Annie Guiller

Annie Guiller is a Full Professor at the University of Picardie Jules Verne (UPJV), affiliated with the EDYSAN (Ecology and Dynamics of Anthropized Systems) research unit, a CNRS-UPJV joint laboratory. Her work spans evolutionary biology, population genetics, and conservation science, with a focus on invasive and threatened species. She holds leadership roles in multiple national and international research projects and contributes to academic governance at institutional and national levels.

• PhD in Evolutionary Biology, University of Rennes
• Postdoctoral position, University of Nottingham, UK
• Assistant Professor, University of Rennes 1 (1995–2015)
• Full Professor, University of Picardie Jules Verne (2015–present)

Annie Guiller's research centers on evolutionary and integrative biogeography, particularly examining the genetic and ecological dynamics of invasive and threatened species. Her key areas include phylogeography, landscape genetics, invasion biology, and conservation genetics. She investigates how spatial genetic variation in quantitative and qualitative traits is influenced by environmental and anthropogenic factors. Her work integrates molecular tools with ecological modeling to understand species responses to global change, habitat fragmentation, and climate shifts.

The recent publications reflect a strong trend toward integrating genetic data into species distribution models, analyzing spatial genetic structure in fragmented landscapes, and understanding invasion mechanisms in plants and invertebrates. Her research spans from molecular phylogeography of land snails to agrivoltaic systems' ecological impacts, showing a broad interdisciplinary reach across conservation, evolutionary biology, and sustainable land use.

Annie Guiller has not received any explicitly mentioned scientific awards in the provided text.

She actively supervises PhD and Master’s students, including Pedro Poli, Erwan Le Jeune, and Clémentine Inghels, on topics ranging from climate-driven species redistribution to agrivoltaic impacts. She has secured competitive research grants from the Hauts-de-France Region, PHC Polonium, PHC Ulysse, and BiodivERsA. Her administrative roles include co-leading Axis 2 (Functional Ecology of Forest Neo-ecosystems) at EDYSAN, membership in the Scientific Council of the Regional Natural Heritage of Hauts-de-France, and serving as a substitute member of the CNU Section 67 and an HCERES expert.

Guiller is a core member of the EDYSAN research unit and collaborates extensively within the FLEUR network and on pan-European projects like WOODNET. Her research integrates field studies, genetic analysis, and modeling to address pressing questions in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem dynamics under global change.
