Anthony Roume

Anthony Roume is a Research Engineer in Agroecology and Doctor in Landscape Ecology at Toulouse INP's School of Agronomy, Food and Environment, working within the Agroecology and Environment Research Unit. His work focuses on understanding the relationships between agricultural landscapes, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, with particular expertise in carabid beetles and other ground-dwelling arthropods.

Dr. Roume's research interests include:

• Agroecology and sustainable farming systems
• Landscape ecology and biodiversity conservation
• Carabid beetle (Carabidae) ecology and behavior
• Araneae (spider) population dynamics
• Biological pest control through biodiversity
• Effects of landscape structure on species distribution

His publication record from 2008-2023 demonstrates a consistent research trajectory examining how agricultural practices and landscape configuration influence ground-dwelling arthropod communities. Recent work focuses on cover crop systems, intercropping approaches, and habitat management strategies that enhance biodiversity and associated ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes.

Dr. Roume has contributed significantly to several major research initiatives:

• Carabid'Haies (hedge quality and carabid communities)
• CLEAR (Collaborative Landscape planning for Enhanced Agrobiodiversity and Resilience)
• MARMITE (Soil organic matter and ecosystem services)
• CARAB (Regulation of Pests through Biodiversity)

He is actively involved in academic instruction and mentorship:

• Teaching Entomology for 1st year engineering students
• Delivering Ecology courses for 5th year students in the DA TERREA module
• Supervising student projects, group work, and dissertations across multiple programs including DA TERREA, DA TICTAC, and the Master in Agroecology

His professional background includes doctoral research on semi-natural environments' influence on carabid beetle distribution in rural landscapes, followed by extensive field research examining landscape effects on biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural contexts.
