Timothée Bastide

Timothée Bastide is a Doctoral Researcher at Université Paris Saclay, affiliated with the Plant diversity and evolution department. His work focuses on the evolutionary biology of oil-producing flowers in the Iridaceae family, specifically examining elaiophores in the Tigridieae tribe.

• Primary Research: Evolution of floral secretory structures and plant-pollinator resource dynamics
• Methodology: Phylogenetic analysis using chloroplast genomes and AFLP data, ancestral state reconstruction, morphogenetic studies

His 2022 publication in Botany Letters reviewed interdisciplinary plant biology frameworks. Timothée is supervised by Olivier Chauveau and Xavier Aubriot at the Ecologie, Société et Évolution laboratory (IDEEV).
