Arnaud MOULY

Arnaud MOULY is an Assistant Professor at Université de Franche-Comté, affiliated with the Chrono-environnement research unit (UMR 6249 CNRS/UFC) and the DYNABIO group. He serves as Director of the Botanical Gardens of the University of Franche-Comté and the City of Besançon. His research focuses on systematics, evolution, and community ecology, with emphasis on tropical flora (e.g., Rubiaceae family in Oceania) and temperate plant communities' responses to environmental changes. Key skills include molecular phylogeny, community phylogeny analysis, and vegetation surveys.

His work spans biogeography of New Caledonia and Philippine endemics, plant adaptation to ultramafic soils, and ecological recovery processes in disturbed ecosystems. Over 50 peer-reviewed articles reflect his expertise in plant systematics, phylogenetics, and biodiversity assessment. He collaborates internationally on projects involving taxonomy, evolution, and ecological resilience.

Grants and advising are not explicitly detailed, but his research outputs indicate active participation in interdisciplinary projects. The Botanical Gardens provide a platform for applied conservation and public education initiatives, complementing his academic role.
