معرفی
Camille Delavaux is a researcher affiliated with ETH Zurich's Department of Global Ecosystem Ecology, part of the Professorship for Global Ecosystem Ecology. Her work focuses on plant-microbe interactions, ecosystem ecology, and biogeographic patterns. Key research interests include island biogeography, microbial diversity, invasion biology, and the application of environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques. She has conducted fieldwork in diverse locations like the Galapagos Islands, Panama, and semi-arid prairie ecosystems.
Her research explores how mutualistic relationships (e.g., mycorrhizal fungi) influence plant diversity and community dynamics, with studies addressing topics such as latitudinal diversity gradients, invasive species impacts, and soil microbial feedback mechanisms. She has contributed to developing molecular tools for identifying arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and advocated for integrative approaches in ecological research, including the use of large language models in science.
Delavaux collaborates on projects spanning tropical forests, post-agricultural grasslands, and island ecosystems, emphasizing the role of microbes in planetary health and the Sustainable Development Goals. Her work bridges field ecology, molecular biology, and computational methods to address global ecological challenges.
