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.
