Research Interests: Vincent Fugère's research focuses on the response of freshwater biodiversity to human disturbances. His work primarily investigates the effects of land use on biodiversity in lakes and rivers within agricultural watersheds. He explores the causes and consequences of biodiversity changes and the role of rapid evolution in population persistence and biodiversity maintenance in degraded environments. Fugère is associated with several research themes, including studying and understanding biodiversity, accelerating observations, collections and data, and analyzing the causes and consequences of ecological changes.
