: comparative morphology, phylogeny and evolution of teleosts, with a focus on larval fishes.
• Cyril Gallut: molecular phylogenetics and bioinformatics.
• Bruno Chanet: morpho-anatomy and phylogenetics, especially of Pleuronectiformes but also on Tetraodontiformes.

PhD students (present):

• Donald Davesne: paleontology and origin of the acanthomorphs
• Marie Fisler: philosophie des sciences (sujet : métaphore de l'arbre dans les sciences naturelles).

PhD students (past):

• Anne-Claire Lautrédou: phylogenetics of Serraniformes.
• Blaise Li: large scale phylogeny of Acanthomorpha (Thesis title: Fiabilité des clades et congruence taxinomique : Application à la phylogénie des téléostéens acanthomorphes).

Former members of the team

• Catherine Ozouf-Costaz: comparative cytogenetics, especially of Antarctic acanthomorphs.
• Martine Desoutter: morpho-anatomy and taxonomy, especially of Pleuronectiformes.
• Sandrine Tercerie: morphology and databases.
